What We Do
We’ll validate the problem and a solution with real users without asking too much of you. We’ll also grease the transition pathway so the solution doesn’t wind up sitting on a shelf.
Through programs like H4D®, we connect the brightest students to real world problems, expanding the network of talent working towards the public good.
We partner with more than 60 universities and government agencies in three countries (US, UK, and Australia), and the Common Mission Project, to teach students innovation methods while they solve mission critical problems.
These programs have already created over 68 dual-use companies.
Begin Morning Nautical Twilight is the time just prior to sunrise. Navigators have the best visibility, and can more easily see the pathway forward. From a military perspective, BMNT is the moment in time when, in good conditions, enough light is available to conduct high impact operations. We draw inspiration from this to create the conditions that quickly lead to meaningful results for those you serve.
We are a prime or subcontractor on the GSA Schedule and flexible IDIQs and OTAs. We can accommodate task orders, purchase orders, R&D and O&M funds, and we can execute contracts in two weeks to two months.
We are also a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
Yes. We reserve capacity for 2-3 pilot projects each year so organizations can test our capabilities.
You can also engage with our methods by sponsoring a problem in one of our academic programs.
The Innovation Pipeline® is an end-to-end framework for teams to select and advance the right opportunities through discovery and experimentation. It clarifies how and why specific methods and tools can be useful for government teams at scale, whether you are using agile development, design thinking, change management, Scrum, and more.
HACKING 4 "X" (H4X)® is our problem-centric approach for making rapid progress through transition points. It was designed for government program managers to connect activities from the invention of an idea to the adoption of a new capability.
Both are in use at diverse organizations like the Office of Naval Research, Advanced Research Project Agency for Health (ARPA-H), Defense Logistics Agency, Transportation Security Administration, Defense Intelligence Agency, Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office, and more.
Innovation Intelligence is a service in which diverse inputs related to innovation challenges and opportunities, specifically within the context of Innovation Operations, are systematically integrated and analyzed in order to inform decision making. It entails management of information feedback loops, studies/analysis, market information, and compilation/analysis of evaluations, experiments, and prototypes. The purpose of Innovation Intelligence is to facilitate the integration and analysis of a wide array of disparate data related to Government challenges and emerging opportunities, enabling the extraction of actionable insights to inform and drive the innovation projects forward.
Are you ready to break through the bureaucracy?
Prove it.
BMNT doesn’t just talk. We take action. Here’s the deal: Bring us a critical problem that’s stuck in government inertia. We’ll work with you for 90 days to break the first barrier. No red tape. No excuses. Just results. If we can’t help in 90 days, we won’t waste your time. If we can, we’ll tell you exactly how to execute. Ready to move? Submit your challenge here. If it’s urgent enough, we’ll take it on.
