Background

Altana was founded in Brooklyn in 2018 by Evan Smith, Swartz, and Tehranian. The company's founding thesis was that no authoritative, dynamic map of the global supply chain existed, and that AI could construct one from fragmented trade, logistics, and corporate data.

Its core product is Atlas, a continuously updated AI knowledge graph of supply-chain relationships worldwide.

Layered on top is the Value Chain Management System, a workflow platform that lets users run supplier screening, forced-labor and sanctions compliance, tariff-exposure modeling, and supply-shock scenario analysis against the Atlas graph. Meta has publicly cited Altana's use of Llama models within its value-chain management layer.

Altana sells to both government agencies and large enterprises across North America, Europe, and Asia.

The company employed roughly 240 people as of the most recent public estimate, operating from its Brooklyn headquarters with enterprise and government accounts spanning logistics, manufacturing, life sciences, and defense sectors.

Financial footing

$200M Series C at $1B+ val
$10M CBP contract
Backers: US Innovative Technology Fund, GV, Activate Capital

Altana raised a $7 million seed round, followed by a $15 million Series A, then a $100 million Series B. Its Series C closed at $200 million, bringing total capital raised to approximately $340 million as of early 2026 reporting. The Series C established a valuation of approximately $1 billion.

Lead investors across rounds have included GV, Activate Capital, OMERS Ventures, Amadeus Capital Partners, Schematic Ventures, and the US Innovative Technology Fund. The company remains private. No revenue figures or contract backlog totals have been publicly disclosed. The US Innovative Technology Fund's participation signals deliberate cultivation of a dual-use investor base aligned with government procurement.

Major customers & contracts

U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded Altana a contract — publicly reported at $10 million — to deploy Atlas for trade-flow screening and forced-labor enforcement at the border. The U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security are named public customers, with Altana providing supply-chain illumination of the defense industrial base, specifically to identify foreign-owned or foreign-controlled links in critical-technology supply chains, a use case enumerated by the Defense Innovation Unit.

U.S. Space Force is also a confirmed customer. On the commercial side, Maersk, UPS, BMW, Merck, Boston Scientific, and L.L. Bean are named users of the Atlas and Value Chain Management System platforms. The UK Department of Business and Trade has also been cited as a customer in published profiles.

Competitive position

Altana competes primarily against Resilinc, riskmethods (acquired by Sphera), Everstream Analytics, and o9 Solutions in the supply-chain visibility and risk-intelligence segment. Against Resilinc, Altana's edge is the breadth and AI-native construction of its knowledge graph versus Resilinc's event-monitoring and supplier-survey model; Altana's weakness is less mature alert-notification infrastructure. Against Everstream, Altana has stronger government and defense penetration but a less established logistics-sector brand.

Against riskmethods/Sphera, Altana offers a more dynamic, continuously re-inferred graph rather than a static supplier-registry approach, though Sphera's EHS integration gives it stickier enterprise deployment. Against o9, Altana is narrower in planning functionality but deeper in trade-compliance and forced-labor screening. The broader market is consolidating around a handful of graph-based platforms; Altana's government contracts and DIU endorsement differentiate it in the national-security segment where most commercial competitors have little footprint.
