What believers are saying

- Bain's $150 million 2025 investment and reported $100 million ARR fund hiring.

- Palantir and Anduril already dominate defense AI, squeezing Air's category-creation story.
What makes Govini unique
- June 2026 rebrand to Air frames Govini as an Enterprise Readiness platform.
- Air manages over $140 billion in programs, including Patriot, F-35, and B-52.
- The 2026 Navy Ark SaaS sole-source extension locks in mission-critical supplier-risk workflows.
