DOWNRANGE FOR INVESTORS
Source deals before they're announced
Demo days, earnings, policy windows, investor-track conferences. Downrange pulls from 20+ primary sources — SAM.gov, DOE FOAs, AFWERX, congressional schedules — aggregated into one calendar with an editorial take on what's worth your attention.
What you'll track
The events that move tough tech markets
Most deal flow comes from being in the right room at the right time. Downrange makes sure you know which rooms matter and when.
Demo days & showcases
Y Combinator, Techstars, AFWERX, HAX, and sector-specific accelerator demo days. Track who's presenting across the sectors you follow.
Earnings & announcements
Public tough tech company earnings, strategic announcements, and M&A signals tracked across energy, defense, space, and robotics.
Policy windows
Congressional hearings, executive orders, regulatory comment periods, and appropriations timelines that move entire sectors.
Investor-track conferences
Conferences with dedicated investor tracks, LP meetings, and fund networking events across deep tech verticals.
Government funding signals
SBIR/STTR award announcements, DOE FOA releases, DARPA program starts -- leading indicators of where capital is flowing.
Launch & milestone events
Rocket launches, satellite deployments, facility openings, and other milestone events that signal company traction.
Featured capability
Source depth: what major outlets skip
Downrange aggregates 20+ government, industry, and research sources that major tech publications don't routinely monitor. You get the event direct from the primary feed — not filtered through a reporter's editorial calendar.
DOE Hydrogen Hub Industry Day
Regional hydrogen hub finalists presenting technical approaches. 4 stealth-mode companies on agenda.
AFRL Autonomy Tech Sprint Demo
10 startups, $2M in follow-on contracts. Not listed on any public calendar.
SpaceX Starship Investor Update
Invite-only briefing for institutional investors. Production timeline update expected.
Sources the press doesn't read
SAM.gov solicitations, DOE funding opportunity announcements, AFWERX program notices, congressional hearing schedules — Downrange pulls from the primary sources directly so you see the event, not a reporter's summary of it.
Stealth company radar
Demo days and industry events often feature companies that haven't been covered by the press. Downrange flags these -- you see the company name and sector before the announcement cycle.
Sector-level pattern matching
When multiple events cluster in a sector -- a DOE FOA, followed by an industry day, followed by a congressional hearing -- Downrange connects the dots and surfaces the narrative.
