Tesseract Ventures

What Tesseract Ventures does

Tesseract Ventures, LLC is a private American invention company founded in 2018 by John Boucard and headquartered in the Kansas City metropolitan area (Overland Park, KS), with a secondary defense studio in Tampa, FL. The company designs and engineers integrated command and control systems that combine edge hardware, data integration software, and visualization platforms to deliver real-time operational intelligence across military, agriculture, and construction sectors. Its core technology stack consists of three proprietary layers: PRISM (USA-designed sensors and robotics for edge data collection including access control, personnel tracking, UAV-based sensors, environmental monitoring, and asset/vehicle tracking), MOSAIC (a data integration engine that normalizes disparate data formats, secures storage with encryption, manages data flow, and enables interoperability with third-party systems), and ECHO (a visualization tool that converts integrated data into actionable digital-twin interfaces). On top of this stack, Tesseract has productized multiple sub-brands and modules including NODE access control hubs, the Synthesis agriculture platform, Smart Space command centers, PRISM Vision Badge and L1T/L2T/L3T wearables, RTLS anchors, TNet field sensors, an Ag Drone, the Alert Route Lighting System, Prism Anchors, Mosaic Atmos smart-building platform, and a Law Firm Command Center.

The company monetizes through a mix of hardware sales, subscription/recurring services, and government R&D contracts. Primary customer segments are U.S. military branches (Air Force via AFWERX, Space Force, USSOCOM), construction enterprises (e.g., JE Dunn for data center builds), and agriculture cooperatives (e.g., Landus). It sells through a direct enterprise field-sales motion with "Book a Demo" CTAs and secures government work through SBIR/STTR programs, including two disclosed $1.25 million SBIR Phase II awards (Air Force in August 2022, Space Force in April 2023). The go-to-market is geographically concentrated in the Midwest and Southeast United States, with content marketing, CEO thought leadership, LinkedIn, earned media, and industry events supporting demand generation. Leadership includes Founder/CEO John Boucard, COO Dave Starr, CFO Drew White, Chief Administration Officer and Government Lead Helena Boucard, Head of Innovation Jason Harrell, and Director of Software Development Chris Sartain.

Revenue model

1. Government R&D Contracts: Tesseract generates significant revenue through SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) Phase II contracts with U.S. military branches including the U.S. Air Force (via AFWERX) and U.S. Space Force. These contracts fund development of advanced technologies including smart space systems, wearables, and security hubs at military installations.
2. Construction Technology Solutions: Sale and deployment of PRISM security solutions, NODE access control systems, and workforce management platforms to construction companies. Solutions include secure hardware, workforce badging, access tracking, and real-time reporting for job site management.
3. Agricultural Technology Platform: Tesseract Synthesis platform providing precision agriculture solutions to farmers and agricultural cooperatives. Integrates data from multiple equipment brands, farm-specific data, and third-party sources for operational insights.
