We’re proud to announce that Seekr has been named one of CB Insights’ Top 50 Early-Stage Defense Tech Startups. The recognition reflects CB Insights’ data-driven evaluation of company strength, market traction, and long-term potential—and this award affirms Seekr’s mission to deliver trustworthy, accurate, and transparent commercial AI designed for national security and defense.

CB Insights highlighted Seekr’s momentum in delivering secure, transparent, and governance-aligned AI, giving defense agencies meaningful decision advantage. They also highlighted the company’s growth trajectory; in 2025 alone Seekr completed an institutional fundraise backed by AMD Ventures and Danu Venture Group at a $1.2B premoney valuation, bolstering government-focused R&D. Since its inception, the company has secured 32 granted and pending patents spanning search, NLP, and AI explainability.

From day one, Seekr’s vision has been to build AI engineered for regulated industries and mission-critical environments, with trust at the core. This focus has led us to invest early in a specialized federal sales organization and governance-driven AI workflows designed for real defense and intelligence missions.

Key milestones from the past 18 months include:

Hardening our SeekrFlow™ AI platform for Department of War (DOW) use
Contract awards across the Navy, Army, SOCOM, and the Intelligence Community
CDAO Tradewinds preapproval and availability to the DOW
Launches on AWS GovCloud and Oracle Cloud
Multiple prime contracts and SBIR wins
New partnerships with IMPRES Technologies, PCI Government Services, ORI, Carahsoft, and others
Secure AI delivery at the tactical edge in DDIL environments

Some examples of Seekr’s defense-focused solutions include SeekrGuard, a new AI evaluation and certification product designed to help organizations stay ahead of national security and governance risks in frontier models, and SeekrIntel, an investigation co-pilot designed to help investigators uncover threat intelligence, trace and connect entities, and detect patterns of life to dismantle criminal and terrorist networks.

Thank you to our team and partners for helping Seekr accelerate innovation and strengthen mission outcomes across defense and national security.
