Overview

Rise8, Inc. is a business services company based in Tampa, Florida, specializing in custom software and IT services within the broader technology sector. Founded in 2021, the company employs between 11 and 50 individuals and reported revenue of approximately $2.54 million. Rise8 focuses on developing innovative software solutions for the Department of War (DoW) through its initiative known as Software Factory 2.0 (SWF 2.0). This model aims to transform the delivery of mission software by treating it as a critical warfighting capability rather than a mere cost. The SWF 2.0 approach seeks to address the shortcomings of previous software delivery models by promoting continuous delivery practices, leveraging Lean manufacturing principles, and adopting a capacity-based funding model that emphasizes outcomes over traditional project-based funding. The company's published documents reflect a commitment to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of federal IT projects, which have historically faced significant challenges in terms of budget and scheduling.
