Our take
As intelligence analysts work to solve rapidly evolving and increasingly challenging national security problems, modern technology is vital in achieving optimal results as there is no room for failure. Vannevar Labs’ innovative foreign text platform, delivers solutions to some of today’s most important national security problems.
The company’s workflow platform Decrypt, uses machine learning and automation to understand, target, and respond to foreign actors in ways not previously possible. The platform is a proven success, driving Vannevar’s growth and attracting a $40M OTA contract with the Department of Defense.
Yielding impressive traction so far, the company is using its latest Series B funding round to invest in new product development. Vannevar Labs is also aiming to win its first multi-year program from Decrypt. Should it be successful, the level of guaranteed sales and revenue would be a turning point in the company’s long-term trajectory.
