00:09.620 --> 00:11.842
the 75th Innovation Command was invited

00:11.842 --> 00:14.290
to the Fed supernova because we're co

00:14.290 --> 00:16.790
located with Army Futures Command and

00:16.790 --> 00:19.350
we interact on a continuous basis with

00:19.350 --> 00:22.640
academia , small businesses and the

00:22.640 --> 00:24.780
Capital Factory in our course of

00:24.790 --> 00:27.520
business here in Austin , these little

00:27.520 --> 00:29.770
collisions that just keep happening are

00:29.770 --> 00:31.826
fantastic . You meet someone in this

00:31.826 --> 00:34.610
industry or this area of expertise and

00:34.620 --> 00:36.787
who wants to collaborate with you . So

00:36.900 --> 00:38.980
I found great value in being in this

00:38.980 --> 00:41.036
type environment here at the Capital

00:41.036 --> 00:42.869
Factory . It's wonderful capital

00:42.869 --> 00:45.091
factors . Very simply put the center of

00:45.091 --> 00:47.313
gravity of entrepreneurship here in the

00:47.313 --> 00:49.536
state of texas . What we do is we bring

00:49.536 --> 00:51.369
together entrepreneurs investors

00:51.369 --> 00:54.110
academia together to help startups and

00:54.120 --> 00:56.290
expand their reach into the local

00:56.290 --> 00:58.346
community and local economies . It's

00:58.346 --> 01:00.520
important for the 75th to collaborate

01:00.520 --> 01:02.720
with academia and small businesses

01:02.730 --> 01:05.610
because it allows us to reach into the

01:05.610 --> 01:08.280
small populations of students and learn

01:08.280 --> 01:10.336
what they're learning and be able to

01:10.336 --> 01:12.280
collaborate with their expertise .

01:12.280 --> 01:14.910
Talked to University of texas in Dallas

01:14.920 --> 01:17.320
also talk to texas A and M and U . T .

01:17.320 --> 01:19.900
S . A . They're ready to commit now to

01:19.910 --> 01:21.910
partnering with the 75th , which is

01:21.910 --> 01:24.170
very exciting . But at the same time

01:24.370 --> 01:26.592
the small businesses have the same type

01:26.592 --> 01:29.350
of availability of their resources

01:29.360 --> 01:31.360
where we may be able to bring their

01:31.360 --> 01:33.416
knowledge and expertise and possibly

01:33.416 --> 01:35.527
get that into something that could go

01:35.527 --> 01:37.749
into full rate production . The reserve

01:37.749 --> 01:39.860
component brings a very special niche

01:39.860 --> 01:41.860
to D . O . D . We have our civilian

01:41.860 --> 01:44.200
side where people are rock stars , but

01:44.200 --> 01:46.380
we can also understand and translate .

01:46.820 --> 01:49.690
D . O . D . Turns for the civilian

01:49.690 --> 01:51.857
industry . And so when you bring those

01:51.857 --> 01:53.801
two things together , it's a great

01:53.801 --> 01:56.740
force . 75th Innovation Command are so

01:56.820 --> 01:58.487
important and integral to the

01:58.487 --> 02:00.709
development of this emerging technology

02:00.709 --> 02:03.042
ecosystem that we need you out in force .

02:03.042 --> 02:05.170
It's that expertise , that ability to

02:05.170 --> 02:08.130
Rosetta stone your knowledge in

02:08.130 --> 02:11.380
industry with the needs of the Army was

02:11.380 --> 02:13.602
so critical in helping to define future

02:13.602 --> 02:14.150
requirements .
