A Journey of Global Impact
Our mission is to unlock the benefits of technology through entrepreneurially minded people.
Our Story
Founded in 2015 by Ben Solomon following his participation in the National Science Foundation's I-Corps program, FedTech is a venture studio and accelerator that specializes in transforming lab-created research and development (R&D) into market-ready solutions. FedTech partners with U.S. federal agencies and labs, research institutions, universities, and private-sector organizations to identify high-potential innovations and help bring them to commercial fruition.
Our Mission
FedTech’s core mission is to bridge the gap between government-sponsored R&D and private-sector entrepreneurship. The U.S. federal government invests billions of dollars annually into cutting-edge scientific and engineering research, but commercializing those breakthroughs can be challenging. FedTech addresses this challenge through programs and workshops that aim to:
- Identify disruptive technologies
- Match those technologies with entrepreneurs, innovators, and industry partners.
- Accelerate the technologies from concept or patent status to real-world products, companies, or licensing agreements.
- Support participants with mentorship, seed funding strategies, pitch preparation, business model validation, and networking.
