WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enlightenment Capital, an Aerospace, Defense, Government & Technology (ADG&T) investment firm based in the Washington, DC area, announced it has made a strategic investment in Quorum, the leading AI-powered government affairs platform used by more than 2,000 organizations, including over half of the Fortune 100 companies.
