About COVANT

CoVant is an investor group established by Joseph Kampf and other former senior executives of Anteon International Corporation.  This team grew Anteon from a $100 million company when acquired in 1996 to a $1.7 billion company when sold in 2006 to General Dynamics for $2.2 billion.  In 2008 CoVant completed its first acquisition post-Anteon, A-T Solutions, Inc.  (“ATS”).  ATS is a leading anti-terrorism company focused on enhancing the safety and security of our nation.  CoVant expanded ATS’s capabilities and customers by providing additional capital and advice to ATS to complete the acquisitions of Accelligence, LLC, Trancite Logic Systems and Innovative Technologies Systems, Inc.  In the first four years CoVant has owned ATS, it has grown from $34 million in trailing annual revenue to over $200 million in run-rate revenue.

CoVant was formed for the purpose of acquiring and growing companies in the federal technology solutions marketplace, and has teamed with Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC on behalf of its Fund VI entity (“MDP”) to pursue such acquisitions.
