Were redefining how America competes. Our products are used today by friendly forces around the world to shape adversary behavior, expose malign influence, and detect illicit activity. We started in 2019 with a belief that the public servants who put themselves in harm’s way deserve better technology. The defense status quo wasn’t cutting it, so we built a team that obsesses over real-world mission impact. We iterate fast, deploy forward, and build with end users in mind. Since then, we’ve grown from $3M to $80M in revenue, stayed profitable, and scaled to 200+ people, while raising just $12M. We value ownership, transparency, and teamwork. We build like our work matters, because it does. And we’re building a company where the best operators in the country come together to win, grow, and do the best work of their careers. We’re expanding our edge across cyber, economic warfare, and next-gen sensing. If you want to help America win before and beyond the battlefield, we want you.
