# Smack Technologies Inc.

> Smack Technologies is a frontier AI lab for national security, founded in 2024 by two Marine Special Operations veterans, Andy Markoff and Clint Alanis. The company builds domain-specific AI models trained through deep reinforcement learning inside proprietary synthetic warfare environments. Its goal is what it calls 'Decision Dominance' - compressing the Orient and Decide phases of the military OODA loop from months to minutes. Two product suites carry the work: Omega, a command-level stack that turns commander intent into executable plans, and Alpha, an edge stack with lightweight models and proprietary hardware for tactical platforms operating in degraded, low-bandwidth conditions. Smack raised $32M in combined seed and Series A funding led by Geodesic Capital and Costanoa Ventures, and has secured seven-figure contracts with the Joint Fires Network and the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab.

- **Founded:** 2024
- **Headquarters:** El Segundo, California, United States
- **Founders:** Andy Markoff (Co-Founder & CEO (ex-MARSOC officer, former Palantir operations)), Clint Alanis (Co-Founder (20+ years Marine Special Operations))
- **Team size:** ~26 employees
- **Products:** Omega, Alpha, Synthetic Warfare Simulation
- **Notable:** Raised $32M in combined seed and Series A funding within roughly two years of founding (2024-2026)., Secured seven-figure contracts with the Joint Fires Network and Marine Corps Warfighting Lab., Built a proprietary synthetic warfare simulation environment generating millions of training engagements.

## Products & services

- **Omega** — Command-level AI stack that combines powerful domain-specific models with customer-specific applications (Fires, Logistics) to convert commander intent into executable plans in minutes, supporting strategic, operational, and tactical decisions across three horizons (1-12 months, 1-4 days, right now). Uses multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithms like MADDPG and proprietary knowledge graphs.
- **Alpha** — Edge-level AI stack featuring lightweight models and proprietary hardware for tactical platform decision support and autonomous system orchestration. Designed to keep functioning in degraded, low-bandwidth communications environments at the tactical edge.
- **Synthetic Warfare Simulation** — A proprietary physics-based simulation environment that generates millions of synthetic engagements to train multi-agent behavior through deep reinforcement learning, combining graph networks, diffusion models, and transformers for tactical inference.

## Achievements

- Raised $32M in combined seed and Series A funding within roughly two years of founding (2024-2026).
- Secured seven-figure contracts with the Joint Fires Network and Marine Corps Warfighting Lab.
- Built a proprietary synthetic warfare simulation environment generating millions of training engagements.
- Positioned as the first frontier AI lab focused specifically on national security.

## Latest updates

- **2026-03** — Announced $32M in combined seed and Series A funding led by Geodesic Capital and Costanoa Ventures to scale the Omega command-level stack and Alpha edge AI platform.
