Aurex, a platform backed by Godspeed Capital Management LP, has acquired Alpha 2 Inc., a Virginia-based firm that provides cryptographic engineering, cybersecurity and engineering services to U.S. space, defense and intelligence community customers.
Aurex CEO Warren Kohm said the addition of Alpha 2’s experienced team and specialized capabilities strengthens the company’s ability to deliver trusted secure communications and cryptographic engineering services.
“As threats to our nation become more sophisticated, mission assurance depends on technologies that are resilient, agile, and purpose-built for the most sensitive national security environments,” he added. “Alpha 2 strengthens our platform and positions Aurex to more broadly support critical space missions with even greater depth and capabilities.”
Founded in 2013 and based in Chantilly, Virginia, Alpha 2 delivers mission-focused cryptographic engineering, cybersecurity and engineering services supporting U.S. national security space systems.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Alpha 2 team to the Aurex platform,” added Cam Terry, partner at Godspeed Capital. “The company’s highly differentiated expertise directly complements Aurex’s mission-critical focus and commitment to addressing and solving critical challenges for our space and national security customers. Together, we look forward to accelerating investment across the platform and supporting Alpha 2 as it enters an exciting new phase of growth.”
The acquisition expands Aurex’s capabilities in hypersonics, missile defense, prototyping, cryptography and cybersecurity while extending its reach into the classified intelligence community and strengthening its support for U.S. government agencies operating in complex national security environments.
“Alpha 2 was built to deliver highly specialized cryptographic engineering services to support the nation’s most critical space missions,” said Jason Nizialek, founder of Alpha 2. “Partnering with Aurex and Godspeed Capital provides our team with the scale, resources, and strategic alignment to accelerate our growth while continuing to meet the evolving needs of our key customers.”
