An American team building the substrate American AI needs.
Veteran-owned. Substance over signal. Built to be checked, not trusted.
The American Dynamism case for ground truth.
The next decade of AI infrastructure should not concentrate in a small number of cloud data centers controlled by a small number of companies whose interests are not American interests. The compute that powers mission-critical workloads should sit on American hardware, behind American perimeters, owned and operated by American organizations.
We built Citrate to be the substrate that makes that possible. Not the model layer ... that is someone else's job. Not the application layer ... that is our partners' work. The substrate. The verifiable ledger underneath. The audit registry that makes claims provable. The federated learning daemon that lets institutions train together without sharing data.
We shipped 121+ formal verifications, 25 deployed contracts, and 6,720+ automated tests with the discipline of a much larger team. The methodology is documented and reproducible. We will scale it the same way.
Five people. A long bench of conviction.
Two founders, three co-founders. Architects, operators, business builders, and veterans whose discipline shows up in the code and in the rooms.
Driven to bring data on-premise and give control and privacy back to the institutions that produce it. Larry leads architecture and product surface across the substrate.
Deep contacts and operational knowledge across oil & gas, aerospace, and technology. Lauren is a thought leader in whatever industry he studies, and the person who connects the people who need to be talking.
Pushes our team daily to come together and get things done. Dan's deep military experience brings technology and industry insight that keeps us above and beyond compliant ... and ships software that survives scrutiny.
Go-to-market strategist and financial-analysis lead. Taurien gives our team, partners, and customers the contract clarity and financial framing they need to move forward with confidence.
Carries the network's promise into the rooms it has to land in. James leads growth and sales with a veteran's discipline ... what we say has to match what we ship, every time.
Owned and operated by Mozi Satori.
Citrate is built and run as a program of Mozi Satori ... a modern think tank focused on American infrastructure and the institutions that depend on it.

We invented some of this.
The patent posture is reserved by Mozi Satori. Defensive in shape, not litigious.
Specific filings cover consensus innovations, the AI-native execution surface, verifiable compute primitives, and embedded-node architecture. Detailed patent inquiries are routed through counsel.
