Veritas Capital has announced that affiliates of The Veritas Capital Vantage Fund, L.P. (“Vantage Fund”) have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Steampunk, Inc., a change agent in the federal contracting industry and a Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC) member. Following the close of the transaction, Veritas will merge Steampunk with existing portfolio company MetroStar Systems, LLC. The merger will bring together two companies built on the same commitment: providing warfighters, intelligence professionals, defense civilians, public servants, and the United States government with innovative tools to work faster, smarter, and safer.
“The combination of MetroStar and Steampunk will create a powerful force multiplier for delivering mission-critical solutions at scale,” said Hugh Evans, Managing Partner, Veritas. “Together, the companies will provide agency partners with AI-enabled solutions to move with agility, meet mission demands faster, and harness cutting-edge technology that drives mission impact. This is a combination that will set a new standard for what our nation’s warfighters, intelligence professionals, federal civilians, and homeland security leaders should expect from an industry partner.”
The combined company will benefit from complementary offerings of both organizations. MetroStar’s deep AI and digital transformation product expertise will be strengthened by Steampunk’s user-centered delivery model approach, Design Intelligence®, pairing culture and capability in a way we believe few competitors can match.
“MetroStar has built something rare: real technical strength paired with a culture that actually backs it up,” said Matt Warren, CEO, Steampunk. “With our shared action-oriented mentality, drive to achieve transformative outcomes, and track record of putting people, employees, clients, and the communities they serve at the heart of our businesses, combining forces will mean more capability for our clients and more opportunity for our people.”
“This transaction represents a milestone for both MetroStar and Steampunk, which has created market differentiation powered by Design Intelligence®, innovation, and a dynamic culture,” said Ali Reza Manouchehri, Co-Founder and CEO, MetroStar. “Together, we can move missions faster, operate at a greater scale, and deliver even bigger outcomes for our customers and their missions. The road ahead is full of possibility, and I could not be more excited about what we will build together.”
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Financial terms were not disclosed.
