In-Q-Tel momentopname
Just where do spies go to get their toys? Well, James Bond had "Q," and the CIA has In-Q-Tel. While it doesn't deal in exploding pens or cars equipped with missiles, this not-for-profit venture capital firm does keep the CIA and the broader US intelligence community equipped with the latest in information technology by investing in innovative high-tech companies. Originally named "Peleus" and renamed after the above-mentioned "007" series character, In-Q-Tel was formed in 1999 to help the CIA keep pace with the rapid technological advances of the private sector, an increasingly daunting task.
