InterKn is a small IT services and consulting firm based in Arlington, Virginia, established to harness government SBIR and STTR programs to spur innovation. It offers a patent-pending software-as-a-service platform that uses analytics and machine learning to analyze these government awards. The platform assembles and refines a long-running database of technology companies that have received SBIR/STTR awards dating back to 1983, presenting these insights to support new awards, partnerships, investments, or licensing of technology. Its target customers are firms seeking to invest in, partner with, or acquire technologies that emerge from SBIR/STTR-funded ventures. By providing structured, data-driven views of award activity, InterKn helps clients navigate the government-funded technology landscape for strategic decisions. In 2018, InterKn was acquired by ByteCubed, which integrated its capabilities into its broader technology-focused operations.
