Steve explains what is meant by In-Q-Tel’s platform slogan to “combine the security savvy of government with the can-do curiosity of Silicon Valley”, why their efforts building a bridge between private sector innovation and federal government agencies is so important to us all from both an economic and a security perspective, how digital industrial innovations specifically are legitimate matters of national security for the US government to stay on top of (hint: a lot of offline infrastructure assets are being brought online faster than ever), and how In-Q-Tel tangibly works with its portfolio company to drive value back to a startup leveraging the breadth and reach of the federal government at their side (over a 50% hit-rate on commercial engagement introductions!).
