What Percepta does

Percepta is an AI transformation company that embeds directly within enterprises in healthcare, government, finance, and supply chain to architect and operate AI-native workflows. Rather than selling point software, Percepta deploys multidisciplinary teams of engineers, researchers, and domain experts on-site (for example, 'shadowing nurses and doctors' in Ohio hospitals) to automate clinical workflows, modernize permitting and benefits processing for state agencies, transform middle- and back-office functions at financial institutions, and solve resource allocation problems for multinational supply chains. Named engagements include the State of Maryland (with Anthropic), Cityblock Health, Janus Henderson Investors, an unnamed Fortune 500 financial services client cited at $17M in annual savings, and a multinational supply chain network.

The company's core technology is a set of 'superhuman decision systems' that combine foundation models, reinforcement learning, optimization, and operations research. The research team has built an LLM-Computer architecture that executes WebAssembly programs inside transformer weights, supported by a custom domain-specific language called CALM (Code for Append-only Lookup Machines) and a HullKVCache that reduces attention complexity from O(n) to O(log n), enabling >31,000 tokens/sec on standard CPUs and ~200x efficiency gains over traditional KV caches. Percepta's AI capabilities span autonomous voice and agentic workflows, process automation, predictive analytics, optimization, and knowledge retrieval; the foundation model layer is delivered through Anthropic's Claude, with AWS as a founding infrastructure partner.

Percepta is a wholly-owned 'General Catalyst Transformation Company,' launched in October 2025, with headquarters in New York's Soho, an engineering and research office steps from Harvard Square in Cambridge, and a London office announced for April 2026 as part of a European expansion. Revenue appears to derive from custom enterprise services engagements with potential to layer recurring platform/agent revenue over time; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with undisclosed capitalization, no external fundraising rounds (capital flows through General Catalyst), and faces an unresolved trade-secrets lawsuit filed by Palantir against three of its founders.

Direct peers

• Palantir Technologies: Palantir is the most direct competitor to Percepta, embedding AI/decision systems inside enterprises and government agencies. It is the named plaintiff in the trade-secret lawsuit against Percepta's founders and has long dominated the AI-for-government niche Percepta is now pursuing.
• Hebbia: Hebbia is an AI decision-support platform for finance and professional services firms, founded by former Palantir engineers. It overlaps with Percepta's financial-services back-office and knowledge-worker automation use cases and recruits from a similar talent pool.
• Scale AI: Scale AI provides AI engineering, data, and evaluation services to enterprises and governments, including defense work. It is the closest pure-play peer to Percepta's AI/ML engineering services model and shares several alumni with Percepta.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture Federal Services: Accenture Federal Services delivers large-scale AI and digital transformation to US federal and state agencies, directly competing with Percepta's government vertical. It is a much larger incumbent with established security clearances and contract vehicles.
• Deloitte AI & Engineering Practice: Deloitte's AI engineering practice offers enterprise AI transformation, including healthcare and financial services deployments, and competes with Percepta for large transformation engagements as part of a much broader consulting portfolio.
• Bain & Company: Bain is a global management consultancy that has built dedicated AI and transformation capabilities for Fortune 500 clients. Its working-style and mission-driven positioning mirror Percepta's approach in critical industries.
• BCG (Boston Consulting Group): BCG operates the BCG X and QuantumBlack AI engineering units that embed with enterprises on AI transformation, serving many of the same Fortune 500 healthcare and finance buyers that Percepta targets.

Emerging players

• Slalom: Slalom is a mid-sized consultancy that has built strong AI engineering capabilities around AWS, Anthropic, and other hyperscaler partners. It overlaps with Percepta on regional enterprise transformation and cloud-based AI delivery.

Others

• Anthropic: Anthropic is both Percepta's flagship technology partner and an adjacent provider of Claude-based enterprise AI solutions. It is an ecosystem enabler whose evolving product roadmap shapes Percepta's go-to-market surface area.

Regional players

• Anduril Industries: Anduril is a US-based defense and critical-infrastructure AI company that, like Percepta, builds deeply embedded AI systems for government and industrial buyers. It is comparable on customer profile and mission orientation rather than product overlap.
