Built by alumni from Palantir, Lockheed Martin, and leading AI companies, Pryzm is backed by Tier 1 investors including a16z, and is trusted by organizations across the national security and federal technology ecosystem. Our mission is simple: deliver the best capabilities to the missions that matter most.
