About us

Onebrief makes military planning seamless and represents a shift in paradigm for future military decisions. It is an all-in-one tool that supports both the creative and process-oriented aspects of military planning. In Onebrief, planners use maps, boards, diagrams, timelines, slides and written products to create their plans—all while sharing a common database. Everything stays in sync, in real time. Our approach has been refined and validated through hundreds of user experiments.

Our product is currently in broad use at 8 of the largest military headquarters in the world. 3 of the 4 biggest operational plans in the US are currently built with Onebrief. Last year, we achieved 100% gross retention and 158% net retention—our revenue grew 4x and reached double-digit millions. We are backed by Y Combinator (S21) and top-tier VCs, including Caffeinated Capital (Affirm, Docker, Notion, and more) and Human Capital (Anduril, Brex, Snowflake, and more), and have raised a total of $53M in venture capital. Our elite team combines the best of tech and military talent, including education and experience at Google, Twitter, Adobe, MIT, Harvard, Special Operations, TOPGUN, and more.
