** About Fed Tech:
------------------------------------------------------------
www.fed-tech.org/

Fed Tech pairs highly qualified entrepreneurs with cutting-edge inventions from the US federal lab system to conduct customer discovery and build business models around emerging technologies. Our program leverages lean startup techniques while also focusing on the unique aspects of turning a federally funded technology into a startup.

Working with 17 labs across the country over the last three years, Fed Tech has taken dozens of technologies through a validation process and been responsible for multiple spin out companies.

Fed Tech bridges the gap between entrepreneurs and federal labs. We identify technologies of promise, validate markets, form startups and pursue licensing agreements and other collaborative tools.
