SXSW 2023
Co-Investing with the Department of the Air Force
Description:
Come learn about how we support small businesses and the greater economy with non-dilutive funding and contracting opportunities through our core capabilities: the Open Topic, Specific Topic, and Supplemental Funding Increase Programs (Strategic Financing Increase Program, or STRATFI, and Tactical Funding Increase Program, or TACFI). Join as we discuss opportunities for venture capital and the larger private investment community to co-invest alongside the DAF SBIR/STTR budget to help bridge the valley of death, learn more about the DAF’s investment thesis and upcoming opportunities, and hear from other venture leaders why they pursue the return on investment of investing in dual-use and defense companies.
