## About

Established in 2014 and based in Delaware, US, Second Front Systems, Inc. is a public benefit software company that equips defense and national security professionals. The company serves customers in the States of the District of Columbia, Illinois, California, and Virginia. Within the past year, both the Air Force’s AFWERX technology accelerator and General Services Administration have awarded contracts to Second Front for the use of Atlas Fulcrum. In September 2024, Second Front Systems, Inc. raised USD 70 million in series C funding led by new investor Salesforce Ventures, with participation from another new investor Battery Ventures. Returning investors NEA, Moore Strategic Ventures, and ARTIS Ventures also participated in the round.


The company's initial product Atlas Fulcrum software is designed to help government users discover and engage with venture capital-backed, commercially-developed technologies for use in the national security field. The idea is to find dual-use tools made by innovative startups outside of the traditional defense industrial base. 

Second Front Systems, Inc. plants to used its latest funding to further expand the capabilities of Second Front's core software platform, Atlas Fulcrum, which has received a major contract award from the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Air Force's innovation arm AFWERX, in addition to supporting the development of additional products and growth activities.
