Overview
ASI, formerly Air Space Intelligence, is a Boston-based AI company building forecasting and orchestration systems for critical infrastructure and national security. It announced a $325M Series C led by Spark Capital on October 20, 2026, at a $3B valuation.
Why ASI is interesting
ASI applies predictive models to physical systems where outages, delays, and planning errors are costly. Its $3B valuation is supported by unusually large announced government programs, but contract ceilings are not the same as recognized revenue and mission-critical deployment raises execution and reliability risk.
Product & use cases
ASI develops world models and decision systems that simulate physical operations hours, days, or weeks ahead. Customers use the software to anticipate congestion, disruptions, and operational constraints across aviation, power grids, logistics, and defense.
- Air-traffic and airline operations planning.
- Electric-grid forecasting and storm-response planning.
- Military command, control, and logistics modeling.
Key facts
- $325M Series C announced at a $3B valuation.
- Spark Capital led, with five other named investor groups participating.
- ASI cites an $875M FAA program and a $99M U.S. Army contract; contract values and ceilings should not be treated as current revenue.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Combines simulation, operational data, and predictive optimization for high-consequence physical systems rather than general-purpose text generation.
ASI competes with legacy defense and aviation contractors, industrial optimization vendors, internal operations teams, and platforms such as Palantir. Its moat depends on deployment reliability, data access, renewal economics, and converting large program awards into profitable recurring revenue.
