Many investors focus on surface-level opportunities, chasing trends while overlooking the foundational infrastructure that enables real value. Tressco Capital looks beyond the trend lines—prioritizing the core assets that power defense, artificial intelligence, and national security sectors.
Our strength is facilitating investor access to critical sites engineered and operated by leading independent developer groups with specialized expertise. Through our network, investors benefit from deep relationships spanning nuclear technology, advanced AI, and strategic infrastructure—connecting capital with solutions only available to those with direct market access.
What sets us apart from typical investment facilitators is our unique blend of operational expertise. Led by our General Partner, Mike Tressler, whose background in military intelligence and global real estate gives him the ability to make connections, build relationships and open doors that others simply cannot. This insider perspective enables us to identify resilient, future-proof infrastructure opportunities and facilitate investor access to mission-critical sites.
