Founded in 2025 by the team from Foxglove Capital, we have built an investment platform that provides investors with direct access to former operators and financial experts from Australia, United Kingdom, United States, and Israel, to source, validate and accelerate cutting edge defence capabilities that can deliver competitive returns and strengthen allied national security.
Our thesis is that the most successful ventures are those capable of delivering innovative capability to the forward edge with speed. Yet defence markets are often difficult to access and navigate, requiring trusted networks to source and validate opportunities, understand operational relevance, and establish credible pathways to adoption.
This is precisely what Foxglove Defence delivers.
We have assembled a team with deep operational experience, investment discipline and strategic access, supported by an integrated platform designed to identify, validate and accelerate high-impact ventures.
Fundamentally, we believe in impact with pace. Our experience has shown that value follows those ventures capable of rapid adoption, adaptability and deployment into allied markets.
Advisory Board
The Platform
At the core of the platform is the Foxglove Defence Fund, which exists to back high-conviction defence focused ventures across allied markets. The enabling capabilities - Foxglove Capital, the SABIR Foundry, and Adriarc - actively reinforce the Fund's investments by supporting disciplined fund management, accelerating capabilities and integration, as well as assisting with access and deployment across allied markets.
The engine room for fund management and diligence is Foxglove Capital. The team based in Cottesloe, Western Australia, has decades of financial expertise combined with a global network of like-minded investment funds that strengthen deal flow, enable rigorous diligence and support capital allocation with conviction.
The Sabir Foundry is a unique accelerator and venture creation capability. It aims to bridge the gap between innovation and adoption by providing strategic support, capital pathways and practical expertise for Australian entities while supporting access to the Australian market for portfolio companies.
Adriarc supports Foxglove Defence's access to development across international markets. Designed to help portfolio companies expand across allied markets it develops trusted regional partnerships to provide local expertise, national security advisory services, and strategic networks.
Together, these platforms create multiple pathways for value creation, helping ventures scale faster, access new markets and realise greater long-term potential.
The foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) carries a powerful lesson in balance and tipping points. In the right dose, it is a life-saving medicine; in excess, it's deadly. The potency lies in precision.
At Foxglove Defence, we have built a platform underpinned by the same principle. We believe that commercial success and national security are not opposing goals, but mutually reinforcing if applied with discipline and precision.
By investing in impactful capabilities that can be readily adopted we will strengthen Australia’s defence and its allies, while creating enduring value for our investors, our nation, and the wider trusted ecosystem.
Guided by our values of innovation, impact, integrity, and national security, we source, validate and accelerate capabilities that matter to maximise value creation and deliver lasting strategic advantage.
