webAI

webAI is an Austin-based sovereign AI company that lets enterprises build, train, and run custom AI models on their own local hardware instead of the cloud. Founded in 2019 by David Stout, Ethan Baird, and Tyler Mauer, its end-to-end platform - spanning the Navigator development environment, the Companion assistant, and webFrame clustering software for Apple silicon - keeps sensitive data on-device while delivering cloud-grade intelligence. The company reached a reported $2.5 billion valuation in early 2026 and serves customers across healthcare, retail, logistics, and aviation.
