COLUMBIA, Md., (January 6, 2025)TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced a recent $25,000 Pre-Seed Builder Fund investment in Sybal. This Maryland-based software startup provides computational governance solutions designed to support various industries. 

“Sybal aims to help its clients improve situational awareness and create decision advantage in mission critical operations governed by policy,” states Sybal CEO Christine Sanni. “TEDCO’s Builder Fund has provided Sybal®, not only capital to help us scale, but their deep understanding of how to do business in our market has shortened our learning curve as we work to bring Sybal’s Proof of Governance ® solution to the government.” 

Sybal, based in North Bethesda, Md., is a software company offering governance solutions. Its patented Proof of Governance® solution aims to reduce the cost and time it takes teams to identify, interpret, and correct performance gaps governed by policy. Their solutions and innovative approach to governance may be beneficial for those who are seeking to create real-time feedback loops across operational functions directed by policy and regulatory requirements. 

“Sybal is developing a range of innovative solutions to address governance challenges in different sectors, while also developing their own approach,” notes senior director of Social Impact Funds, Jean-Luc Park. “TEDCO’s Social Impact Funds were curated to support startups that are working to create innovative technology solutions and are not afraid to forge new pathways.”

Sybal’s journey has been supported by various TEDCO programs including the SBIR/STTR Proposal Lab and DefTech.
