What We Do
Obviant is a software-enabled marketplace to make it easier for companies to sell to government. We're building data and AI tools to bring access and transparency to an opaque industry, with the government as the stakeholder that ultimately benefits. Selling to government has always been hard, and it’s historically stopped companies from even thinking about this market. But things are changing. A surge of technology companies are rising to the occasion and building products to solve the domestic challenges and national security threats we’re facing today. It’s our job to help them be successful, and we’ve raised from an incredible group of investors + have heavy-hitting national security veterans and technology industry advisors behind us to do it.
Why Work With Us
We're a small founding team, and you'd be getting in on the ground floor. You'd get to work with other builders who are passionate about their work, and in an environment where we have a lot of fun working together. The energy of the stage we're at is electric. And we're using AI to tackle extremely hard data problems in a market with high impact
