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's 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 funding round to accelerate strategic initiatives and expand the scope of its technology. This comes after a period of rapid growth and sustained profitability, all suggesting a fruitful future for the company long-term.
