On December 30, Hale Capital Partners announced that it recently closed an investment in ExistX, Inc., a federal solutions company redefining how cutting-edge innovations transition into operational impact. By bridging the “technology transition valley of death,” ExistX ensures groundbreaking research becomes operational capabilities, supporting high-stakes missions across the battlefield and in critical defense operations, according to Hale Capital.
Founded in 2023, ExistX delivers agile, adaptable digital solutions tailored to the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC). With a steadfast commitment to dual-use solutions, the company is empowering national security efforts across four critical domains: cyber resilience and network-agnostic data transport, secure communications and data privacy, user-friendly autonomy and automated reasoning, and specialized commercial applications.
ExistX’s success is rooted in its origins as the applied engineering spinout of Galois, a leading research organization specializing in advanced computing and secure systems. Recognizing the industry-wide challenge of transitioning research into field-ready, operational applications, Galois created ExistX to bridge this gap for their research in order to maintain its own research-focused culture. Purpose-built to address this challenge, ExistX combines deep technical expertise with repeatable engineering practices and organizational compliance to ensure groundbreaking innovations make it into mission-critical operations.
With the support of Hale Capital, ExistX is poised to expand its network of research partnerships, leveraging Hale’s nearly three decades of experience with technology-forward defense and intelligence contractors. Hale Capital’s investment will enable ExistX to grow its business development team, build on its profitable operations and established customer base, and collaborate with Hale’s portfolio of companies, leading research firms, and national labs. This strategic partnership positions ExistX to unlock new opportunities for fielding transition-ready innovations and delivering a lasting impact on national security, according to Hale Capital.
