Seekr and OneValley Partner to Empower Startups and SMBs with Explainable, Defensible AI.

Seekr and OneValley Partner to Empower Startups and SMBs with Explainable, Defensible AI. Jul 28, 2026, 09:00 ET Same scrutiny as the Fortune 500. Same regulators. Same standards. A fraction of the budget. A fraction of the team. Now, the same AI. RESTON, Va., July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Seekr, the leader in explainable, defensible AI, today announced a strategic partnership with a global innovation platform supporting 10,000+ founders, startups, and small businesses. Under the agreement, OneValley will serve as a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) and managed services partner for Seekr's AI platform, making enterprise-grade AI accessible to the companies that need it most and can least afford to get it wrong. We are entering a time when only explainable and trusted AI will be given access to critical systems, data and operations. Current regulations like the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) disclosure requirements look exactly the same for a publicly disclosed 20-person fintech as it does to a Fortune 500 bank - both must answer to the same regulators. And what meets requirements today, might not tomorrow as they try to keep pace with the latest threats shaped by AI innovations, shifting state AI mandates, ongoing federal preemption debates, and changing sector guidance. The reality is, most 20-person companies do not have the dedicated legal resources to track these changes. While large enterprises can dedicate fully staffed engineering teams and sizable compliance budgets to AI deployment, startups and small businesses usually can't. This puts smaller-sized businesses in the worst position - forcing them to choose between the risk of opaque, off-the-shelf models, the cost of building their own, or the tools needed to ensure safe AI deployment. Seekr and OneValley's partnership removes those barriers and equals the playing field for all companies looking to deploy trusted AI, no matter the size. By combining Seekr's explainable AI platform - including a no-code environment with a library of pre-built, industry-tailored AI solutions - with OneValley's global distribution and implementation capabilities, the two companies are giving startups and SMBs AI that is: * Explainable and defensible by design: Every output - and every autonomous action made through an AI agent on the company's behalf - can be traced from data to decision, with the explanations needed to meet the requirements of regulators, auditors, and customers. * Deployable and easily integrated into any and every environment: Seekr's Cloud, the customer's cloud, on-prem, or at the edge. * Valuable immediately: Pre-built solutions and managed onboarding compress months of build-and-integration work into weeks. * Economically sustainable: Qualified startup pricing and discounted credits help keep AI costs in check from day one, allowing founders to focus on building rather than constantly optimizing token usage - a growing obsession some call "tokenmaxxing." OneValley brings the implementation layer: onboarding, integration, training, and ongoing support delivered through its network of accelerators, incubators, founder communities, innovation centers, and small business networks. Startups and SMBs can adopt explainable, cost-effective AI without building an AI stack from scratch. The partnership is designed to support companies dealing with highly sensitive data, such as financial services, government, supply chain, and other highly regulated industries, with plans to expand in the future. This first set of sectors faces the highest costs and consequences from unexplainable AI decisions. And as these companies move from utilizing AI as just an assistant to autonomous AI that takes action - approving, filing, and transacting - that cost only climbs along with the risk of tokenmaxxing or breakaway AI spending. "A 20-person fintech selling into a Fortune 500 bank inherits that bank's compliance requirements, including everything from vendor risk reviews to model documentation, and even audit rights," said Nikhil Sinha, CEO of OneValley. "But, they lack the resources to sufficiently and consistently meet those standards. Partnering with OneValley and Seekr creates equitable access to defensible, explainable AI directly into founders' hands, no matter their size, ensuring the next generation of regulated-industry companies can compete without compromising on the standards their customers demand." "Explainability isn't a feature we bolted on to win enterprise and government contracts. It's the architecture Seekr was built on, and it's what makes AI defensible in any environment where the cost of being wrong is real," said Rob Clark, President of Seekr. "Through OneValley, that architecture is now in reach for the founders and operators who'll define the next wave of critical industries. The rules they have to follow are the same ones the Fortune 500 follows. The AI we're giving them is built for it."

Seekr's technology and products help enterprises and government agencies deploy domain-specific large language models (LLMs), vision language models (VLMs) that understand the physical world, and AI agents trained on their own data - across any infrastructure, including sovereign deployments.

Anderson Merchandisers deploys Seekr AI across 4,000+ associates to tackle $1.73T US retail inventory gap

Anderson Merchandisers, the leading US in-store retail services provider, has selected Seekr as its enterprise AI partner. The partnership will deploy Seekr's explainable AI and Vision Language Models to Anderson's 4,000-plus associates working across US retail locations. The technology aims to transform store visits into real-time intelligence sources for consumer packaged goods brands. Associates will use AI to identify and correct merchandising issues immediately, with every visit becoming an auditable record. Out-of-stocks cost the global retail industry approximately $1.2 trillion annually. Research shows 72% of out-of-stocks stem from in-store ordering and replenishment practices rather than supply chain failures. The AI-powered system will help associates spot planogram deviations and hidden out-of-stocks, enabling immediate corrective action. Anderson expects significant improvements in merchandise quality resolution across more than 40,000 retail locations it serves.

Seekr achieves CMMC Level 2 certification for trusted AI deployment, setting the standard for operational AI in government.

Seekr achieves CMMC Level 2 certification for trusted AI deployment, setting the standard for operational AI in government. PR Newswire Certification Authorizes Seekr to Handle Controlled Unclassified Information for the Department of War, Validating Its Explainable AI Platform for Mission-Critical Environments RESTON, Va., July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - As national security agencies accelerate the deployment of operational AI, Seekr today announced it has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 with a perfect score, validated by an independent Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) across all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls and 320 assessment objectives. CMMC Level 2 is the Department of War's standard for any contractor that handles Controlled Unclassified Information - the sensitive, unclassified data that runs through most defense work, from technical specifications and contract details to personnel and program records. Starting November 10, 2026, third-party certification by a C3PAO becomes the default requirement for new contracts involving CUI, replacing the self-assessments previously accepted. According to the May 2026 Cyber AB Town Hall, only 1,391 organizations have achieved Final Level 2 certification through an independent C3PAO assessment - which represents fewer than 2% of the approximately 80,000 defense contractors the Department of War estimates will need it. Seekr is among that small group, and one of the few explainable, auditable AI companies in it, certified six months ahead of the November 10, 2026 mandate. The certification arrives at an inflection point. As federal agencies move AI from pilot to production across defense and intelligence missions, the question is no longer which models are most capable - it's which AI companies can be trusted to operate inside the contracts, classifications, and consequences those missions carry. Trustworthiness in operational AI is increasingly measured the same way the government measures it everywhere else: through independent audit. "In defense and intelligence, the question isn't whether the AI is powerful - it's whether the model, agents, and company behind it is accountable and transparent," said Seekr President, Rob Clark. "CMMC Level 2 certification, with a perfect score, is independent confirmation that Seekr meets the standard the mission requires. We hold our technology to that same standard: explainable AI that lets the operators and analysts making consequential decisions verify the answer, not just hope it's right" Speed without accountability isn't mission readiness. Seekr delivers both on one platform - built on customer data, fully owned and fully controlled, with the governance and explainability operational AI in national security requires. Seekr was built to help highly regulated industries trace every decision from data to outcome, across cloud, on-premise, air-gapped, or tactical edge environments. With SeekrFlow every outcome is explainable, and customers move from concept to prototype in days, and from prototype to production in weeks. The work ahead is bigger than any single certification. As defense and intelligence agencies move from AI experimentation to operational deployment, the platforms that earn a place in the mission will be the ones built to be questioned, audited, and held accountable. Seekr is built for that standard - and now certified to it.
