Identify ideal partners, collaborators, and prior awardees; map capability gaps; and access non-dilutive funding insights so you can move confidently from discovery to proposal to commercialization.
Core Capabilities
AI Classification Engine
iScout is powered by an AI/LLM engine purpose-built for federal innovation.
What It Does
Analyzes federal solicitations, RFIs, RFPs, and award data
Identifies key technical concepts and capabilities
Links opportunities to relevant companies, research, patents, experts, and awards
Translates government jargon into clear, actionable insight
Why It Matters
Federal opportunities are complex—especially for first-time DoD entrants. iScout removes the guesswork by turning dense government language into clarity, helping you understand what’s being asked and who’s best positioned to respond.
Opportunity Discovery
iScout finds the federal opportunities that matter most—without requiring knowledge of keywords, jargon, or specific programs.
What It Does
Continuously scans RFPs, RFIs, BAAs, SBIR/STTR topics, and other solicitations
Matches opportunities to your capabilities, technologies, and interests
Delivers real-time opportunity notifications (free for all users)
Highlights which opportunities best align with your innovation goals
Why It Matters
Many innovative companies never see the opportunities that fit their expertise. iScout makes sure the right opportunities find you—every time.
Knowledge Graph Intelligence
At the core of iScout is a dynamic knowledge graph connecting millions of data points across the innovation ecosystem.
What It Does
Links businesses, technologies, research, patents, awards, and faculty expertise
Reveals who has worked on what, where, and in which technical areas
Maps the innovation lineage behind opportunities, technologies, and companies
Why It Matters
Many teams invest time and money without knowing what’s already been funded. iScout helps you build faster by leveraging existing innovation—or clearly differentiating from it.
Tech Scouting & IP Search
iScout helps organizations discover cutting-edge technologies and intellectual property—especially beyond the traditional DoD supply chain.
What It Does
Surfaces emerging technologies, academic research, patents, and licensable IP
Identifies innovators, faculty experts, and research teams behind the work
Reveals how technologies connect to prior awards and funding
Why It Matters
Many teams reinvent what already exists. iScout helps you accelerate development by building on proven innovation—or clearly differentiating where it matters most.
Partner & Collaborator Matching
Strong, well-aligned teams win federal innovation funding. iScout helps you build them—fast.
What It Does
Identifies potential partners across industry, academia, labs, and government
Evaluates capabilities, prior awards, and technical fit
Recommends collaborators for SBIR/STTRs, R&D, and commercialization
Why It Matters
Great technology alone isn’t enough. iScout helps you find the right partners, reduce friction, and confidently enter the federal innovation ecosystem.
Funding & Award Insights
iScout helps innovators understand—and win—non-dilutive federal funding.
What It Does
Surfaces historical awards, recipients, and funding pathways
Clarifies funding levels, timelines, and commercialization opportunities
Shows how Phase I, II, and III awards support growth and scale
Provides insight for investors evaluating de-risked companies
Why It Matters
Federal funding can dramatically extend runway and reduce risk. iScout gives teams a clear path into SBIR, STTR, and related programs—even if they’re new to the DoD ecosystem.
