Sightline Ventures links arms with innovators in the arena for success in the DOD
Business owners want to work on their technology, not figure out how to navigate contract opportunities with the DOD.
We help small businesses with innovative technology win contracts with the DOD. In doing so, our clients secure non-dilutive funding to advance their product capabilities, expand product market fit, and achieve faster growth.
We work with small businesses in all industries, including those that are developing technologies related to AI/ML, processors, additive manufacturing, digital engineering, cybersecurity, novel materials, and more.
We get you from point A to point B with the DOD
Let us navigate the process so you can focus on what you do best.
Phase One: Understanding your Technology and Strategizing
- After an initial point of contact, we set up a meeting with you to learn about your technology, its purpose, and your goals for business development.
- Once we understand your technology and business goals, we use our expert knowledge of the DOD to identify viable opportunities as well as potential government partners.
- We create a road map that will help you meet your goals and develop new opportunities for your technology in the DOD space.
- We will conduct frequent tag ups to ensure continual progress is being made.
Phase Two: Pursuing and Submitting Proposals
- We get to work on your proposal of choice. Drawing on our experience and relationships with military personnel, we provide technical information you need and work with you to craft the message of your technology.
- With our extensive network of DOD stakeholders, we help you obtain letters of support from different government stakeholders and industry organizations.
- We thoughtfully complete the proposal, focusing on the essential elements of your technology and making sure all RFP (request for proposal) requirements are met.
- We help you submit a successful, visually-pleasing proposal on time to the DOD.
Phase Three: DOD Contract Support and Consulting
- When contracts are awarded, we walk you through contract terms and help you manage negotiations.
- We assist with the post-award administration by consulting on contract execution, to include terms and conditions, invoices and deliverables.
