Startup Studios
When the technology needs a company to bring it to market.
We help launch companies around mission-relevant IP and use cases, pairing technical founders with operators, and mentors who understand how to build with federal sponsors. From day one, startups are built around your mission and your acquisition paths, not bolted onto them later.

Accelerators
When existing companies need a structured path to your end users.
Our team scouts mission-relevant deep tech companies and works hands-on to move them through TRLs into use with your end users, measured by fielded outcomes rather than program completion.
Explore Solutions
Internal Innovation
When researchers need market thinking baked into their work.
We coach researchers and inventors at your agency or lab to plan and guide their discoveries with the customer in mind from the start. The coaching is anchored in their current research and led by operators who have built and commercialized deep tech themselves.

What FedTech clients and partners say
"With the help of FedTech, we’re providing tools to accelerate commercialization of NASA technologies while potentially helping create new businesses in Ohio and across the country."
NASA
A NASA T2X Executive
"It’s an engaging, highly innovative program. The benefit for Carderock is that we're exposing our scientists and engineers to a new way of thinking about how they interact with companies and get their technology to the point where it's usable by the Navy."
U.S. Navy
A Naval Surface Warfare Center Official
"FedTech's expertise in technology transfer and commercialization has been a game-changer for our innovation initiatives."
U.S. Army
An xTech Accelerator Official
"As someone who was born and raised here, and who has spent a long time working in technology, economic development, and community-building—it’s incredibly exciting to see a program like this taking shape locally. To my knowledge, nothing like this has ever been rolled out in my home county before. It’s great to see the direction things are heading."
