ExistX

ExistX is a technology-enabled services company that specializes in transforming advanced research into operational, field-ready software and digital solutions. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, the company was spun out of Galois, a specialist in advanced computing and secure systems. ExistX's mission is to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application, helping R&D firms overcome the 'technology transition valley of death' by turning innovative findings into scalable and reliable tools.

The company received an investment from private growth equity firm Hale Capital Partners in a private equity round on December 31, 2024. This funding is intended to expand ExistX's network of research partners and grow its business development team. The firm operates as an applied engineering firm, providing services such as software development, system integration, and consulting. Its business model focuses on delivering dual-use digital offerings that serve national security interests, among other specialized commercial applications.

ExistX's core service areas include cyber resilience and data transport, secure communications and data privacy, and autonomy and automated reasoning. By partnering with research organizations and national laboratories, the company engineers practical solutions for real-world challenges. The firm also has a presence in Herndon, Virginia, and employs professionals with security clearances for mission-critical software programs.
