Quad Chart 101 Workshop: Turning Innovation Into Opportunity

Are you an innovator, technologist, or small business founder curious about how your ideas could support the Navy mission? Join Matchstick Lab and NW Tech Bridge for an interactive 90-minute session that will give you the tools and context you need to engage effectively with the Department of Defense.

What you’ll gain:

• A practical introduction to Quad Charts — the one-page tool that turns your concept into a clear, fundable pitch.
• Insights into contracting & alternative acquisition pathways (SBIR, OTA, CSO, pilots) that open doors for small businesses to work with the Navy.
• Hands-on practice developing your Unique Value Proposition, with real-time feedback from Navy and Tech Bridge experts.
• The chance to connect with fellow founders and innovators who are also working to bring new solutions into the defense innovation space.

Why attend?This is an interactive, hands-on workshop. You’ll walk away with a draft Quad Chart in hand, sharper language to describe your value, and direct guidance on how to take the next step. You’ll also expand your network—meeting both Navy-connected experts and peer innovators—and leave with resources to keep moving forward.Questions: Contact Mitch Koonz at [email protected]
