New names are accompanied by 6 times revenue growth, as well as rapid adoption by defense technology companies.
Boston, October 5th / PRNewswire / -- The company Pryzm, which was designed to contract for the government, has now been renamed Belisar.
During this brand reshaping period, the company is rapidly expanding, with ARR growing by a factor of 6, and the proportion of defense technology unicorns using this platform is also on the rise.
Belisar, co-founder and CEO, Nick LaRovere, stated: "The existence of Belisar is to connect the best technology with the tasks that need it most. In federal procurement, it is common for the best technology to go to the side that can best withstand bureaucratic friction. We are changing this. Our intelligent agent platform allows companies to see federal business growth opportunities more clearly, enabling customers to find, advance, and win government business more quickly."
The White House has requested a defense budget of $1.5 trillion for the fiscal year 2027, which is the largest defense budget request in U.S. history. In 2025, venture capital in the field of defense technology reached a record $49.1 billion, nearly twice that of the previous year. However, even with increased funding and opportunities, government contractors often find that the path from concept to contract to deployment is slow and opaque. The competitive landscape changes every day, and the procurement process is particularly challenging for those lacking institutional experience or long-term relationships.
Belisar integrates real-time data, intuitive AI, and enterprise CRM into a single operating system to help the best technologies prevail. Its clients include one-third of the more than 60 defense technology unicorns, among which are Forterra, Quantum Systems, and Allen Control Systems.
Forterra Chief Growth Officer Scott Sanders stated: "Traditional CRM is built for different tasks. There's nothing in the world quite like government contracting, where you need a tool that is truly designed for that purpose."
He continued, "We regard Belisar as a transformative tool at the company level. It is not only used by the growth team; the marketing team, operations team, and manufacturing team also utilize it when planning production cycles. Enabling everyone to see transparently the progress of sales targets, how we build capabilities for our customers, and how we deploy these capabilities is not just a growth issue; it's also a matter of operations and engineering. Belisar has brought us higher operational efficiency by allowing data to be shared across the entire system."
A wide range of companies, from large main contractors, sub-main contractors, leading consulting firms to defense technology startups, are using the Belisar platform. Customers include HII, Boeing, and Beacon Global. It is also a trusted record-keeping system for government agencies; the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) chose Belisar (then known as Pryzm) for its Enterprise Workflow, and, and Reporting Platform ( eWARP ) projects. The platform holds IL5 and FedRAMP High authorizations.
Investors of Belisar include Andreessen Horowitz and XYZ Venture Capital, among others. The platform was created by Palantir and former employees of Lockheed Martin, and covers market intelligence for the United States federal government and SLED markets, as well as NATO, the European Union, and a total of 39 other countries. Its enterprise CRM provides a unified global perspective for both commercial and governmental operations.
