Vannevar is a defense technology company building AI to deter our adversaries. In the 21st century, conflict moves at algorithmic speed and foresight equals firepower. Our agentic AI is purpose-built to compete with China—from cross-Strait conflict to gray zone coercion. Trained on the most mission-relevant datasets in defense, our technology models adversary behavior, simulates campaigns, and recommends the best course of action to decision makers. Our AI systems are some of the most trusted in the industry and actively used on the front lines of the Indo-Pacific to keep the peace and save lives.
Exceptional technology starts with exceptional people. Vannevar is a small agile team combining world-class engineers with veteran strategists who bring deep expertise in defense and tradecraft. We’re building a company defined by mission impact, user empathy, and disciplined growth. In just three years, we grew from $3M to $80M in ARR, achieved early profitability, and reached unicorn status—proving that disruption doesn’t require an ego, and staying power doesn’t mean standing still.
Vannevar has expanded its capability stack from perception management and information operations to targeting, geospatial, sensing, and economic warfare platforms, with missions ranging from interagency counternarcotics efforts to conventional force posturing in the Pacific.
The missions we work on and the associated actors pose real security threats, but they often have some cyber surface area. We see an opportunity to better support these missions by building more technology in cyber.
We are looking for a self-driven, mission-motivated expert to lead a cross-functional team of engineers and strategists, laying the foundation for Vannevar’s newest business unit.
