Vannevar Labs

Vannevar Labs builds open-source-intelligence tools that collect and analyze foreign social media, messaging, and web data the government struggles to reach — reportedly terabytes across 80 languages and 180 countries — surfacing it for defense and intelligence targeting via its LLM-powered 'Decrypt' platform. It won a Defense Innovation Unit production contract worth up to $99 million in 2024, and also markets tools to detect and counter foreign influence operations. Founded by a former In-Q-Tel investor and backed by General Catalyst.
