InterKn was founded on the ideal that government SBIR/STTR investment spurs innovation. Businesses are currently lacking the ability to research companies to invest in, partner with, or acquire stemming from this investment. InterKn's patent pending online Software as a Service (SaaS) platform combines powerful analytics and machine learning to analyze government Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Technology Transfers Research (STTR) Awards. With a database of technology companies receiving these venture awards dating back to 1983, InterKn has dissected, scrubbed, and simplified this information for businesses to obtain new awards, making strategic investments/acquisitions, and license available technology. InterKn was acquired by ByteCubed in 2018.
