Thanks for putting this info summary up @cantsleepawink.

A real gold mine of information!

This whole Panda as a mascot for molested children meme is interesting, but I've been having a hard time assembling details.

One of the more curious things is that several states have mandated a program they call PANDA (Preventing Abuse and Neglect through Dental Awareness.) It's obvious they really struggled to figure out a program name they could use PANDA for as the acronym. Going to keep looking out for clues.

Situation Report: CIA venture group funds video recorder firm

On June 27, In-Q-Tel, the venture arm of the Central Intelligence Agency and other members of the United States intelligence community, announced a strategic partnership with Looxcie, makers of the first ever “wear and share” videocam recorders. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In-Q-Tel, created in 1999, is the foremost strategic investor on behalf of the US Intelligence Community. Originally called “Peleus”, In-Q-Tel was initially associated with the CIA’s Directorate of Science and Technology (DS&T).

The Report of the Independent Panel on the CIA In-Q-Tel Venture (2001) [pdf]

Unlike a true venture capital model, In-Q-Tel is more aptly described as a “technology accelerator,” seeking speed and agility in discovering innovative IT solutions for the Agency. In-Q-Tel differs from private venture capital models in the following ways. In-Q-Tel:

• Places its value proposition on obtaining IT solutions, not foremost on return on equity or asset;

• Deals always result in a product or service (e.g. feasibility assessment, test product or prototype);

• Investments are more likely to provide value to the portfolio companies beyond cash: - Investment is ”smart money” in its portfolio companies; that is, In-Q-Tel provides portfolio companies with intellectual capital, technology-related experience and the Agency as a potential test-bed; and

• Due diligence process is more strict: - In-depth investigation into the company’s structure and financial status as well as the ability of the proposed technology to meet the Agency problem domain is completely evaluated before forming a contract.
