Booz Allen Ventures’ Investment in ConductorAI to Enable Accelerated Federal Modernization

Booz Allen Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Booz Allen Hamilton, has made an investment in ConductorAI, which offers federal government agencies an artificial intelligence-driven platform for accelerating their modernization initiatives while relying on legacy systems.

The ConductorAI platform uses large language models and agentic AI to automate repetitive or routine tasks, including foreign disclosure reviews, compliance tasks, citizen services and operational planning; deliver faster, more efficient services and outcomes; and accelerate decision-making, Booz Allen said Tuesday, noting that the product enhances, rather than replaces, human judgment.

AI Platform Built to Cut Red Tape

According to Shands Pickett, senior vice president of defense technology and strategy at Booz Allen, ConductorAI eliminates the need for agencies to wait on full system upgrades or migrations before harnessing the power of AI, allowing them to advance innovation in mission-critical environments within the Department of Defense.

Commenting on the investment, Zachary Long, CEO of ConductorAI, said the partnership with Booz Allen will improve his company’s ability to deliver AI-driven solutions “that cut through the red tape, streamline complex workflows, and support the people driving critical government missions.”

“We built ConductorAI to solve the hardest problem in government: how to navigate bureaucracy quickly and reliably, to get licenses, permits, and approvals required for successful mission outcomes,” he added.

Supporting Technology Startups 

ConductorAI marks the 15th Booz Allen Ventures investment. Other technology-focused early-stage companies that received capital from Booz Allen were Albedo, Credo AI, HiddenLayer, Hidden Level, Latent AI, Quindar, RAIC Labs, Reality Defender, Reveal Technology, Scout AI, Second Front, SEEQC, Shift5 and Starfish Space.
