3Keys to Success
In-Q-Tel blends research and development
models from corporate venture capital funds,
businesses, nonprofits, and government.
While we pay the bills, In-Q-Tel is independent
of CIA. CIA identifies pressing problems, and
In-Q-Tel provides the technology to address them.
The In-Q-Tel alliance has put the Agency back at
the leading edge of technology, a frontier we
never should have retreated from in the first
place. George Tenet, Former Director,
