August 9, 2023 / Emily Ounanian

Washington, D.C., August 9, 2023 — Dcode, the premier advisory firm connecting the emerging tech industry and government to drive commercial innovation in the federal market, is proudly partnering with the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) to facilitate the NSIN Vector program. 

NSIN Vector is an opportunity for early-stage ventures to further develop their leading-edge technology solutions with the support of NSIN subject matter experts. Vector provides participating ventures with training and mentorship as they prepare for the showcase day, where winning teams receive non-dilutive funding to advance their core business and equip them to work with the DoD.

Dcode has partnered with NSIN since 2021 to deliver NSIN Vector, in addition to other programs. “NSIN embodies the spirit of follow through in the DoD by not only providing early-stage ventures an entry point into federal but also investing in the education and funding required for long-term success,” Managing Director of Customer Success, Riya Patel commented. This partnership with NSIN furthers Dcode’s commitment to integrating the best emerging technology into the federal government.

The 2023 iteration of NSIN Vector specifically targets early-stage ventures whose principal places of business are in the states of Hawaii, Washington, Kansas, Ohio, and Arizona – where NSIN will place future Mission Acceleration Centers. Early-stage ventures starting within the commercial market and interested in exploring DoD market opportunities, or startups beginning in the DoD market and seeking to grow should consider applying for this 2023 iteration.
