Application process
Four steps from first conversation to program launch.
Snapshot
Run NINA or request a 30-minute intake.
Fit
We recommend DTIP, DLIF, a workshop, or Centurions against your TRL, timeline, and sponsor target.
Review
Selective intake. We decline work that does not have a defensible mission thread.
Launch
Targets, artifacts, and the first meetings — not a reading list.
