FORGE6 is building the operating layer for Americas small-business defense industrial base.
Thousands of independent manufacturers could supply the Department of Defense but never do. The barriers are not capability. They are registration, compliance, cybersecurity, quoting, and simply knowing where the work is. Forge6s platform removes those barriers, helping small shops qualify as suppliers, find and win defense work, and connect to prime and program demand. More capacity in, more resilience out.
We also put our own capital to work. FORGE6 acquires and operates defense-adjacent manufacturers facing succession or growth constraints, bringing modern tooling, operational discipline, and direct defense customer access. Veteran-led and SDVOSB-certified, we run these businesses the way the mission requires.
Founded by Thom Kenney, serial entrepreneur who has delivered over $2B in shareholder value through multiple exits, former USSOCOM chief data officer former member of the Defense Science Boards GenAI Task Force, and Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel.
If you run a manufacturing business and want a path into defense work, or you are an owner thinking about what comes next, lets talk.
Specialties: Supplier enablement software, defense manufacturing, DIB resilience, small business acquisition, SDVOSB, DoD supply chain
