FedTech
FedTech started in 2013 as a part of the DC I-Corps program. Since then Fed Tech has developed a process where innovations in federal labs are matched with entrepreneurs who conduct rigorous customer discovery and business model building. This program has worked with seventeen labs across the country and over 120 entrepreneurs, MBAs, MS and PhDstudents.They aim for their program to be rigorious and to produce real results for their federal partners. Each technology from the federal lab is carefully vetted and each of their entrepreneurs goes through a lengthy interview process. By the end of their cohort they aim to understand if a technology has a viable transition path and how to best address its future market.
