Exclusive: Arlington Capital's GRVTY breaks cover in cyber and intel race

• The company is led by Katie Selbe. She worked at Northrop Grumman for more than 15 years.
• It has more than 325 employees across 11 states. Its footprints include Arlington, Virginia, a defense-tech hot spot, and St. Louis, home to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
• It's logged more than $100 million in revenue.

What they're saying: "A lot of the insights that we're getting at the combatant commands, we're able to filter those back into some of the larger [requests for proposal] that, maybe, back in D.C. they're not tracking," Selbe told Axios.

Follow the money: Arlington Capital has since 1999 invested in more than 150 companies. It's currently working through a $3.8 billion fund.

• "The geopolitical risks out there are more complicated and more pressing than ever," managing partner David Wodlinger said in an interview.
• "We want to do our part and steward hundreds of millions of dollars into a company that's designed to address the highest priority areas of our customers' needs."

What we're watching: If and how GRVTY differentiates itself from hordes of competition.
