Our Program is focused on optimizing the underlying Company that supports and commercializes cutting edge technology. However, the content is not focused on technology research or development. As such, in most cases, the Program is best suited for commercial ready, or near commercial ready technology. The bulk of the Program’s resources begin at the pilot stage, if you have a technology that’s ready for pilot, you’re ready for the Program. The resources extend beyond launch, beyond commercialization and in to scaling. If you’re already successfully selling in to the public safety market, but you’re looking to increase distribution, add sales channels and grow, you’re also ready for the Program. Of course, all Companies in between pilot and scaling are also great fits.
FAQ Category: Applicant Criteria
What if my Company is international and brand new to the US public safety market?
The Program is designed to enable cutting edge technology, regardless of where the Company is located. If you have a technology that can bring value to first responders, in the US or abroad, the Program is built to help you do it and your application would be welcome.
What if my Company has already been selling in tangential markets and we believe we have application in public safety, but we have not yet explored the market?
This scenario is largely what the Program was designed to solve for. Leading technology has long avoided the public safety sector, we’re believe our Program can help solve that problem. We’ve simplified the path to market, and have built-in several early stage indicator checks that Companies can pursue to better gauge their potential success in the market. Again, if you have a technology with application in public safety, the Program is a great fit and we’d welcome your application.
What if my Company previously tried and failed to sell in to public safety so we decided to pivot?
If you believe your technology still has positive application in the industry, please apply. We’ve seen dozens of examples of great technology that wasn’t able to penetrate the market… That’s exactly why this Program was started, we want to support that great technology!
