Expedition Technology lands backing from Enlightenment, Razor's Edge

Expedition Technology, a developer of signals and geospatial intelligence software tools for national security operators, has landed new backing from the investment firms Enlightenment Capital and Razor’s Edge.

Founded in 2013, Expedition designs its products to use artificial intelligence and machine learning functions in helping agencies acquire information and act on it for military operations.

With this new investment announced Tuesday, Expedition will push to further expand the availability of its toolset for defense and intelligence agencies and undertake other growth initiatives. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The company also specializes in the suite of technologies commonly called C5ISR — command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

“Razor’s Edge and Enlightenment Capital each bring unique capabilities to the table, from strategic scaling to deep technology roots in the national security space,” Expedition’s chief executive Marc Harlacher said in a release.

Razor’s Edge is an investor in other government technology companies such as Altamira, Blacksea, HawkEye 360, Ursa, Veros Technologies and X-Bow Systems. Razor’s Edge was also a backer of BlackSignal Technologies, which Parsons Corp. acquired in the summer of 2024 for $200 million.

Enlightenment’s portfolio in the market includes companies such as Agile Defense, Auria, Cryptic Vector, Ridgeline International and RealmOne. Enlightnment’s most recent high-profile exit involved the $440 million sale of EverWatch to Booz Allen Hamilton in October 2022.

Baird and DLA Piper LLP advised Expedition Technology. Cooley LLP was legal counsel to Razor’s Edge and Enlightenment Capital.
