He pointed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2020\/04\/01\/panel-wants-to-double-federal-spending-on-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence\u2019s<\/a> 2021 final report, which recommended major new investments in AI research and development, as an example of the emerging consensus around this need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we can find these capabilities and technologies, how can we be startup friendly?\u201d MacCarthy said. \u201cHow can we be founder friendly and help get these critical technologies into the public sector?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MacCarthy said the fund will first invest in firms concentrating on four core areas: artificial intelligence and machine learning; cybersecurity; so-called deep technology; and C5ISR, or command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep technology includes 5G, or fifth-generation network technology; augmented and virtual reality systems; and human performance technology to improve productivity and competence, MacCarthy explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fund, which could invest in companies working on other technologies in subsequent years, keys off Booz Allen\u2019s 7-year-old technical scouting division, MacCarthy said, which he headed for the last five years. This scouting program gave the company a window into where potential opportunities for considerable growth might be in emerging markets, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the company also needs to provide capital funding \u201cat digital speed,\u201d he said in the release announcing the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBooz Allen Ventures allows us to actively bridge the gap between opportunity and capability and accelerate the services-to-solutions transformation,\u201d he added. \u201cAs a strategic investor at the intersection of technology and mission, we are uniquely positioned to lead, connect and convene advanced tech solutions to drive change in government, faster than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In what MacCarthy described as \u201ctrial deals\u201d for this fund, Booz Allen last year invested in AI and machine learning firm Latent AI, and this spring followed up with investments in two more AI companies: Synthetaic and Reveal Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When deciding which companies to fund, Booz Allen Ventures will primarily consider how their capabilities and technologies could benefit Booz Allen\u2019s own R&amp;D processes and technical advancements. Booz Allen will also consider its own clients\u2019 technological needs by identifying customers\u2019 gaps that could be fixed by the startup firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Booz Allen plans to fund early-stage companies, MacCarthy said, it also wants them to have at least some technologies out of the lab and in the field to demonstrate their utility. Technologies that are several years from hitting the field, such as electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft, are \u201cjust too capital intensive and not the right strategic fit for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Booz Allen hopes this will be an evergreen fund, and that revenues generated by the companies it invests in will fund future investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis problem is certainly not going away, in getting critical and emerging technologies to the forefront,\u201d MacCarthy said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Booz Allen hopes to fund four to six emerging firms each year with its new venture capital fund, and reinvest money raised from those
