The company was founded by Neil Sobin, who serves as the CEO. With a background in mapping, edge data, and AI, Sobin identified a gap in real-time ocean sensing infrastructure and envisioned turning ordinary vessels into intelligent nodes within a global network.

The leadership team also includes Head of Operations Marisa Beck and a technical expert, Zachary, who has experience in maritime tech, AI, and robotics.
Quartermaster's system is designed to provide high-definition video and AI-driven insights to detect, monitor, and flag suspicious activities and potential threats at sea. The platform offers real-time visuals via a hardened satellite link, enabling rapid coordination and decision-making for its clients. The company's technology serves civil and commercial operators, including coast guards, navies, insurers, and researchers. By providing verified intelligence that meets chain of evidence standards, Quartermaster addresses challenges in safety, security, and environmental oversight. Headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, the company received over $3.3 million in federal contracts as of April 2023.
