The MTL Defense Accelerator is designed to help startups break into the defense sector with dual-use technologies including:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cybersecurity
  • Mobile application development

The accelerator selects five companies to participate and matching companies with national security advisors to assess the viability of scaling their products and/or services within the federal government.

The program provides coaches to help build and refine a defense specific go-to-market strategy, business development experts and writing specialists to support proposals, and access to Treble One’s expansive network of Department of Defense users, customers, and investors.

Through hands-on support, the program hopes to provide assistance to:

  • Translate commercial technologies for defense applications
  • Navigate complex DoD procurement processes
  • Compete for non-dilutive federal funding opportunities

The official kick off for the program will be June 5 in Montgomery. The event will bring together founders, defense leaders, and partners to make meaningful connections and set the tone for an impactful accelerator experience.
