Startup Services

We help deep tech founders get to market, and stay there.

FedTech moves breakthrough science from the lab to the field. We design and connect the full lifecycle : studios, accelerators, TABA, alumni services. So government, industry, and founders can move from lab to mission and market without going it alone.

Founders who go through FedTech programs win government contracts, secure follow-on funding, and reach fielded use in sectors where most startups stall.

Accelerators

Programs designed for real-world adoption.

FedTech has run accelerator programs for Army, DARPA, Navy, DOE, DHS, and Northrop Grumman, among others. Each cohort is built around a specific sponsor and mission. Selection is tied to what that sponsor needs, and companies are chosen for fit with the acquisition path, not just on merit. Programming runs toward a real outcome: a pilot, a test bed, a funded engagement.

Sarah Myers

Co-Founder of ELVEE, Startup Studio Participant

"FedTech was vital to refining Neurable's presentation, narrative, and overall understanding of how to work with the DoD. But most excitingly, we've accepted for our very first Phase II [SBIR]! This is a direct result of our most recent Phase I engagement with FedTech and I am beyond thankful"

Neurable

NSIN Foundry Alumni Company and SBIR Recipient

"I often dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur, but didn't know how or where to get started. Before [Foundry], I knew next to nothing about deep tech, IP licensing, or how to actually build a startup. The program is an invaluable opportunity to learn and grow."

Karlin Younger
