Booz Allen triples venture capital commitment to $300 million

MCLEAN, Va. - Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:BAH), a $13.58 billion market cap company with a GREAT financial health score according to InvestingPro, announced Monday it is increasing its venture capital commitment from $100 million to $300 million. The expanded Booz Allen Ventures fund aims to invest in early-stage technology companies focused on U.S. government missions, with plans to make 20-25 new investments over the next five years. The company’s strong financial position, with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations and a moderate debt level, supports this strategic expansion.

The company will target investments in artificial intelligence, cyber, defense tech, deep tech, and is expanding into companies supporting American reindustrialization. The venture fund has already invested in 17 portfolio companies including Albedo, Hidden Level, Second Front and Shift5.

"We are in a race for global tech supremacy, and America’s innovation ecosystem is our most important source of strategic advantage," said Matt Calderone, chief financial officer at Booz Allen, according to the press release.

The venture arm provides portfolio companies with strategic partnerships to navigate the federal environment in addition to capital investment. Booz Allen Ventures will focus on technologies supporting national defense priorities, space domain awareness, border security and military modernization.

"Our national defense requires fast, powerful technology solutions that deliver outcomes when they are needed most," said Brian MacCarthy, managing partner of Booz Allen Ventures, in the company statement.

Booz Allen Hamilton reported revenue of $12.0 billion for the 12 months ended March 31, 2025, representing a 12.36% year-over-year growth, and employs approximately 35,800 people globally. The advanced technology company serves defense, civil, and national security sectors, while maintaining a consistent dividend growth track record, having raised dividends for 9 consecutive years. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued based on its Fair Value assessment.

The announcement comes as the company positions itself to support U.S. technological competitiveness amid evolving global challenges, according to the press release. Trading at a P/E ratio of 15.02, which is relatively low compared to its near-term earnings growth potential, the company appears well-positioned for future expansion.
