What Visto360.ai does

Visto360.ai is a privately held deep-technology company founded in January 2022 and headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The company has developed Sarify, described as the first foundational AI model purpose-built for reading and exploiting radar signal data. Unlike conventional radar processing pipelines that convert raw signals to images before analysis, Sarify processes radar data directly at the raw signal level using a pulse-by-pulse architecture, enabling real-time motion intelligence at the edge. The model targets over 95% detection probability with under 2% false alarm rate and sub-200ms latency, while fitting within the size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints of a single GPU or FPGA. Target applications span ground vehicles, maritime vessels, aircraft, and orbital systems.

The company's product portfolio centers on the Sarify foundational model, augmented by three professional service offerings: Sarify Customization (fine-tuning for customer-specific detection and classification requirements), Sarify Integration (deployment onto customer edge compute or ground-up low-SWaP compute design), and Sarify On-Prem (licensed deployment within customer infrastructure for IP and data control). Revenue mechanics combine licensing/royalty streams from the core model with professional services revenue. The go-to-market is consultative and enterprise-focused, with direct sales, customization, and on-prem deployment targeting defense agencies, autonomous systems developers, and commercial space operators.

Visto360's primary customer base is U.S. defense and government. The company was selected as one of nine vendors for the U.S. Space Force's Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator (SB-AMTI) program alongside tier-1 defense primes, and maintains a strategic partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit for capture strategy. The company has raised approximately $2.9M in disclosed funding and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees backed by founders who previously built a global radar satellite company. Technology partners include NVIDIA alongside an ecosystem of additional unnamed partners.

Core offering

Visto360 builds Sarify, a foundational AI model that reads and exploits raw radar signals directly at the edge to deliver real-time motion intelligence and target detection, bypassing the conventional image-conversion processing chain. The company sells Sarify through licensing of the model accompanied by professional services for customization, edge compute integration, and on-premises deployment, targeting defense agencies, autonomous systems developers, and commercial space operators.

Product overview

Visto360 offers a unified product platform centered on Sarify, the world's first foundational AI model purpose-built for radar signal exploitation. Sarify processes raw radar signals directly without converting to images, delivering real-time motion intelligence and target detection at the edge. The product portfolio consists of the core Sarify foundational model as the central platform, supplemented by three service offerings: Sarify Customization (fine-tuning the model for specific customer detection and classification needs), Sarify Integration (deploying the model onto customer edge compute architectures), and Sarify On-Prem (secure on-premises deployment with full customer control). The platform targets defense and commercial markets across space, drones, and autonomy applications.
