Darwin AI was featured this week in Times Square, marking another milestone in our journey to help governments adopt artificial intelligence safely and at scale.

We’re proud to share that Darwin AI has been named to the 2025 AI Disruptors 60 by TechCrunch and Greenfield Partners, following last week’s announcement of our $15 million Series A funding round led by Insight Partners.

The AI Disruptors 60, unveiled at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, recognizes the most innovative startups turning AI from promise into real-world impact. Selected from nearly 1,000 applicants, Darwin was recognized for building the critical infrastructure that helps government agencies innovate with AI while maintaining compliance, transparency, and accountability.

“Being recognized alongside the most impactful AI innovators validates what we’re seeing from agencies nationwide: governments need practical infrastructure to move beyond AI pilots to true transformation,” said Noam Maital, Co-founder and CEO of Darwin AI. “This recognition, combined with our Series A funding and growing deployments across Texas, Ohio, California, Illinois, and Washington, reflects the urgent need for the foundation Darwin provides – a clear path to AI innovation that doesn’t compromise on responsibility.”

Powering Responsible AI in the Public Sector

Darwin addresses one of government’s biggest AI challenges — how to innovate responsibly.

Our platform combines two integrated solutions:

  • Darwin Govern: a centralized system of AI guardrails that enables agencies to establish policy, enforce records management, oversee data governance, and maintain compliance across their AI environment.
  • Darwin LaunchPad: builds on this foundation, allowing agencies to create and manage mission-specific agentic workflows for HR, procurement, permitting, and other operational processes.

Our research shows that more than 60% of AI usage in public agencies occurs through unsupervised “shadow AI” tools, often exposing sensitive data and personal information. Darwin’s solutions help agencies regain control, ensure compliance, and accelerate safe innovation.

Recognition and Momentum

The back-to-back announcements — our Series A funding and recognition on the AI Disruptors 60 list — highlight the growing momentum for responsible AI adoption in the public sector.

Darwin was also recently honored by the Center for Public Sector AI’s inaugural AI 50 Awards, further underscoring our leadership in building the foundation for scalable, responsible AI in government.

“The convergence of recognition from both the investment community and the technology ecosystem validates the critical role Darwin plays in making government AI adoption both possible and responsible,” added Maital.

Thank You to Our Community

This recognition wouldn’t be possible without our customers, partners, and team members who share our mission of making AI in government both innovative and accountable.

Together, we’re building the future of government technology.
