Why our team isn’t public ?

Many of our operators and specialists are still active in defense roles, in military, intelligence, or government programs. For security and operational integrity, we don’t display real identities publicly.

Special Operations Veterans & Military Instructors. Operators with real-world experience in tactical environments and training under pressure.

AI & Robotics Specialists. Engineers who build and test cutting-edge systems for defense, autonomy, and mission-critical use.

Leadership & Resilience Experts. Strategic minds who shape founders, strengthen teams, and reinforce decision-making under stress.

Every mission gets the right operators, with the right specialization, for the job.

We are more than a company, we are a network.

What exactly is RedForge?

RedForge is a tactical network that pressure-tests startups, teams, and technology using real-world military logic, red teaming scenarios, and embedded operator expertise. We simulate failure before it happens — so you can build stronger.

Who is this for?

We work with defense startups, dual-use tech teams, investors, and government innovation units. Whether you’re launching a product or funding one, if it could break under pressure — RedForge is for you.

How is this different from a regular consultancy?

Consultants give advice.We simulate pressure.RedForge uses a mix of battlefield-tested operators, AI experts, and real-world scenarios to break assumptions, not just slide decks.

Why is your team anonymous?

Many of our operators are still active in military or intelligence roles. We protect their identity to maintain operational security but every member of our network is vetted, mission-ready, and field-proven.

What kind of results do you deliver?

You get detailed tactical reports, fragility scores, red flag risk matrices, and actionable feedback. You’ll know exactly how your product, team, or investment performs under stress and what needs to change to survive.

What does it cost?

We tailor every mission based on your product and needs.But we offer a free 30-minute strategy call to understand your situation, your risk points, and whether a red team mission makes sense for you.

Do you work with early-stage startups or only funded ones?

Both. We work with seed-stage builders who want to validate early, and with later-stage companies preparing for military/government demos, procurement, or scale. If you’re building something that needs to survive under pressure, we can help.

Built to Break You First. So Nothing Else Can.

Test it, before they trust it.
