Ultra, For All Mankind
We counter threats from emerging technologies, with technology.
Ultra is a for-profit company building software and hardware systems to counter catastrophic risks.
ScrollCatastrophic risks can be anticipated, mitigated, and often prevented.
A 'catastrophe' is an event that results in millions of deaths, loss of a free society, or severe impairment of the progress of civilization.
Emerging technologies are creating new risks at the fastest pace in human history, and Ultra is building the defensive technology to counter them. We believe the United States and free societies around the world can move faster than these threats — while preserving liberty and individual privacy.

Ultra is building across multiple product areas — focused first on space security and software for emergency operations.
Space & Nuclear Security
Space and nuclear security are entering their largest transformation since the dawn of the space age. Ultra is building a new system to provide situational awareness of the entire Earth-Moon system — empowering the U.S. and its partners to characterize threats without legacy, billion-dollar approaches.
We're pursuing fast, affordable prototypes that can scale and redeploy as the space and nuclear security environment evolves.
Societal Resilience
Ultra is building end-to-end systems that turn overwhelming data into new knowledge, recommended actions, captured decisions, and distributed response — so experts move faster when crises demand it.
Our work is presently private. We welcome questions from potential partners and people who want to help.
The Team
Ultra's co-founders come from national security and deep tech backgrounds in software and joint software–hardware systems design.
