In Q Tel Portfolio
February 24, 2013
In-Q-Tel supplies us with an updated list of US government-supported companies in its IQT Portfolio. The company dedicates itself to identifying emerging companies that offer technology of potential use to the U.S. intelligence community, and helping them reach that important market. The firm’s Mission page states:
“Launched in 1999 as an independent, not-for-profit organization, IQT was created to bridge the gap between the technology needs of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and new advances in commercial technology. With limited insight into fast-moving private sector innovation, the IC needed a way to find emerging companies, and, more importantly, to work with them. As a private company with deep ties to the commercial world, we attract and build relationships with technology startups outside the reach of the Intelligence Community. In fact, more than 70 percent of the companies that IQT partners with have never before done business with the government.”
The unique firm makes investments, of both capital and guidance, in startups with technology expected to benefit our intelligence agencies within 36 months. In-Q-Tel proudly attracts significant co-investments from the private sector, effectively lowering our government’s research costs.
See the list for the latest companies benefiting from In-Q-Tel’s support.
