The company started when Ian Kalin and Matt Amacker met as employees at The General Partnership, a Venture Capital firm where the anchor Limited Partner is Reid Hoffman.
Ian, is a Navy veteran and GovTech entrepreneur whose public service includes being the first Chief Data Officer for the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Matt, is a rapid prototyping pioneer that held numerous leadership roles at tech giants like Amazon, Google and the Toyota Research Institute.
They discovered a shared passion for modernizing our nation's defense and intelligence tools, which was falling behind industry standards.
"I first started working on Soldier of the Future systems 20 years ago."
“As a recently retired Army Senior Intel Officer for a Special Mission Unit, I understand the capability gaps of today's warfighters. I'm still working to make sure our nation deploys with the most actionable intelligence."
"We're trying to bridge the gap between the antiquated AI tech the government is using today and the more valuable kinds of products I built at Tech companies like Google and Amazon."
“I wish I had this technology when I served in the Navy.”
Here are some old vignettes that led our Team to be so passionate about the the work we do today:
