Bridger Aerospace started with four veterans in a barn in Montana. Our next mission became using battlefield technology to serve Americans at home.
It was risky. We had zero business experience, but we had grit, our military experience, and supportive family, friends, and fellow veterans. We certainly made mistakes — find me a small business that hasn’t. But we pushed forward, and the results for Montana speak for themselves.
Over nine years, our veteran management team built a business ecosystem that created hundreds of new Montana jobs, generated over half a billion dollars in value, constructed over $60 million in Montana facilities, generated over $400 million of revenue for Montana, and performed life-saving services for American wildland firefighters, warfighters, and communities.

The story of Bridger and Ascent Vision Technologies, the businesses built by our management team of veterans, is a Montana success story, and we’re proud of it.
Successful, veteran-led businesses should be celebrated. Right? Well, not according to Sen. Jon Tester and his allies.
Jon Tester thinks businesses creating jobs is “the problem.” And his liberal media conspirators, most notably the Washington Post and NBC “News,” have worked to create a false narrative to attack Bridger’s hardworking people, smear the reputations of our veteran founders, and label us a “failed business.”
