Dear Stakeholders,
As 2025 comes to a close, I want to personally thank you for the trust, partnership, and belief you have placed in us. This has been a year of intense building, disciplined focus, and meaningful progress across our products, our team, and our impact on the market, all against the backdrop of a more volatile and fragmented global environment.
We end the year in a world marked by rising great-power rivalry, ongoing regional conflicts, and a weakening multilateral order, all of which increase operational, regulatory, and supply-chain risk for globally connected businesses. At the same time, the macroeconomic outlook into 2026 is one of modest but uneven growth, with “higher for longer” real rates and diverging regional paths rewarding capital-efficient models and clear routes to durable profitability.
Structural shifts are reshaping the playing field in very real ways for all of us: supply chains are being rewired through nearshoring and “friend-shoring,” trade is reorganizing into more regionally aligned blocs, and competition for critical inputs—compute, energy, data, and specialized talent—is intensifying. Physical climate risks, cyber threats, and information-integrity challenges (including deepfakes, AI-enabled manipulation, misinformation, and disinformation) have moved from theoretical concerns to day-to-day considerations that shape resilience, reputation, and trust.
History offers a useful lens for the weight of this moment. The interwar period between the First and Second World Wars combined massive geopolitical upheaval, economic dislocation, and social change with extraordinary advances in science and technology—from aviation and radio to early computing, quantum mechanics, modern macroeconomics, and nuclear-era technologies. Then, as now, institutions were tested, alliances were reconfigured, and new technologies reshaped how economies worked and how societies organized themselves, rewarding those who could harness innovation while navigating instability with prudence and foresight.
In that context, 2025 was a year where this team showed what it means to stay grounded and keep moving forward together. We sharpened our strategy and evolved from a solutions-as-a-service company to an AI-platform and insights-as-a-service focused company, delivering against ambitious roadmaps and executing in a rapidly changing AI, regulatory, and security landscape. We also leaned into this new macro environment—diversifying our market focus through acquisition of marketing capabilities and corporate assets, strengthening infrastructure and technology at scale, deepening channel and delivery partnerships, and building resiliency and risk awareness into how we design, deploy, and support our platforms.
Looking ahead, 2026 will demand even more clarity and courage from us. It will be about scaling what is working, exiting what is not, and staying absolutely clear about the problems we exist to solve for our customers and society in the context of elevated geopolitical risk, tighter financial conditions, and accelerating regulatory change. We will keep investing in differentiated technology, innovations in human-machine interaction, world-class talent, and long-term partnerships, while remaining disciplined stewards of your capital.
There is also genuine reason for excitement about what lies ahead. Artificial intelligence is moving from narrow tools to a foundational capability embedded in decision-making, operations, and scientific discovery, while quantum computing is progressing from theory and prototypes toward platforms that could ultimately transform cryptography, materials science, and complex optimization. Our work deliberately spans both frontiers and fundamentals: building practical AI and advanced analytics systems for today’s problems, while actively supporting long-term theoretical and applied research in complexity science, quantum information, AI, that will shape the next generation of capabilities.
Our focus is straightforward: to build systems that deliver tangible value for you at scale. Our conviction is simple: the companies that combine scalable technical differentiation with verifiable trustworthiness and resilience—and that stay close to the underlying science—will create the most enduring value. We intend to be one of the partners that helps you apply advanced analytics, maths, and AI to see more clearly, decide more confidently, and act more effectively in this environment.
To our customers and partners: thank you for building with us, for challenging our assumptions, and for trusting us with an increasing share of your most important work. To our employees: thank you for your ambition, your resilience, your creativity, and your willingness to do the hard, often unseen work that makes everything else possible—this company is defined by the standard you set for one another every day, especially when the external environment is uncertain and demanding. To our investors and broader stakeholders: thank you for your patience, your guidance, and your belief and shared vision in what this company can become over the next decade, not just the next quarter, as we manage risk with discipline and pursue growth with conviction in this new macro reality.
On a personal note, it is both an honor and a privilege to build companies with you at a moment when the stakes for technology, institutions, and society are so high. The team and I enter 2026 with humility about the challenges ahead and deep confidence in our ability to meet them together with you at the intersection of AI, quantum-era computing, and a reshaping global order, much like earlier eras when technological and scientific breakthroughs coincided with profound geopolitical change.
Wishing you and your families health, happiness, clarity, and positive momentum in 2026.
With appreciation,
Stephen DeAngelis
