Obviant is building a data source of truth and AI tools for defense acquisition. The defense market is surging, but the data that drives it hasn’t kept up. Companies, government, and investors are forced to perform heavily manual processes and piecing together hundreds of disparate sources to make decisions. Obviant fuses information from thousands of sources – structured + unstructured – to provide a cohesive picture of budget, programs, the organizations running them, and much more. Whether it’s a company navigating GTM or a program manager developing capabilities, we’re providing all sides with the intelligence they need to execute effectively. We’re growing fast and backed by top funds and DoD/national security veterans. We believe that public sector mission sets matter above anything else. If you feel the same way, we’d love for you to join us.

Critical information and insights are all too often hidden in complex documents, causing costly mistakes and wasted time. Many organizations rely on AI for summaries to find information and even to generate documents and other content. This creates a whole another set of problems, including hallucinations, errors and missed details. AI tools have hallucination rates of 1...10 and up to 50%, making them unreliable where errors matter. At Intellean we combine use proprietary deterministic processes, a tiny bit of AI, cognitive science and visualization to deliver the most accurate outputs for users and workflows. We have a working product live: a visual node interface which highlights priority items, e.g. alerts, key points, etc., to give immediate situational clarity, drawing attention to what matters. And we have an end-to-end API setup to deliver accurate outputs to customers' workflows. Our solution delivers zero-hallucination solution, with verbatim original source extraction, perfect for organizations where "close enough" is unacceptable. Currently working on 2-3 pilots for healthcare use-cases. We're an experienced duo, both with 10+ years of experience in project management, product development, and many other areas. We've been working together since 2020.
