There are many reasons why small, innovative technology companies are struggling with the “Valley of Death,” which has become a battle cry for companies coping with the tough and difficult Defense Market.
Consider the mix of organizations like AFWERX, DARPA, DIU, AAL, NASA, Space Force, DHS, DoE, NSF and other U.S. Federal Agencies that provide R&D grants and contracts (SBIR/STTR and BAA) and other vehicles to attract and encourage technology companies to play. There is more opportunity in the Defense market today than ever.
An element of PMG's business is to provide Technology companies access to various investment and funding sources - most of which support diluted approaches.
With PMG's acceptance to the Eagle Point Funding Referral Program – we can now extend our Investor Development capabilities to provide both diluted and non-diluted approaches.
Eagle Point Funding helps clients win non-dilutive funding for the development of technology within the fields of energy, defense, artificial intelligence, robotics, cyber security, advanced materials, and other deep technology fields.
Ed Hennessy - PMG's CEO cited “the Eagle Point program allows us to broaden the Investment Development Program for our clients with an alternative approach – non-diluted funding – provided by a solid, Industry source. We can now provide clients the option of a diluted and non-diluted solution. We also like the fact that Eagle Point Funding works with the client company for the whole journey – consistent with the PMG approach.”
