- [Narrator] Six months ago
this was just a crazy idea,

00:03.432 --> 00:08.120
that we could somehow get
from a pitch to a contract

00:08.120 --> 00:10.599
in the same day in a payment method

00:10.599 --> 00:13.780
that makes sense for small businesses.

00:13.780 --> 00:16.783
This is just the first
of a much broader edition

00:16.783 --> 00:19.086
that we want to champion in the Air Force.

00:19.086 --> 00:21.966
Notice there is no place that we have

00:21.966 --> 00:23.610
small business up here.

00:23.610 --> 00:26.270
We don't like the term,
this is just a business.

00:26.270 --> 00:29.268
This is a strategic
engagement for the Air Force

00:29.268 --> 00:31.631
because if you've had a great idea

00:31.631 --> 00:34.794
and a great technology you
should be working with us.

00:34.794 --> 00:37.470
We have resources, we have mission,

00:37.470 --> 00:38.906
we have inspiring problems,

00:38.906 --> 00:41.170
so why aren't we out in your world?

00:41.170 --> 00:43.400
Why aren't we part of your ecosystem?

00:43.400 --> 00:47.190
You are at the beginning
of a big culture-shift

00:47.190 --> 00:50.450
in the government where
we woke up and said,

00:50.450 --> 00:54.766
we are not a funder or a inventor

00:54.766 --> 00:56.720
of new technology anymore,

00:56.720 --> 00:59.553
we are a partner with those who do.
