About DIUxACCELERATING COMMERCIAL INNOVATION FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE -- We provide non-dilutive capital in the form of pilot contracts for commercial innovation that solves Dept. of Defense (DoD) problems. And we do so quickly, usually in under 90 days. Pilot contracts can include hardware, software, or unique services. More importantly, after a successful pilot, the company involved and any DoD entity can easily enter into follow-on contracts, just as fast.If we think there's a good match between your solution and our DoD partners, we'll invite you to provide us with a full proposal -- this is the beginning of negotiating all the terms and conditions of a proposed pilot contract. After a successful pilot, the relationship can continue and even grow, as your company and any interested DoD entity can easily enter into follow-on contracts.Defense Innovation Unit ExperimentalDIUx_0cd8ae00-6ac2-11e8-866e-bf1b61751b22We're a fast-moving government entity that provides non-dilutive capital to companies to solve national defense problems.DIUx TeamWe're a small team of about 50 military and civilian personnel.
