Our team saw that even the best Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) struggled with the full path to AWS Marketplace success—aligning with AWS sellers, optimizing listings, and proving readiness for co-sell. Beyond that, dual-use technology innovators face long, expensive barriers to enter regulated environments.

Garage.live was founded to fix that.

Our mission is to accelerate ISVs and partners with tools, workflows, and playbooks that make

AWS Marketplace, GovCloud, and future FedRAMP readiness fast, scalable, and accessible. We de-risk, harden, and scale ISV ecosystems for faster adoption.

We operate on a dual-track model to maximize our partners' reach:

• Commercial Track: Focuses on turning a Marketplace listing into a scalable growth engine by eliminating packaging hurdles and providing essential GTM support.

• Defense Track Overview

  Garage Defense, Garage.live’s dedicated defense track, accelerates secure AI adoption for mission and national defense programs.
  We bridge the gap between emerging innovation and mission deployment by working directly with leading AI and defense startups — building a live pipeline of technologies that can be fielded faster, safer, and more compliantly.

  Through our Defense Acceleration Hub, we deliver a GovCloud-ready framework for packaging, hardening, and deploying FedRAMP-aligned AI workflows directly inside accredited DoD environments— or extending them to the tactical edge through secure, U.S.-manufactured appliances when mission-required. This framework lays the foundation for Garage Defense’s DoD AI Sandbox — a secure environment that enables DoD organizations to deploy, test, and validate dual-use AI at no cost to the government or innovators, dramatically reducing onboarding friction and accelerating adoption.
  
  This approach enables modernization offices and mission programs to evaluate, integrate, and scale new AI capabilities in weeks instead of years.

  Garage Defense represents the operational layer of our Defense Track, while the Defense Acceleration Hub serves as its technical core — the deployable platform that delivers compliant, ready-to-field AI workflows for government and national security customers.
  
  Defense Track: Provides the fastest, most effective path into the Department of Defense (DoD) by guiding ISVs through the GovCloud path and enabling deployable, FedRAMP-aligned AI workflows that run directly inside accredited DoD environments— or on secure edge appliances under the same hardened container framework.

  This includes our Shared FedRAMP Enclave Roadmap, which extends aligned deployments into fully managed, authorized environments under a shared FedRAMP boundary.

Our Strategic Vision:

Garage.live's platform is designed to accelerate critical innovation. We are committed to developing and deploying proprietary AI solutions that address high-impact challenges across both commercial sectors and mission-critical defense environments. This strategic focus allows us to continually refine our acceleration capabilities, ensuring we are always providing the fastest pathway for innovation from prototype to mission.
