The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has a venture capital arm.
What Kind of Ventures Have They Funded?
One company received a recent infusion of cash from the CIA’s (In-Q-Tel) investment fund is Cleversafe, a startup that offers software to keep data stored in cloud networks secure by slicing it up and storing it in different locations. In-Q-Tel invests in startups developing technologies that could prove useful to the CIA and the national security community. In-Q-Tel invites startups to submit applications for funding through its website and issues a press release every time it funds a new company.
What technologies is the CIA interested in now?
The next big trend in data is going to be geolocation, and the power to predict where you’re going to go next and who you spend the most time with.
