About Locke
Summary
Locke builds an AI-native government affairs firm that helps companies lobby policymakers, win public contracts, and monitor legislation and regulations. Its LockeOS platform layers AI agents trained on expert policy data over the largest assembled U.S. government dataset, with human policy staffers and lobbyists reviewing outputs and managing government relationships. The product replaces traditional lobbying firms and manual policy-tracking work for organizations seeking to operate in the public sector.
Go-to-market
Private-sector companies in regulated industries and those pursuing government contracts buy Locke's services directly; outreach runs through Locke's in-house policy and sales team operating across San Francisco and Washington, DC.
