Hello from a new defense contractor in Atlanta!

**GTechie** · 07-15-2010 12:26 PM

I started Defense Research Corporation to pursue my own inventions, which range from military hardware to infrastructural innovations to humanitarian & disaster response equipment. I'm also pursuing SBIR proposals and looking for STTR partnership opportunities. I'm also interested in partnerships or licensing of some of my creations to the larger defense companies for manufacturing, as innovation and development is where my passion lies

I'm relatively young, but my dad is an entrepreneur and has successfully run his business for over 20 years now. I have learned a ton from him, but it was also enough to realize how vast a sea I am swimming in. I joined here because I have a burning passion to see this company through and my work take flight, and shamelessly picking your brains will help me to achieve that!

Good luck man welcome to the boards

Welcome to YE! I find your industry extremely interesting. Do you have any products on the market now?

Thank you for the welcome(s), gentlemen!

@Encrypted: I'm extremely excited. I've worked in one small niche of the industry before and LOVED it. I do not have any products "out there" yet, as the vast majority are somewhere between the idea and 3D model stage. I've got some opportunities to strengthen my foundation over the next 6-12 months, which should let me market my system designs directly and seek out a small amount of capital investment. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here!
