In an era where defense technology races ahead, Deterrence is quietly building the industrial backbone to support it. With a team of just 16 and $10.1M in funding, they're automating the production of the most critical, dangerous, and regulated components in modern warfare.

"The best offense is a good Deterrence. They're not just building weapons; they're building the factories that build the weapons."

The leadership team is telling. CEO Dhruva Rajendra brings technical vision, while Henry Olgers heads manufacturing—the operational engine. Patrick Long leads federal sales, and Allie Brandenburger handles government relations. This isn't a startup building a product and hoping for buyers; it's a defense-native team engineered for the realities of procurement cycles and classified programs.

• Autonomous manufacturing for energetic components (not just assembly)
• Full vertical integration from raw materials to finished products
• Team built for defense: federal sales + government relations leadership
• 16 people generating $3.3M in revenue ($206K/employee)
• Framer-based website suggests modern tech stack for a legacy industry
