About Strike Labs

Strike Labs is a software development, product agency, and venture firm boasting a team of seasoned developers and operators. We rapidly create and deploy intuitive and secure technical solutions and web-based applications dedicated to the Department of Defense, intelligence community, and supporting industry. Headquartered in Norwalk, CT, our team members are purposefully distributed throughout the continental United States, all holding US citizenship

Although our development team is small, we often outpace much larger firms. We prefer the fixed-fee approach, work exclusively with trusted clients, and thrive on solving complex problems.

Mission

We implement practical solutions based on published academic research, often found in the obscure white papers of scientists.

Philosophy

"Life is short, so let's do some good." We are an intentionally small, mission-focused team of experienced entrepreneurs and distributed technology specialists. We focus on solving today’s problems—those that don’t require new scientific breakthroughs, are typically relevant to a small, unique group of people, and require smart, innovative solutions. Our goal is to make a meaningful difference by addressing real, immediate challenges, rather than pursuing moonshot ideas.

History

Strike Labs was founded in 2018 by John Casano as a personal holding company to protect his intellectual property and ensure future creations remained independent of past ventures.

As Casano stepped down from CEO roles at Paragon Intel and JetTrack, he turned his focus to Strike Labs, aiming to bring ADS-B Encryption technology to the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Transportation (DoT).

Instead of building a large team, Strike Labs invested heavily in research and development, leading to swift recognition of its problem-solving abilities. From tracking COVID-19 to aiding evacuation efforts during the fall of Kabul, the company excelled where others struggled. Notable achievements include briefings with JSOC and contributions to the Global Analytics Platform.

Strike Labs has built a reputation among elite veterans, drawn by its ability to handle complex problems and deliver meaningful results.

Committed to its mission of supporting those who support others, Strike Labs aims to focus on a single, impactful product. With a small team of highly skilled developers, the company seeks long-term collaboration with clients who understand its unique value.
