Scout Ventures Engages LCS Communications as Strategic Communications Partner

Leading the Conversation in Dual-Use Venture Capital

Dual-use venture capital is at a critical inflection point. As geopolitical tensions reshape technology priorities and defense spending reaches unprecedented levels, the gap between traditional venture capital and mission-critical innovation has never been more apparent.

Scout Ventures' rallying call is clear: frontier technology investment must combine deep expertise in the government and defense innovation ecosystem with venture execution excellence, and this transformation is not only possible, it is already happening.

A Partnership Built for The Moment

Today, Scout Ventures has partnered with LCS Communications, a PR and communications firm with a proven track record of elevating industry-shaping conversations. Their approach mirrors ours: outcome-focused, boundary-pushing, and committed to setting new standards for what is possible.

"LCS Communications is excited to be working with Scout Ventures, a venture capital leader redefining how frontier technology companies scale at the intersection of defense and commercial markets," said Luca Sesti, Principal and Founder at LCS Communications. "Together, we can help the market see that dual-use investment excellence is not just about capital deployment, it's about delivering unparalleled access to government partnerships, non-dilutive funding, and national security networks that traditional VCs simply cannot match."

Collectively Shaping the Future of Dual-Use Technology Investment

As Brad Harrison, Scout Ventures' Managing Partner, explains,

"Our firm's deep knowledge of the government and defense innovation ecosystem stems from our unique composition—military veterans and technology entrepreneurs with a proven track record of leveraging government non-dilutive funding mechanisms to accelerate the development of transformative technologies. With over $300M in non-dilutive capital secured for our portfolio companies, we're enabling dual-use technology companies to achieve outcomes that seemed impossible just years ago.

"By pairing LCS Communications' strategic PR expertise with our mission to be the definitive leader in dual-use venture capital, we're ensuring our subject matter expertise and strategic insights reach government and defense officials who shape policy and procurement decisions. This partnership extends our capacity to identify and support the best technologies in the world as we advance our mission to help the United States and allied nations deter war through technological superiority. As we progress towards closing our fifth fund, this collaboration will amplify the work we've done to transform traditional VC models in order to accelerate mission-critical technologies."
