INVESTORS

Our investors?

DDT is proud to be entirely independent, meaning we are fully self-financed. This decision was made deliberately and for good reason. As an independent company, we are able to operate according to our own values rather than being influenced by the political agendas or priorities of external shareholders. This independence allows us to remain focused on what truly matters: creating innovative solutions and serving our customers without compromise.

We recognize that this approach is both a privilege and a challenge. It requires a significant initial financial commitment on our part, and it comes with inherent risks. However, we firmly believe that the freedom to develop products without external pressures and to let our customers make decisions free from third-party interests is a unique and unparalleled advantage in the long term.

As a result, DDT stands apart in the AI landscape.
We are one of the few companies working with federal, state, and municipal governments, as well as private sector clients, that has no external dependencies. This independence enables us to build trust and deliver solutions that are aligned solely with the needs and goals of those we serve. For us, this is not just a business decision—it is the foundation of our identity and a cornerstone of our success.

PEOPLE

Our team?

Our company is driven by one core principle: delivering reliable, high-performance AI-driven systems. This isn’t about diversity for the sake of it—it’s about assembling the right minds with the right expertise to ensure that every component, from image recognition pipelines to real-time data processing, functions seamlessly. At the core, our software engineers and data scientists work on optimizing neural networks, refining model inference speeds, and integrating complex GStreamer and NVIDIA DeepStream-based streaming solutions. The goal is to push efficiency while maintaining low-latency processing across large-scale camera networks.

Infrastructure specialists ensure that our systems run on stable, scalable architectures, whether it’s fine-tuning GPU workloads, managing edge computing nodes, or optimizing our Linux-based environments for peak uptime. Security and compliance are embedded at every layer, with specialists ensuring GDPR adherence without compromising system performance.

We operate in critical infrastructure, where reliability and security are paramount. Given the nature of our work, we do not publicly expose our employees or team structure. Our focus remains on the technology, ensuring that our AI-powered surveillance and analytics systems function with precision, resilience, and minimal manual intervention.

Our work isn’t about theoretical AI models or flashy tech demos—it’s about making sure real-world deployments run efficiently, securely, and at scale.
