Forming a leader in US federal space and satellite missions

For more than a decade, Macquarie Capital has used its balance sheet to invest in the technology companies providing solutions that deliver critical services to support national security efforts.

Macquarie Capital’s Growth & Technology investing team makes targeted investments, working with those companies to grow their capabilities and service their customers to the best of their abilities, which includes identifying ways technology can be beneficial in a defense sector setting.

With a longstanding track record of investing within the US federal services sector, Macquarie Capital acquired data systems and technology company ERT in May 2024.

Seeking to further diversify and expand its existing capabilities in the sector, while backing ERT’s continued growth and the expansion of its client base and capabilities, Macquarie Capital supported ERT’s acquisition of Sev1Tech in February 2026.

Sev1Tech is known for supporting US government organizations as they modernize legacy systems, enhance cyber resilience and accelerate digital adoption across complex enterprise environments.

The acquisition created a premier space-and-satellite-focused federal IT services firm with the capabilities, clearances and contract vehicles to lead the fast-growing corners of the US defense budget. The combined companies rebranded to Entarian in May 2026.
