Office of Strategic Capital Analyst — Government Reviewer

**Investment Analyst at the Office of Strategic Capital (OSC)**, a relatively new office within the Department of Defense established in 2022 and fully operational since 2023. Based in the Pentagon, reporting to the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)). OSC exists to address a specific problem: critical technologies essential for national security are not attracting sufficient private capital because defense markets are perceived as too slow, too risky, and too small. OSC's mission is to use federal financial tools — loan guarantees, direct loans, and investment coordination — to mobilize private capital toward critical technology areas identified in the National Defense Industrial Strategy (NDIS) and the DoD Critical Technology Areas list.
