What they're saying: "Convert is tackling a challenge that has existed across defence and critical infrastructure for decades — maintaining visibility once assets leave controlled environments," said Mel Morris, chief executive officer and co-founder of Corpora.ai. Martin Boddy, managing director at Convert, said the platform gives the company "access to a breadth of intelligence and expertise that would be impossible to build alone."

By pairing capital with research tooling, Corpora.ai is betting that access to intelligence — not just funding — is what accelerates the next wave of defence startups.
