Rooms that don't exist elsewhere.
We get the right people together — from government, industry, and universities. No press. No politics. Just people who know what they're talking about.
Through trusted, nonpartisan collaboration.
"Viking 25, contact 25 miles north, 22,000 feet, bogey. Spades."
A call from the controller to the pilot. Something is on radar — fast, closing, unknown. Not friendly. Not hostile. Just unidentified. Spades.
The word doesn't answer the question. It names it. And it kicks off the work of figuring it out.
That's what Spades Institute does — turn "we don't know" into "here's what we do." Cyber threats, AI risks, the gaps between agencies that aren't talking to each other: different scope, same problem.
We bring the right people together to work through it.
We get the right people together — from government, industry, and universities. No press. No politics. Just people who know what they're talking about.
What experts learn in those rooms gets turned into something useful — clear guidance and shared language that people can actually use the next day.
Cyber threats, AI risks, gaps between agencies — the problems that matter most rarely have easy answers. That's exactly where we work.
Whether you want to collaborate, support our work, or just learn more — we'd like to hear from you.
