Why we Created Outrider
We’re a team of engineers and operators who’ve built hardware and software for 30+ years. Over the last decade working with the U.S. Navy and government, we’ve seen how procurement slows or sidelines mission-ready innovation—duplicate funding, long scouting cycles for tech that already exists, and great fits that never get funded.
Having worked with startups through prime contractors, we saw the same core gap: the right company and the right government need rarely find each other fast enough—costing months and millions.
We built Outrider to fix that. Our mission is to accelerate the development and adoption of innovative technologies that strengthen national security. We started by serving partner companies and government teams; the response was overwhelmingly positive—so we’re opening Outrider to everyone.
