Our Origin: A Strategic Union of Proven Experts

ADI was born from the convergence of two powerhouse organizations with decades of complementary expertise:

• 1st Choice Financial Group (1stCHOICEFG), founded in 2006, brings unparalleled experience in governmental, military, and defense sectors. With proven capabilities in providing goods and services to domestic and international entities, 1stCHOICEFG has built extensive partnerships in security and surveillance, risk mitigation, advanced communications, cyber security, drone technology, geospatial tracking, biometric systems, border security, supply chain logistics, and crisis management. This deep domain knowledge in defense strategy, tactical operations, and high-stakes programmatic delivery ensures our investments align precisely with mission-critical requirements and national security priorities.
• Power On Enterprise excels in business transformation and financial optimization. As a premier expert in capital restructuring, operational efficiency, and growth acceleration, Power On Enterprise has guided companies through complex challenges—analyzing and redesigning capital structures to lower costs, leveraging AI and technology to streamline operations, securing expansion capital, facilitating mergers and acquisitions, and enabling swift asset strategies when needed. Their track record in turning financial pressures into opportunities for sustainable innovation and productivity gains forms the backbone of ADI’s approach to unlocking value in portfolio companies.

By uniting these strengths, the founders and teams behind ADI create a unique fund: one that combines intimate understanding of the defense ecosystem with sophisticated financial and operational engineering. We are not traditional investors—we are strategic partners who identify capable defense manufacturers facing scale, efficiency, or cost barriers, then provide the capital, AI integration expertise, and process overhaul needed to propel them forward.

Our Mission: Changing the Defense Industry

In an era of rising geopolitical demands, constrained budgets, and rapid technological evolution, the defense industrial base must become more agile, cost-effective, and innovative. ADI invests exclusively in companies with quality products and defense contracts that are primed for transformation—using AI for predictive maintenance, automated manufacturing, smarter design, and supply chain optimization to slash costs, accelerate delivery, and enhance performance without compromising reliability or security.

Our goal is clear: to strengthen America’s defense capabilities by enabling portfolio companies to deliver higher-value solutions to prime contractors at lower overall expense, fostering a more resilient and efficient industrial base ready for future challenges.

With the combined expertise of 1st Choice Financial Group and Power On Enterprise, Absolute Defense Innovations is positioned to drive meaningful change—turning promising defense innovators into industry leaders and delivering resilient, high-conviction returns for our investors.
