About Accrete AI

Accrete AI develops decision analytics platforms that process massive information flows to identify patterns and predict outcomes. Their technology began in the commercial music industry, helping record labels identify viral talent from millions of social media posts. This same capability now serves government customers for information operations, supply chain risk assessment, and cognitive warfare applications. The company recently secured a $15M strategic financing agreement from the Air Force.
