In-Q-Tel, known as IQT, is a not-for-profit investment organisation helping bring commercial technologies into use for national security.

Its investment scope includes space systems, biotechnology, microelectronics and energy. These areas address capabilities such as satellite and rocket systems, engineered biology and resilient power, alongside the computing technologies used in both commercial and government systems.

IQT’s model connects technology companies with mission requirements and government users. For a founder, fit depends on whether the product can solve a concrete national-security problem as well as succeed in its commercial market.
