GROW SMARTER & SELL STRONGER

Crux helps founder-led Space and Defense companies scale, structure, and sell for maximum value by combining Investment Banking services and CFO expertise under one roof. Unlike traditional investment banks that focus only on transactions or CFOs who step away after operational fixes, Crux takes a hands-on, long-term approach to help businesses grow smarter and sell stronger.

Acting as a strategic SWAT team, we optimize operations, increase valuations, and guide businesses through high-stakes transitions with clarity and confidence.
