Sayari is the judgment infrastructure for trustworthy AI in economic security and commercial risk. The company provides what it describes as the world's most comprehensive commercial intelligence platform, serving government agencies and Fortune 500 enterprises across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Founded in 2015, Sayari is still founder-led and operates from its base in Washington, D.C.
The company's core product is its commercial intelligence platform, designed for use in intelligence community operations, financial crime investigation, and broader commercial risk assessment. Internally, Sayari runs every function on a proprietary operating system called xOS, which mirrors the judgment infrastructure it sells to clients. The firm has reached approximately $100 million in annual recurring revenue and has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for four consecutive years, as well as the Deloitte Fast 500.
Sayari's technical work spans AI, data engineering, and commercial intelligence. The company culture emphasizes deep ownership and technical rigor, with engineers expected to ship to production daily. The operational philosophy favors written documentation over meetings and optimizes for focus rather than facetime. Mission alignment is a stated priority for the team.
