Tesseract Ventures
"Inventing Tomorrow, Today"
Kansas-based defense-tech firm behind PRISM/MOSAIC/ECHO systems, selected by DIU for the Pentagon's CADDS drone-delivery program.
Tesseract Ventures is a privately held American technology company based in Lenexa, Kansas, that designs integrated command-and-control (C2) hardware and software systems for defense, agriculture, and construction customers. Founded and led by CEO John Boucard, who brings more than 20 years of experience in robotics, defense, and enterprise software, the company positions itself as a bridge between raw field data and operational decision-making. Its leadership team includes Helena Boucard as Chief Administration Officer and government lead, Drew White as CFO, Chris Sartain directing software development, and Jason Harrell heading innovation and R&D.
The company's product line is built around three named platforms. PRISM is a hardware suite of edge devices, robotics, and sensors used to capture real-time data on site, for example perimeter monitoring, workforce badge tracking, and safety-training verification on construction jobsites. MOSAIC is the data-synthesis layer that ingests information from PRISM devices plus third-party sources such as equipment telemetry, field sensors, and satellite imagery into a unified dataset. ECHO is the visualization layer, presenting this synthesized data as dynamic, real-time displays intended to support command-post and operations-center decision-making.
In the defense sector, Tesseract Ventures builds command-and-control visualization tools used for airbase, spaceport, and special-operations environments, and according to industry reporting the company was selected by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to participate in the Pentagon's CADDS program, a prototype effort focused on autonomous drone delivery. The company has previously received multiple funding rounds structured primarily as government grants, including awards through the Air Force's AFWERX program, reflecting a focus on dual-use technology aimed at military customers. Outside of defense, the company applies the same PRISM/MOSAIC/ECHO stack to agriculture, integrating field sensors, farm-equipment data streams and satellite imagery into one operating picture for growers, and to construction, where its PRISM-based security package covers site perimeter defense, workforce badge management and safety-training compliance tracking.
Tesseract Ventures operates as a small, specialized team; third-party business data lists the company in the 11-50 employee range. It markets its systems on a demo-and-deploy basis, with prospective customers booking product demonstrations through its website rather than purchasing off a public price list, consistent with a company selling into project-based government and enterprise contracts rather than commodity products.
The company's stated mission is to develop custom integrated command and control systems that enhance operational decision-making across its three target industries, and its website emphasizes human-machine collaboration, using automated data capture and visualization to keep human operators in the decision loop. No public information was found on ISO or other third-party certifications, exact founding date, or detailed technical specifications of the PRISM sensor hardware; these would require confirmation through direct contact with the company or its government program partners.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
