1. About us
Onebrief is building the future of military decisions. Our product is suitable for operational planning across the force, but we’re focused initially on large-scale OPLANs and CONPLANs.
We’re a true Silicon Valley startup. We’ve raised $21.1M in Venture Capital, and we’re backed by Y Combinator (original backer of Airbnb, Stripe, Reddit, Dropbox). Our advisors include Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster (former National Security Advisor), Lieutenant General Lewis Craparotta (former Commander, Marine Forces Pacific), and Brigadier General Mike Meese (former Social Sciences Dept Head at West Point).
We’re a small and rapidly growing team. We all work remote, and we’re spread worldwide, across Korea, Hawaii, CONUS, the UK, and Germany. Today, there are 35 people on our team, up from 4 last January.
Our goal is to become the single collaborative planning solution – from the Battalion level up to the Joint Staff, for the US and our allies around the world.
About Europe: Onebrief is broadly deployed at USEUCOM. The largest OPLAN in Europe is entirely in our tool, and we’re rapidly expanding to the J3 and service components.
2. About you
You have credibility with customers and deeply understand large military headquarters. The Commanding General cares what you have to say. So do skillful planners, mainly in the rank of O-4 to O-6, respect you and care what you have to say
You can get things from large government organizations Example: our engineer needs admin access to a system on JWICS, in order to diagnose technical issues. It’s an unusual request, and no one at the customer knows what to do. Everyone tells you it’s not possible, but you love a bureaucratic challenge. You solve the problem with a few phone calls
You have technical skill You don’t need to code, but you do need to be savvy. Can you become a power user of our product and talk engineering with the customer?
You work well with customers You understand them, and they confide in you. Users ask you to have a beer
You’re intense about our mission. It’s a core part of who you are
You’re ambitious. We’re getting bigger. You should too

Onebrief makes military planning seamless and represents a shift in paradigm for future military decisions. It is an all-in-one tool that supports both the creative and process-oriented aspects of military planning. In Onebrief, planners use maps, boards, diagrams, timelines, tables, slide decks and text documents to create their plans—all while sharing a common database. Everything stays in sync, in real time. Our approach has been refined and validated through hundreds of user experiments.
We’re post-revenue ($5M+ in ARR), and our customers include some of the most prestigious military commands around the world. We are backed by Y Combinator (S21) and top-tier VCs, including Caffeinated Capital (Affirm, Docker, Notion, and more). Our elite team combines the best of tech and military talent, including education and experience at Google, Facebook, Twitter, Adobe, MIT, Harvard, Rivian, Delta Force, TOPGUN, and more.
