AI Solutions for U.S. Government & Defense

Boost productivity, efficiency, and decision-making. Deploy at scale, in any environment.

The End of Vendor Lock-In

The tools you’re offered weren’t built for you. They were built to lock you in. To make you dependent. To keep your data and your future in someone else’s hands. We believe American AI should be owned by the American people. Not a handful of vendors.

OpenTeams exists to make you the owner.

This is your path to genuine AI ownership.

You Own the Code

Our tools are open source. Inspect every line. Audit every detail. No black boxes. The system is yours, completely

You Own the Data

Your data is yours. We build the systems that let you use it, on your terms. It never leaves your control.

You Own the Talent

We build capacity. We train and mentor your team to run, extend, and innovate on their own. Our goal is to empower your people.

How We Work

Co-Design with Government Stakeholders: We begin by listening to your priorities.
Build with Local Input: Our team integrates your engineers and policy experts. Full transparency.

Case Studies

Built by the Man

Who Built the Foundation

Modern data science and AI runs on Python. The foundational libraries that make it possible—NumPy and SciPy—were created by our founder, Travis Oliphant.

Now, he’s building something new: OpenTeams.

AI you can inspect. Trust. Own.

"They are leaders in their field of AI, machine learning, and reinforcement learning, and take pride in their work. Their vast knowledge paired with their responsiveness and dedication made working with them a smart choice and pleasurable experience."

OpenTeams’ Leadership

Travis Oliphant

Travis laid the foundation for data science and machine learning by authoring NumPy and SciPy, founding Anaconda, and making ongoing contributions to the Python community. He quite literally built the backbone for machine learning. If you meet someone more committed to open source, we’d like to meet them!

Joe Merrill

Joe started his career leading global teams in the US State Department. Has lived and worked on four continents. Led teams in Fortune 50 companies, VC funds, and start-ups. He's a huge believer in the power of us.
