Honored to support such an incredible initiative!
Acting Secretary of the Army@SecArmy · Aug 28Our drone marketplace continues to grow, with Mexico the latest country to sign on to participate. These partnerships will expand access to unmanned aircraft systems and help get capabilities to our forces faster. By learning from one another and working together, we can accelerate innovation.

I’m honored to announce @thekaizenlabs $15m contract with the @DeptOfWar to build, power, and operate the new c-UAS Marketplace. This is a foundational win for our team, and marks our fifth Federal partnership in less than six months. More to come on that later :).
Our team designed, built, and deployed the platform from a blank slate in 9 weeks. The marketplace stack is based on two Kaizen products: Taproot, our library of compliance-engineered building blocks for public institutions, and Blacksmith, our AI harness that allows us to rapidly configure these modules for any mission-critical use case.
We started Kaizen to modernize the broken, disconnected application layer systems across our Country's most critical institutions, and I'm so proud of our team for executing brilliantly against this national security priority.
Importantly, I'm grateful for the vision of JIATF-401, Secretary Driscoll, and the @USArmy for placing such emphasis on speed, quality, and security.

Honored to share that Kaizen has been awarded a $15 million contract by the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration to design, build, and operate the digital platform powering the American AI Exports and AI Consortia programs, federal initiatives to help U.S. companies export full-stack AI technology to allies and partners around the world. AIexports.gov went live this week during the National AI Center ground-breaking in San Francisco.
Beginning April 1, 2026 and for 90 days, industry-led consortia may submit proposals for full-
stack AI export packages, including AI optimized computer hardware, data center storage,
models, cybersecurity measures, and applications for various sectors.
Kaizen was founded to re-build government's digital front door, replacing outdated systems with modern technology built for citizens, businesses, and the public servants who represent them. We're excited to expand our reach to Federal agencies, and will have a lot more to share soon!

Our work at Kaizen was featured in a PBS interview (~10 minute mark) with the CIO of San Antonio - we designed a platform and a roadmap for the 7th largest city in the Country to use technology to improve public services and quality of life! Feeling so grateful that thousands of residents have already started interacting on the platform!

As someone who is trying to build better reservation systems for municipalities, this kind of use of such technologies is immoral and wrong. @WillManidis which beaches if you can share?
Will Manidis@WillManidis · Jul 23, 2022during the pandemic, MA allowed many of its beachs to move to timed reservation systems to prevent crowding.
3 years later, these reservation systems are still in place. this currently means paying $75 to a city official to get anywhere near the ocean.

I’m horrible with texting but really good at e-mail and burning down to inbox zero / following up. Are people the other way around? I think it’s because email is a focused activity for me and text is personally more passive and distracting

Happy birthday to my brother and role model @amitku. A brilliant investor, mentor, and human being. He helps and leads with his heart, and I’d be a fraction of what I am without him. Here’s to when he rented out an entire theater and let me bring 7 extra people to watch Batman.

Cross generational friendships are crucial. Caught up with my manager from my first internship 6 years ago - we traded work advice and talked new endeavors, mental health, and philosophy. A vulnerable reminder to maintain long friendships with people in different stages of life.
