NEW YORK, NY & RESTON, VA – Weds., Nov. 12, 2025 – Veritas Capital (“Veritas”), a leading investor at the intersection of technology and government, today announced that affiliates of The Veritas Capital Vantage Fund, L.P. (“Vantage Fund”) have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MetroStar Systems, LLC (the “Company”), an AI-enabled digital transformation services and software provider serving the U.S. Defense and National Security communities.

Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, MetroStar has spent nearly three decades accelerating mission outcomes across Defense and National Security. The Company combines deep domain expertise with advanced AI-enabled solutions that deliver time-to-value at mission speed, empowering agencies to deploy technology faster, make decisions smarter, and achieve impact sooner.

“MetroStar was founded on the belief that the best way to serve the mission is to challenge the status quo,” said Ali Reza Manouchehri, Co-founder and CEO of MetroStar. “Being a disruptor is in our DNA. Together with Veritas, we’re building the new model for how services, solutions, and software must be delivered for America to win the AI race. This partnership will allow us to scale faster, invest deeper in innovation, and empower our federal partners to accelerate their missions with greater speed, trust, and intelligence.”

“MetroStar has distinguished itself as a fast-growing and highly respected partner to U.S. government agencies at the forefront of national security, defense, and modernization,” said Hugh Evans, a Managing Partner of Veritas. “We are excited to partner with Ali and the entire MetroStar team as they continue to scale the business, deepen customer impact, and ensure its agency partners are well-equipped to harness the full potential of emerging technologies. Backed by the Vantage platform, where MetroStar will serve as one of the fund’s platform companies, we look forward to investing in talent, innovation, and capabilities to position MetroStar for sustained long-term success.”
