DRIVe is forming novel Public-Private Partnerships. Approaches could include non-dilutive funding through DRIVe-X or dilutive funding through DRIVe Launch or DRIVe Ventures.
DRIVe-X is our hyper-focused innovation development program, using non-dilutive funding to address national health security threats. If you're interested in partnering with us, please review our EZ BAA. Additional partnering opportunities will follow. For more information, please see the full EZ BAA announcement on FedBizOpps.
DRIVe Ventures will work with corporate venture capital partners to invest in promising products, driving them to the marketplace to transform and enhance national health security.
DRIVe Launch establishes a bilateral partnership with a non-profit third-party entity with the potential for the entity to take equity positions in companies and/or technologies. DRIVe Launch will address gaps which require innovative and entrepreneurial approaches that may not be considered under traditional medical countermeasure development.
DRIVe is decentralizing innovation across the country. The DRIVe Accelerator Network is working with regional accelerators to identify promising innovation and provide wraparound technical and business development support services.
