9-HI is backed by key leaders in technology development
“Technology selection can be hard. I’m so impressed with Dave Mroczka and 9-HI™’s vision to optimize investments in the right technology areas that I immediately introduced him to our Microsoft for Startups team. I can’t wait to see what they deploy next.”
Anupam Gupta
CTO, Aerospace and Defense Microsoft Federal
“The development of 9-HI™ as presented to me as an AI-based, Product & Technology Collaboration Platform accessible by all levels of the DoD services and industry/academia represents a very powerful new capability to accellerate new technology development and/or deployment to our warfighters.”
Charlie Zisette
Executive Director
National Armaments Consortium
