Hypatia Project

What Hypatia Project does

Hypatia Project, LLC operates as the engineering skunkworks and government innovation arm of Hypatia Group, Inc., a privately held parent corporation headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The company prototypes, integrates, and scales products and platforms at the intersection of hardware, software, and biology, serving U.S. federal mission leaders, national laboratories, the defense industrial base, and Fortune 500 OEMs. Its work spans consortium blockchain protocols with drag-and-drop smart contracts, AI software factories implementing zero-trust protocols across security classification boundaries (notably the DoD Joint Artificial Intelligence Center's Joint Common Foundation), composable infrastructure with 100,000 square feet of configuration and deployment capacity, and rapid prototyping from SRP through MVP to POC. Hypatia holds prime contractor positions on multiple federal procurement vehicles and consortia including GSA Federal Supply Schedule IT 70, NASA SEWP V, NIH CIO-SP3, MTEC, C5, CEED, SCEC, SOSEC, and COBRA.

The company's product portfolio is organized around four composable IT pods (Multimedia Studio, Rapid Prototyping Testbed Environments, Configuration and Deployment Facility, and OEM Product Team) and includes the Hypatia Consortium Blockchain, the AI Product ATO Journey, and the Bento Biology decentralized clinical trial platform with its Bento Flare consumer mobile app. Bento Biology, spun out as a wholly-owned subsidiary in December 2021, applies the Bento DISCO governance protocol to enable patient-owned biological data and monetize contributions through tokenized microrewards, with initial focus on lupus and autoimmune diseases. A jointly controlled Bento Biology and Play2Learn partnership extends the platform into gamified genome education via the MetaHug Roblox World. Supporting services include STEM upskilling (paired coding, playbooks, virtual office hours), collaborative augmented reality for safety and training, and consulting across blockchain, cloud-native, AI algorithm families, and zero-trust cybersecurity.

Hypatia generates revenue through four streams: managed-services federal government contracting (prime contractor R&D and infrastructure delivery), hardware and product sales via GSA and NASA SEWP V procurement vehicles, professional services (on-demand science, engineering, and coding), and technology licensing of proprietary protocols. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence; product quotes are returned within 24 hours. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward federal buyers including the Department of Defense (JAIC, Air Force Research Lab, US Army ERDC), Department of Commerce (NTIS), Department of Health and Human Services (FDA Oncology Center of Excellence, CDC, NIH), and enterprise OEMs such as Dell Technologies. Beyond the U.S. market, the firm claims a global footprint supported by an eight-language multicultural team and membership in Bay Area venture investing groups (Life Science Angels, Band of Angels, Cleantech to Market).
