A113 Defense Intelligence Platform

The business development engine behind the A113 Ventures portfolio.

What It Is

The A113 Defense Intelligence Platform is an LLM-native intelligence engine that turns the federal funding landscape into actionable business development insight. It continuously ingests defense appropriations data, federal solicitations, contract awards, and program-element budgets — then connects them into a single graph that shows where the money is, who already wins it, and where a company's technology fits.

Built and operated by A113 Ventures, the platform serves the firm's portfolio companies as a shared intelligence layer while powering A113's own deal sourcing and portfolio co-positioning.

What We've Built

One connected picture of the federal market.

The platform brings together data sources that BD teams normally chase across a dozen government websites, and makes them queryable as one connected picture.

Appropriations Intelligence

Every NDAA Program Element, its funding, the projects funded within it, and which are congressional adds — surfaced for the programs a company's technology aligns to.

Solicitation & Award Tracking

Federal opportunities and historical contract awards, scored and matched against each company's capabilities.

Competitive & Partnership Mapping

Who already competes for a given program, who the natural customers and primes are, and the concrete next steps to pursue each relationship.

Funding-Direction Signals

Automated reading of budget-justification narratives to flag which programs are growing, declining, or at risk.

Multi-Tenant by Design

Strict data isolation per company, co-branded reporting, and a cross-portfolio view that lets A113 position its companies together.

Why It Matters

Defense business development usually means manually combing through budget documents, federal postings, and award histories — slow work that rewards whoever has the most time, not the best technology. The platform compresses that work from weeks to minutes.

For a portfolio company, that means knowing — early and with evidence — which programs to pursue, which primes to approach, and which opportunities are worth the proposal effort. For A113, it means sourcing deals and co-positioning the portfolio from a single, continuously-updated view of the federal market.

Built for Defense Innovators

The platform has been demonstrated to congressional staff, defense primes, and research partners, and is in active use across the A113 Ventures portfolio. It is designed for technology companies operating in the defense and national-security market — particularly those pursuing SBIR/STTR funding, program-of-record alignment, and prime-contractor partnerships.
