Its leadership team combines expertise from major technology and defense organizations, including Palantir, Scale AI and Amazon, as well as the U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence community.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex my-20 justify-center w-full overflow-hidden fw-ad-id-470282\">\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/securepubads.g.doubleclick.net\/tag\/js\/gpt.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script>\n  window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []};\n  googletag.cmd.push(function() {\n    googletag.defineSlot('\/21776187881\/FW-Responsive-Main_Content-Slot1', [[300, 100], [320, 50], [728, 90], [468, 60]], 'div-gpt-ad-1709668545404-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads());\n    googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();\n    googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs();\n    googletag.enableServices();\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/21776187881\/FW-Responsive-Main_Content-Slot1 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1709668545404-0\" style=\"min-width: 300px; min-height: 50px;\">\n  <script>\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1709668545404-0'); });\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Gallatin AI intends to use the seed funding to accelerate its technology development and team expansion in its offices in Washington and El Segundo, California. Gallatin is looking for hires specifically in engineering and deployment-facing roles to scale its platform across military services.<\/p>\n<p>8VC officials said they have seen an expanding gap between commercial logistics innovation and military capabilities. Gallatin AI was incubated through 8VC\u2019s Build program, which has launched defense unicorns Epirus and Saronic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe partnered with Gallatin\u2019s team to close that gap, bringing commercial-grade AI and automation to the Department of Defense\u2019s most urgent logistics challenges,\u201d Alex Moore, partner and defense lead at 8VC, said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/gallatin-emerges-from-stealth-with-15m-seed-investment-to-transform-defense-logistics-302422537.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to 8VC, the seed round included participation from Silent Ventures, Moonshots Capital, Timeless Partners and Banter Capital.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex my-20 justify-center w-full overflow-hidden fw-ad-id-476434\">\n<p><script async src=\"\" https:><\/script><br \/>\n<script>\n  window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []};\n  googletag.cmd.push(function() {\n    googletag.defineSlot('\/21776187881\/fw-responsive-main_content-slot2', [[468, 60], [728, 90], [300, 100], [320, 50]], 'div-gpt-ad-1665767472470-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads());\n    googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();\n    googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs();\n    googletag.enableServices();\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/21776187881\/fw-responsive-main_content-slot2 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1665767472470-0\" style=\"min-width: 300px; min-height: 50px;\">\n  <script>\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1665767472470-0'); });\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Gallatin\u2019s flagship solution is Navigator, which focuses on accelerating resupply workflows through real-time data integration, AI-generated courses of action and simulation capabilities, aiming to enable military personnel to sustain operational advantages through predictive analytics and automated decision support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re targeting operational resupply \u2026 . [I]t\u2019s the daily calculation of food, fuel, water, batteries, medical supplies \u2026 . [I]f those supplies don\u2019t move from the operational distribution points to the tactical edge, our troops can\u2019t move. They can\u2019t stay ready and able to project force and deterrent capability wherever it\u2019s needed,\u201d Glier said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As they developed Navigator, Gallatin AI officials interviewed hundreds of retired military logisticians, who often discussed a concept referred to as the shadow inventory.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex my-20 justify-center w-full overflow-hidden fw-ad-id-470312\">\n<p><script>\n  window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []};\n  googletag.cmd.push(function() {\n    googletag.defineSlot('\/21776187881\/fw-responsive-main_content-slot3', [[728, 90], [468, 60], [320, 50], [300, 100]], 'div-gpt-ad-1665767553440-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads());\n    googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();\n    googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs();\n    googletag.enableServices();\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/21776187881\/fw-responsive-main_content-slot3 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1665767553440-0\" style=\"min-width: 300px; min-height: 50px;\">\n  <script>\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1665767553440-0'); });\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cSo logisticians, they\u2019re building their own algorithm. It could be that Alpha Company, they eat more food, and their standard food resupply is slightly higher. Another unit might go through more water, or they have more fuel generation needs,\u201d Glier said. \u201cSo Navigator is sort of taking that shadow inventory concept, trying to move it out of the logistician head. Give them full control over the decision that they end up making. But we can start building interesting algorithms and agents that start looking at more specific consumption patterns and then start seamlessly learning. With usage you start to generate useful insights and a much more fine tuned understanding of consumption and demand through the system.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\">\n<table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ddedfb\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Funding details<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Gallatin AI<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Amount <\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$15M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Funding round<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Seed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Lead investor<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>8VC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Secondary investors<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Silent Ventures, Moonshots Capital, Timeless Partners and Banter Capital<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Goal for round<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Accelerate technology development and team expansion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gallatin AI\u2019s seed investment round details.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclosure: 8VC is an investor in SONAR.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freightwaves.com\/news\/gallatin-ai-raises-15m-in-seed-funding-to-advance-military-logistics\">Gallatin AI raises $15M in seed funding to advance military logistics<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freightwaves.com\/\">FreightWaves<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Noi Mahoney<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightwaves.com\/news\/gallatin-ai-raises-15m-in-seed-funding-to-advance-military-logistics\">Go to freight waves<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gallatin AI raises $15M in seed funding to advance military logistics Gallatin AI emerged from stealth mode on Tuesday and announced it has secured $15 million in a pre-seed funding round led by venture capital firm 8VC.
