DARPA hard

Posted by Becky McCray on Friday, February 05, 2010

DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, likes big challenges. They don't want to touch projects that are merely hard, or just really difficult. They only want to take on those that are so hard, so seemingly impossible, that no one else could solve them, no one else would ever invest in them. Challenges that big are called "DARPA hard."

Bill Reichert, from Garage Technologies Ventures, told that story at the National Association of Seed and Venture Funds Conference in Oklahoma City.

Look for your own "DARPA hard." Find the problems that are so hard, or so specialized, that you are the only one who can solve them.

Hmmm, "DARPA Hard"? I need to give that some thought.

You can call it "Glenda Hard." What are the challenges that are so hard, that you are the only one who will take them on? And we know you like to take on challenges!
