NuvoNexus operates on a pattern proven twice before — building deep-tech companies from invention through customer development to acquisition by major defense and materials primes. The same operating discipline now backs the current portfolio.
Active operating companies in defense materials, defense electronics, and industrial asset recovery. Four funded U.S. defense programs across MacroVation. Helicon Defense in formation. 125+ patents across the leadership team.
In motionFounded by David Sherrer in 2008. Spun out of Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials. Built PolyStrata 3D-microfabricated millimeter-wave components for U.S. defense and aerospace customers — a category- defining capability for high-frequency RF that ran from invention through DARPA Phase I–III execution to commercial production. Acquired by Cubic Corporation in 2019.
