MindPetal was founded in 2006 to address complex technical challenges faced by our government customers. The newly minted company took over a critical project at the Department of Labor (DOL) after multiple failed attempts by large integrators. MindPetal followed a nimble and agile delivery model and successfully stabilized and deployed the DOL system.

Building on our successful DOL engagement, MindPetal has delivered projects at more than a dozen federal agencies including the Department of the Interior (DOI), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Justice (DOJ), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Fourteen years later, MindPetal continues to deliver complex, enterprise solutions to support our federal customers, including cloud-based, low code, and business process management (BPM) solutions to modernize legacy systems.

On November 1, 2023, MindPetal acquired Vertical Applications, Inc. (VerticalApps), a leading provider of Intelligent Automation solutions for the Federal Government, expanding our capabilities to include data analytics, robotic process automation (RPA), and artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, the VerticalApps acquisition enabled MindPetal to significantly strengthen our senior management team with the addition of VerticalApps founders Will Choi as Chief Operating Officer, Paul Grace as Chief Financial Officer, and Mike Grace as Senior Vice President for Program Delivery.

With 2023 projected revenue of $20M and more than 130 staff, MindPetal is independently assessed at CMMI Maturity Level 3 for Development (CMMI-DEV ML3) and Services (CMMI-SVC ML3), and is ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 20000 (ITIL/ITSM), and ISO 27001 (Information Security) certified.
