Weapons Pitch Day

U.S. Air Force “Pitch Days” have been likened to the Air Force’s version of “Shark Tank” – as the event is focused on lowering the barrier to entry through accelerated, same-day contracting for entrepreneurs, technologists, small businesses, etc. – innovators who are intent on bringing cutting-edge ideas to the Air Force.

This year, the U.S. Air Force Armament Directorate’s third Pitch Day will be awarding $30M in funding to multiple small business innovators, with individual contracts valued at up to $1.8M each. This event will feature the top small business innovators pitching the Directorate early-stage, ‘low-maturity’ ideas – focused on our Six Innovation Targets.
