As we reflect on the announcement that Steampunk, Inc. and MetroStar have entered into an agreement to merge, one thing is abundantly clear: we’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead. This week, we shared the news with our employees, brought our leadership teams together, hosted our first joint All Hands, and capped it off with a MetroStar x Steampunk Grill & Chill at the Design Intelligence® Studio. Across every conversation and connection, we saw the energy, shared values, and ambition behind this combination. To every MetroStar and Steampunk employee, thank you. Thank you for your passion, curiosity, dedication, and for showing up this week with so much openness to what’s possible. And to our customers and partners, thank you for your trust, your collaboration, and for being part of the journey that brought us here. We’re energized by what this combination can unlock: broader capabilities, greater scale, deeper expertise, and new ways to help our customers move faster, solve harder problems, and deliver greater mission impact. The opportunity ahead is bigger than either company could pursue alone, and we’re energized by what that can mean for our people, our customers, and the future of government technology. What a week. And we’re just getting started!

They began on separate paths, each co-founding a company around a clear mission to help move the nation forward. Ali Reza Manouchehri (MetroStar) + Matt Warren (Steampunk, Inc.) know their paths in the industry differ, but the identities they share have helped them forge a bond already. Both leaders believe in action over inertia, putting people at the center of the work, and measuring technology by the outcomes it creates for warfighters, intelligence professionals, federal civilians, and the communities they serve. Together, they are creating a company built for what comes next. Read more about the merger here: https://lnkd.in/dqCUPmPS

MetroStar has landed at Catalyst Campus, Colorado Springs!   Yesterday, we kicked things off with a panel featuring CEO Ali Reza Manouchehri, Chief Innovation Officer Vy Truong, and Senior Director Doug Edwards. The conversation dug into what our growing presence here means for the space and defense community, and how our team supports missions that matter.   We also demoed six of our products and solution accelerators, including Meridian, our Operator-Ready Trust solution for space domain data.   And we're just getting started! Stay tuned for more from our Colorado Springs team in the months ahead.   Missed hearing about our products at the event?
