Aetherius is a Texas-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. We combine deep program-management credibility with rare private-AI capability — and the discipline to handle sensitive work the right way.
Aetherius was founded on a simple conviction: the people who have actually owned cost, schedule, and performance on major defense programs are the people who should be staffing and managing them. Our principals served a combined 30-plus years in the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force, and led real scope at a top-three prime contractor.
We bring two things the market rarely finds together. The first is program-management credibility — earned through control account management, operations leadership, and a network of cleared, service-academy-graduate professionals. The second is private AI capability — the ability to stand up locally-hosted, air-gap-compatible AI infrastructure so that sensitive documents and data are processed without ever touching a third-party cloud.
That combination matters most where trust is non-negotiable: federal agencies, prime contractors, and organizations that cannot afford to surrender control of their data. We are a small, senior team by design — clients work directly with the principals who do the work.
