The Software That Taught Investigators to See the Hidden Network
Before knowledge graphs became a boardroom phrase, i2 was helping detectives turn phone logs and witness statements into maps of who knew whom. Thirty-six years later, its most important feature is still the one no model can automate away: showing the analyst their work.
dMetrics
dMetrics is an AI company that builds Minsky, a natural-language-processing platform letting non-technical subject-matter experts create their own AI models to read, track, and analyze huge volumes of messy text - without writing code. Founded by two MIT machine-learning PhDs, the company started by decoding healthcare conversations across social media and now serves financial, pharmaceutical, and public-sector customers, including a five-year, $99.5M U.S. Department of Defense production contract for open-source threat analysis.
Christine Williams
Christine Williams is the co-founder and Co-CEO of Foxtrot Services, a women-led, Foundry-native Palantir partner based in Washington, D.C. A Palantir alumna with a background spanning intelligence analysis, national security, and enterprise consulting at firms like Accenture, Peraton Labs, and Victory Six Advisors, she co-leads a company that helps organizations move AI out of the lab and into governed, operator-trusted production. Under her and co-CEO Nicole Sanders, Foxtrot grew from two people to more than 60 employees, posted 9.1x year-over-year revenue growth while remaining bootstrapped and profitable, and closed a Series A in early 2026.
Primer.ai
Primer.ai builds mission-ready AI for defense, intelligence, and national security teams. Its platform turns oceans of unstructured text - news, documents, intercepts, social posts - into traceable, decision-ready intelligence, deployable in air-gapped and cloud environments.
DataWalk
DataWalk is a graph- and AI-enabled analysis and investigation platform that unifies disparate data sources so analysts at banks, insurers, and government agencies can spot hidden relationships, run no-code queries, and pursue fraud, money laundering, and threat investigations at scale.
Gabe Gotthard
Gabe Gotthard is the CEO of DataWalk Inc., a graph analytics and AI-powered investigation platform used by top U.S. and European banks, national security agencies, and defense organizations to detect fraud, money laundering, and organized crime. With over 33 years in enterprise IT - including a stint at 3ParData (acquired by HP for $2.5B) where he coined 'utility storage' - Gotthard now leads a Wrocław-born, Silicon Valley-validated company that has displaced Palantir at the U.S. Department of Justice and earned Ally Financial's 2023 Technology Disruptor Award. Based in Redwood City, California, he is building DataWalk into a leading global alternative to Palantir for government and financial-sector intelligence work.
