Where Tactical Precision Meets Scalable Innovation.
About Midnight Defense
Midnight Defense is the scalable engine of NGage Strategic Capital’s portfolio—built on a high-multiple, tech-forward model that thrives where innovation meets national defense. We focus on acquiring and integrating cybersecurity, AI, and next-gen infrastructure firms through an M&A and SPV framework designed for repeatability and scale.

Our mission is precise: build the leading next-gen defense platform—one that secures assets, wins contracts, and exits strong. Midnight Defense is where tactical precision meets long-term enterprise value.
