Clark Street has secured over $3.5 billion in non-dilutive funding for our clients. In each case, this funding is tailored to maximize the impact on corporate valuation of our clients, by paying for projects the company intended to spend their own money to do anyway.

We helped our clients navigate the first Trump presidency, delivering hundreds of millions in federal grants for advanced technology development, demonstration and manufacturing.
The second Trump Administration will be characterized by markedly different government investment priorities. While President Trump may be reshaping the landscape of federal spending, these changes will also unlock substantial new opportunities. CSA strategically aligns its client’s initiatives with the Administration’s top priorities, ensuring they capture maximum funding.

Rare earth elements and other critical minerals are essential for technologies like semiconductors, aerospace, and defense. During his first term, President Trump declared the U.S.’s reliance on foreign entities for critical minerals a national crisis, enabling new funding to be directed towards strengthening domestic supply chains. President Trump has already stated he will prioritize this issue during his second term. CSA helps critical minerals companies take advantage of these new funding opportunities.
Efficient energy sources and grid resiliency are critical to both national security and the U.S. economy. Energy demand will soon exceed what current sources can supply, opening opportunities for innovative alternative power sources. President Trump will significantly increase funding to develop and deploy new energy technologies such as modular nuclear reactors, fusion energy, and new uses of fossil fuels to enable the power delivery capabilities required for future advancements.
With increasing geopolitical tensions and the growing commercialization of space, the second Trump Administration will be marked by increased spending in national defense and aerospace. Dual-use technologies—or innovations that benefit both the defense and commercial sectors— are particularly attractive government investments, as they bolster national security while spurring economic growth. CSA leverages deep expertise in this sector to help its clients navigate valuable funding opportunities and partnerships.
Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are driving transformative advancements in areas such as manufacturing and agriculture. These technologies are central to government funding priorities, as they offer scalable solutions to labor shortfalls while enabling the U.S. to strengthen both domestic manufacturing and food security. By integrating AI-driven automation and advanced robotics, industries can achieve unprecedented efficiency and resilience. CSA helps clients secure nondilutive funding to develop, demonstrate and deploy robotics and AI systems in both commercial and federal markets
We work with ambitious leaders who want to define the future, not hide from it. Together, we achieve extraordinary outcomes.
