About Striveworks

Striveworks specializes in artificial intelligence and machine learning operations (MLOps) for the national security, defense, and other highly regulated sectors. Founded in 2018 by CEO Dr. Jim Rebesco, Anthony Manganiello, and Dr. Eric Korman, the Austin-based company aims to simplify the deployment and management of AI models in complex, real-world environments. The founding team combines decades of shared experience from high-speed financial trading with expertise in data science and neuroscience to address challenges in operational AI.

The company's core offering is the Chariot platform, an MLOps solution designed to help organizations build, deploy, monitor, and govern AI models at scale. Chariot is engineered to function in demanding settings, including austere and disconnected environments where speed and reliability are mission-critical. Its key features include the ability to track the full lineage of data and models for auditability, a low-code interface to make analytics more accessible, and robust role-based access controls suited for Department of Defense (DoD) requirements. The platform is optimized for unstructured data, such as computer vision and natural language processing, and is used for applications like geospatial intelligence and predictive maintenance.

Striveworks operates on a B2B and B2G (Business-to-Government) model, providing its Chariot platform to Fortune 500 companies and public sector organizations. Its clients are primarily in national security, logistics, cybersecurity, and finance. The company has established itself as a key U.S. government partner, with deployments across numerous agencies, including a role in the Army's flagship AI initiatives alongside Microsoft and Palantir. Striveworks has been recognized as a Deloitte Technology Fast 500 company and was highlighted as an exemplar in the 2020 National Security Commission for AI Final Report.
