Announcing our latest investment: NightDragon has backed @armada_ai — the company bringing AI compute to the places it's never been able to reach.
Today, more than 75% of the world's data is generated at the edge. Yet most of it still travels thousands of miles back to a centralized data center before becoming useful intelligence. Armada solves this by acting as the hyperscaler for the edge, with ruggedized, full-stack AI data centers built for the edge.

Tariffs. Wars. Geopolitical flashpoints.
The forces reshaping the global economy aren't slowing down and neither is the pressure on your supply chain.
Organizations can no longer afford blind spots. Complete visibility isn't a nice-to-have. It's a survival requirement.
That's exactly why we built 𝘪Q.
𝘪Q is interos.ai's second-generation predictive supply chain risk intelligence platform and the first to connect your ERP data directly to our Resilience platform to quantify exposure in dollars and surface AI-driven recommendations before disruption hits.
→ 𝘪tariffs: See exactly which suppliers are exposed and what it costs you — across Tier 1, 2, 3 and beyond
→ 𝘪tracing: Product-level visibility mapped to your bill of materials, down to the component
→ 𝘪reputation: Real-time monitoring for financial distress, foreign influence, regulatory risk, corporate behavior and operational performance
The geopolitical landscape is a forcing function.
iQ is how you get ahead of it.
