Why Sell to the Government? What if there’s a faster, easier way to get in? What if you could secure government contracts without competition? That’s where the SBIR Program and the Open Topic Process come in. With a small initial contract (think $75K Phase I), you could unlock direct contracting authority—giving you the power to sell to the government without hurdles or competition. This video breaks it all down! Watch now to learn how you can make the U.S. government your next big client—and reach out to The Outpost at [email protected] to learn how we can guide you to success. #GovSales #SBIRProgram #BusinessGrowth #TheOutpost

We love partnering with innovative companies like Natrion Inc., a leader in battery technology that's pushing boundaries in energy storage! Earlier this year, Natrion made waves with their Lithium Solid Ionic Composite (LISIC) — a game-changing solid-state material that replaces flammable liquid electrolytes in rechargeable lithium batteries. The result? Unmatched safety and performance improvements. What makes LISIC even more impressive? It’s a drop-in solution that integrates seamlessly into existing battery giga-factories at no extra cost. A true win for innovation and scalability! Natrion's revolutionary work earned them an Edison Awards, a prestigious recognition for excellence in innovation and business achievement. #Innovation #BatteryTechnology #EnergyStorage #EdisonAwards #Natrion #TheOutpost

Well, folks, Halloween Happy Hour at The Outpost was a scream! Turns out, we’re not all work and deadlines – sometimes we put down the laptops and pick up the costume wigs! From Bob Ross (Scott Arenholz) painting “happy little trees” on napkins to the Disco Queen (Jacquelyn Charters) and King (Joey Arora) grooving in platform shoes and sequin jackets, we had every kind of character you could imagine (and a few we probably shouldn’t). Highlights? Mermaid Man (Justin Emerson) made a splash, Michael Myers (Mike Brown, MBA) stayed suspiciously close to the bar, and a New Zealand peace activist (Kevin M.) kept things super chill (with an accent, of course). Oh, and let’s not forget the priest (Linh Hoang) who tried to keep us all in line – bless his heart, he had his hands full! Cheers to costumes, contests, and games that brought out our wild side. Can’t wait to see what we come up with next year. Until then, we’re back to normal… sort of. ? #TheOutpostHalloween #NotAllWork
