Organizational Development Resource Group (ODRG), a fast-rising technology and operations firm serving federal clients based in Arlington, Virginia, announced it secured a $3 million investment from the Empower the Change Fund — a growth capital fund dedicated to supporting undercapitalized entrepreneurs.
This investment will propel ODRG’s expansion into advanced geospatial intelligence services and strengthen its mission technology capabilities to deliver on the evolving needs of federal agencies.
Sophia Harris founded and led the ODRG, which has built a reputation for delivering high-performance mission support and innovative technology solutions across the national security and geospatial sectors. The company has a growing footprint and a client roster that includes the U.S. Navy (USN), Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
“This investment marks a transformative moment for our company,” said Sophia Harris, founder and CEO of ODRG. “It enables us to deepen our commitment to technical excellence, scale our operations, and broaden the impact we can make through delivering AI-powered geospatial and mission-critical services. We look forward to expanding our capacity to innovate for our federal mission partners with even greater agility.”
ODRG will use the capital infusion to grow, enhance R&D efforts, forge new strategic software partnerships, and expand the company’s portfolio of technology-forward solutions, under the ODRG NEXT OCTAVE™ emerging technologies. Already operating across the defense, intelligence, and federal sectors with 95% prime contracts, ODRG is on a trajectory to become a leading solutions-based firm at the intersection of human-centered design, AI-powered data platforms, and geospatial intelligence.
“Sophia Harris and the ODRG team represent exactly the kind of entrepreneurial excellence the Empower the Change Fund was designed to support,” said Sandra M. Moore, managing director and founder of the Empower the Change Fund at Advantage Capital. “The company delivers impressive innovation for its clients, and we’re proud to provide Sophia and her team the capital they need to unlock their next phase of growth.”
