Funded to Win: How Defense Tech Startups Secure Millions Without Giving Up Equity was generously sponsored by Eagle Point Funding.
Technology startups are navigating an unprecedented opportunity—while venture capital contracts and civilian agencies face budget cuts, defense innovation funding remains robustly protected with billions flowing through SBIR/STTR, bridge programs such as TACFI and STRATFI, and procurement contracts. We interviewed six experts on accessing defense innovation funding, converting initial grants into procurement contracts, and building sustainable federal funding pipelines that accelerate growthwithout sacrificing equity.
