A tower of guard for the builders of deterrence.
MinasTirith is an early-stage venture fund created by Will Schulz and Mihai Dinulescu, built on the belief that the free world's military advantage will be rebuilt by founders — and that capital should stand watch beside them.
The name is a promise: a fortified city that holds so that others may live free.
MinasTirith was created by Will Schulz and Mihai Dinulescu on a simple observation: the technologies that will decide the next conflict are being built in startups, while too much of the capital that understands defense is still parked with the primes. Someone has to bridge that gap with conviction and patience.
We invest from San Francisco, California, and we intend to stay on the wall with our founders through the long sales cycles that defense demands — the kind that outlast most funds' patience.

We concentrate rather than spray — three broad allocations, five theses, and reserves deep enough to lead every follow-on that deserves one.
