Like Shark Tank, contestants will make a product pitch for $500,000, then sprint for 30 days to launch their breakthrough tech. Then they will take it to the field and iterate with soldiers for another month to improve their product. Our goal under Fuse is to contract with startups that have never ever worked with the United States army before in just 60 to 70 days. For companies we have worked with that have prototype level entries, we want a contract in 10 and start soldier iterations in 30 to 45 days. We train like we fight. (10:26–10:37)
