Vector Showcase - May 21, 2021
About NSIN Vector
Vector is a pilot program of the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) designed to take pre-venture alumni teams from other NSIN DoD-problem-solving programs (H4D, Hacks, or X-Force) and help them evaluate the potential of forming a dual-use company around their capability.
For this inaugural pilot iteration, we selected 18 teams to participate in an eight-week accelerator covering topics including business formation, market analysis, sales, fundraising, government contracting 101 and pitch prep.
Those teams were divided into two cohorts, with nine teams receiving their instruction from Dcode and nine teams receiving their instruction from H4XLabs, an affiliate of BMNT, Inc.
The NSIN Vector program concludes with a showcase pitch day and a single winning team from each cohort eligible to win $25K.
