Our Story

From a Sterling, Virginia startup to an AI-native federal technology company.

Since 2011, AlphaSix has grown from a Sterling, Virginia startup into an AI-native federal technology company. What began as a specialized team focused on solving “big data” and infrastructure problems became a trusted prime contractor across Justice, Treasury, and Health and Human Services — and today, the maker of the Q-Suite of AI-native products. Through every stage, the through-line has held: mission first, and built for the realities of federal work.
