In-Q-Tel: How to Keep Your Spies In the Know

 

Even the CIA needs help with technology. In-Q-Tel is just the solution the spymasters of the world were looking for.

 

 

Part 007 gadget master, part nerd, part financier. In-Q-Tel is most commonly known as the venture capital arm of the CIA. Its name comes from a mashup of the word “intelligence” and “Q,” 007’s supplier of gadgets and technology.

 

In-Q-Tel’s business model is simple: it seeks to help the U.S. intelligence community, through the CIA, keep pace with the private sector in discovering unique technological advancements that serve to find intelligence solutions. More specifically, it looks for enhanced innovation, earlier discovery of relevant technologies, and more direct information on market developments [1]. While In-Q-Tel’s business model shares many similarities with traditional venture capital firms, it differs in important ways. Its primary objective isn’t to maximize return on investment. Rather, it aims to accelerate pseudo-developed technology into businesses that deliver fully useable products to the CIA and, later, the broader market. Consequently, In-Q-Tel rigorously diligences potential portfolio companies to meet CIA objectives, while providing a more in-depth relationship with its portfolio companies through intellectual and financial capital, while also offering the CIA as a beta tester to those companies.[2]

 

While the original purpose of the firm was to supply the CIA with technological solutions, In-Q-Tel strives to do so with products supported by the competitive marketplace, not government funding. [3] This important distinction ensures that portfolio companies are left to the same commercial pressures as any other Silicon Valley darling, undergoing intense scrutiny and continuous development. Palantir, a Big Data analytics firm, is an example of one such investment. Originally founded in 2004, with the CIA as its first client, Palantir has now expanded its client base to include many notable commercial firms.

 

In-Q-Tel’s operational structure is key to delivering on its business model:

 

Funding: Like all venture capital and investment funds, capital is In-Q-Tel’s lifeblood. While most venture capital firms seek outside investment from limited partners (LPs), In-Q-Tel receives its funding directly from the CIA’s Directorate of Science and Technology, to the tune of approximately $37 million annually.[4] Although relatively small compared to the mega VC funds of Sand Hill Rd, the cash flows are likely to be much more certain each year, and come from one “client”, the CIA, potentially providing more flexibility than a standard VC would see.

Inherent partnership with the CIA: In-Q-Tel is set up as a distinct corporation and is legally independent of the CIA. Its relationship with the Agency is a contractual one.[5] Having a direct association with the CIA gives In-Q-Tel the guaranteed benefit of having a sophisticated client that dictates what it wants and needs, information In-Q-Tel uses to find solutions to those problems.[6] While other firms in the space spend considerable time and resources anticipating what consumers want, In-Q-Tel has the luxury of dedicating resources to searching for direct solutions.

Not-for-profit structure: In-Q-Tel is set up as a nonprofit that funnels any profits it makes on its investments back into the organization.[7] The setup allows the firm to concentrate on its primary objective of delivering technological solutions over maximizing profit. Despite the not-for-profit designation, employees are still compensated from their stake in the portfolio company, aligning interests, while keeping pay far above typical government salaries, which helps attract talent.

Board of Trustees: Guided by the board of trustees, In-Q-Tel creates strategic partnerships with leaders in their respective fields. This includes professors from top engineering schools, partners from top venture capital firms, and lawyers from the best law firms.[8] The confluence of unique perspectives across different, yet relevant, industries, provides insight into different industries and can even lead to potential coinvestments on large deals with other firms.

In-Q-Tel has led to many new solutions. While there remain several questions about the firm’s future viability (e.g., below VC industry average pay, which may lead to a brain drain), the U.S. intelligence community, as well as private corporations and users have continued to praise In-Q-Tel’s role in bridging a gap in technology.

SPECIAL THANKS to The New York Times for Accidentally Providing the Data that Will Bring Down Biden and CRACK THE BIGGEST VOTE FRAUD IN HISTORY

 

Thank you, New York Times for your best piece of real news in years!

 

On Tuesday we published our report on the widespread election night theft of votes from President Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

 

We obtained an unaudited analysis of data available for all the states looking for system glitches and other oddities in vote counts related to the Presidential race only.

 

We were led to a site on the Internet thedonald.win where someone who had seen our posts decided to run analysis himself.

 

The author obtained data that has been passed around that was reportedly captured by the New York Times on election night.

By examining the data the author was able to locate an instance where votes were switched from Trump to Biden so he decided to perform an analysis on the entire data set, starting with the states where Dominion voting machines are used.

 

The author also claims that the data is from Edison Research and it is the same data that is used for election coverage by at least ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News.

 

It is also used for the website of the NYT, and probably others as well.

 

Based on this initial analysis from The New York Times over 500,000 votes were identified that were switched from President Trump to Joe Biden.

 

In addition to this hundreds of thousands of Trump were also deleted.

We now know there was tremendous fraud in the 2020 election.

Joe Biden had zero support, and yet his vote count surpassed the greatest campaign in US history led by President Donald Trump.

We are supposed to believe Joe Biden defeated President Trump and at the same time lost seats in the US House and state legislatures? This is highly improbable.

And thanks to The New York Times — we now have information that will take down Democrats and Joe Biden!

Thank you, New York Times!
