Nuvento

What Nuvento does

Nuvento is an Australian AI and data consultancy headquartered in Canberra, founded in 2019 and operating as a privately held proprietary limited company (Nuvento Pty Ltd). The company primarily serves Australian federal and state government agencies — including ATO, Services Australia, Defence, ASD, ACIC, ACSC, ASIC, and Home Affairs — alongside regulated enterprise clients, delivering data warehousing, cloud data services, big data analytics, data governance, AI/ML strategy and implementation, digital strategy, and application development. Its most differentiated positioning is a proven track record delivering data projects within PROTECTED, SECRET, and TOP SECRET government environments, supported by multi-cloud delivery certifications across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform.

The company's product portfolio comprises four proprietary offerings: Cortex Orchestrator (a neural RAG router that reduces AI inference cost by 60-90% with sub-5ms latency, deployable on own GPUs or against cloud LLMs such as Anthropic Claude, vLLM, or Ollama), RAVEN Intelligence Platform (a data-to-decision intelligence platform), Comply FOI (described as the world's first Freedom-of-Information platform for automated FOI request management), and Lemoncello.ai (an SEO and Generative Engine Optimization tool). Core technology integrations span Cloudera, Quantexa, Confluent, Oracle, and OpenSI, with an embedded AI Safety & Governance Framework covering need-to-know access controls, real-time anomaly detection, and human oversight for high-risk AI agent actions.

Nuvento monetises through two revenue streams: AI and data consultancy services delivered via government procurement panels (BuyICT DTA across five panels, IPICTA, BuyNSW, plus state tender portals in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS, NT, and ACT) and direct SME Exemption 17 engagements up to A$500,000; plus subscription/SaaS revenue from its proprietary AI products. The company is founder-controlled (David Hohnke, CEO; David Sheard, CTO), with no disclosed external institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company ownership.
