Throughout history, advantage has never been defined solely by superior technology, but by the quality of people and the tactics they employ. As technology evolves at lightning speed, training failures cost jobs, resources, and lives. Ethos was founded to tackle this urgent challenge head-on.
Ineffective training results in costly operational failures and preventable incidents that intensive investigations consistently trace back to inadequate preparation.The perhaps counterintuitive reason these problems will intensify is that our technological systems are developing at a faster rate than our human systems. Every day new mismatches in mission readiness emerge as technology outpaces people. As warfighting demands begin to change at the pace of software and AI, systemic readiness gaps widen when human training doesn't keep up.
Ethos bridges this critical gap between technological advancement and human capability. We're a human readiness platform that helps teams stay mission-ready in a world where technology changes faster than training. Unlike traditional training that focuses on checking boxes, Ethos connects real mission needs to individual capabilities in real-time.
Our platform converts legacy training materials into secure, engaging, and interactive mobile lessons tailored to specific job roles and each individual. Advanced algorithms deliver targeted learning interventions, optimizing training at the individual level to close readiness gaps in real time. By integrating performance data, our platform identifies and addresses skill gaps before they manifest as operational failures.
Founded in 2019, Ethos has raised $34 million to date from leading Silicon Valley venture capital investors and maintains Secret Facility Security Clearance. Our team includes members from IBM, Microsoft, Dataminr, McKinsey, and all branches of the U.S. military. We are an SBIR Phase III contract awardee with a proven track record of delivering dual-use commercial technology that serves both defense and civilian applications.
The result? Faster proficiency development, lower training costs, and teams that are genuinely prepared for what matters. In environments where seconds count and failures cost lives, we're ensuring your people are as ready as the technology they command.
