- Michael Clauser: Founder & Managing Director
Ark is a boutique government affairs and public policy strategy firm headquartered in Washington, DC.
We were founded in 2024 to provide early and growth-stage technology companies and nonprofits with fractional US & global government affairs with the feel, expertise, and intimacy of an in-house function at a compelling price point. We
specialize in helping organizations with a relationship to the government as its customer, regulator, or competitor.
Ark possesses the in-house expertise to execute across North America, EMEA, and APAC verticals, and across foundational, critical, and emerging dual-use technology including SaaS, cybersecurity, digital identity, AI, semiconductors, robotics and autonomous systems, space, maritime, next-generation telecommunications, and advanced manufacturing.
Just as the Ark was built before the flood, our name reflects our founding conviction that the time to build a government affairs capability is before the need turns existential.
