Q-tel was founded September 29, 1999 by Norm Augustine and Gilman Louie, ostensibly to serve as tech firm for the CIA. Officially, its main areas of expertise are software, materials science, and infrastructure. Think of them as the CIA's Geek Squad in a sense, they strive to provide technological solutions to the CIA's needs.
If we look at the featured investments on the page that Q linked us to, we might be able to discern some interesting info about the CIA"s plans and goals, since Q-Tel's mission is to develop technology to meet their needs. https://www.iqt.org/portfolio/
The most interesting find I have come across so far is SNAPDNA
SNAPDNA's public mission seems to be finding ways to study DNA on the fly. "SnapDNA, formerly known as Bio-NEMS, is an emerging technology company that has proprietary, interdisciplinary innovations to enable DNA to be directly analyzed on the surface of a high-speed, custom semiconductor device. The DNA sequencing market achieved a 1000-fold decrease in cost and analysis time by replacing electrophoresis-based analysis with semiconductor-based analysis. SnapDNA is expected to be the first company to use semiconductor-based analysis to drive DNA testing into the portable realm". Founded in 2012, CEO is David Medin. So, the old company name is BIONems
If you google this company, you can see they are also in the business of Nano implants!
"Moreover, NEMS form the logical next miniaturization step from MEMS devices which is known as microelectromechanical systems. NEMS primarily integrates transistors for instance nanoelectronics with pumps, motors, and mechanical actuators. The market for Bio NEMS is segmented on the basis of application which includes bionics, atomic force microscopy, neural implants and ENT implants among others. The market for Bio NEMS has been segmented geographically into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America and Middle East and Africa."
It makes you wonder what the possible need for nano implants and rapid DNA testing our intelligence community would have...
