Enlightenment Capital, the government market investment firm, has partnered with data management and professional services firm Artlin Consulting to help that company through its next phase of growth.
Terms of Enlightenment’s investment in Artlin were not disclosed, but the backing was made through the former’s fund dedicated to the Small Business Investment Company program.
SBIC is managed by the Small Business Administration, which gives some investors venture funds to back small businesses in the form of agency-supported loans. The SBA approved Enlightenment’s participation in the SBIC program in June 2019.
Founded in 2011, Artlin provides data-related and other advisory services to defense and civilian agencies. One of its main clients is the Defense Department’s Washington Headquarters Services office, which is responsible for helping other DOD components handle administrative and management responsibilities.
