About

Pacific Defense is a commercial-minded defense technology company rapidly delivering military-use electromagnetic spectrum solutions to the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and Five Eyes Alliance partners. Founded in 2020, the company is purpose-built to drive the adoption of open-systems architecture within the US defense industrial base, enabling the military to leverage commercial technology at pace. Pacific Defense specializes in Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) solutions aligned with C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and The Open Group's Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standards.

The company develops and delivers advanced capabilities in Electronic Warfare, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Communications, and Command and Control (C2) across land, air, sea, and space domains.

Sigma Defense

In 2006, Scott Ritchie co-founded Sigma Defense with a vision to bridge the gap between traditional defense contracting and modern technological innovation. The company was born from a simple observation: the Department of Defense needed agile, software-first solutions that could keep pace with rapidly evolving threats, but existing vendors were mired in legacy approaches. Starting with a focus on tactical communications, Sigma Defense evolved by integrating hardware, software, and AI-driven intelligence to deliver mission-ready outcomes for U.S. and coalition forces. Today, Sigma Defense has grown into a $500MM enterprise through strategic acquisitions and organic growth, including the additions of SOLUTE, SUB-U Systems, Electronic Warfare Associates, and Aries Defense. Under CEO Matt Jones' leadership, the company delivers integrated solutions across CJADC2, C5ISR, electronic warfare, and DevSecOps. Their flagship Olympus ecosystem provides the first technology ecosystem dedicated to enabling Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control, serving as the U.S. Navy's de facto DevSecOps platform. With nearly half their team having served in uniform, Sigma Defense combines battlefield insight with cutting-edge technology to serve all U.S. military branches from tactical edge to command center.

Fulfil

We're a team of engineers and operators building something genuinely new: a completely automated grocery fulfillment system that actually works. Most online grocery operations are messy, expensive, and labor-intensive. We reimagined the whole thing from scratch. Our robots handle the picking and packing across all product categories and temperature zones - fresh produce, frozen goods, everything - while tracking inventory at the item level. This isn't theoretical. Our systems are live in Mountain View, powering grocery delivery for major retailers. What drives us isn't just automation for its own sake. It's solving the environmental and economic problems in the food supply chain. By making online grocery profitable and efficient, we reduce waste, lower emissions, and create a system that's actually sustainable. We're backed by top-tier VCs and partnered with industry leaders, but we're still building like a startup: fast, focused, and willing to tackle the hard problems that others won't touch.
