About
Governments and policymakers make decisions that shape millions of lives, but they still operate with slow research cycles, fragmented evidence, and expensive consultant reports that often arrive only after programs have launched. We believe AI can help public institutions make better decisions: faster, more evidence-based, more responsive, and more accountable to the people they serve.
Our platform helps public institutions synthesize evidence, simulate how policy choices may affect people, budgets, and outcomes before rollout, monitor real-world results, and continuously improve decisions over time.
We closed a $5.7M seed round earlier this year, led by Relentless, with participation from a16z speedrun, Liquid 2, Operator Collective, Entourage, Station F, Plug and Play and others. We are now scaling across the US and Europe and hiring founding team members to help build a new category at the intersection of AI, simulation, public policy, and institutional decision-making.
