Getting started

Application process

Four steps from first conversation to program launch.

1

Snapshot

Run NINA or request a 30-minute intake.

2

Fit

We recommend DTIP, DLIF, a workshop, or Centurions against your TRL, timeline, and sponsor target.

3

Review

Selective intake. We decline work that does not have a defensible mission thread.

4

Launch

Targets, artifacts, and the first meetings — not a reading list.
