{{pic|File:Logo of In-Q-Tel (2010).svg|Logo as of 2010|100px}}
Originally named Peleus and known as In-Q-It, In-Q-Tel was "the brainchild" of former Director of Central Intelligence [[George Tenet]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rosen |first1=Jeffrey |title=Silicon Valley's Spy Game |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/14/magazine/silicon-valley-s-spy-game.html |access-date=9 June 2025 |work=New York Times |date=14 April 2002 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250521105309/https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/14/magazine/silicon-valley-s-spy-game.html |archive-date=21 May 2025 |language=en |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Gilman Louie]] was In-Q-Tel's first CEO<ref name="Hoover's"/><ref name="powers_jablonski"/> and [[Norm Augustine]], a former CEO of [[Lockheed Martin]], led the board of directors.<ref name="yannuzzi">{{cite web|last=Yannuzzi|first=Rick E.|date=2000|title=In-Q-Tel: A new partnership between the CIA and the private sector |url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/intelligence-history/in-q-tel|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170307152354/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/intelligence-history/in-q-tel|archive-date=March 7, 2017|access-date=July 7, 2021|publisher=Central Intelligence Agency|issn=1061-6845}}</ref> In-Q-Tel's mission is to identify and invest in companies developing cutting-edge technologies that serve United States [[national security]] interests.

In-Q-Tel now engages with [[entrepreneur]]s, growth companies, researchers, and venture capitalists to deliver technologies that provide superior capabilities for the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]], [[Defense Intelligence Agency|DIA]], [[National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency|NGA]], and the wider [[United States Intelligence Community|intelligence community]].<ref name=IQT>{{cite web|title=Technology Focus|url=https://www.iqt.org/technology-focus/|publisher=In-Q-Tel|access-date=14 August 2014|quote=IQT is focused on new and emerging commercial technologies that have the potential to give the CIA and broader U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) mission-advantage today and in the future.

Former CIA director [[George Tenet]] said,

<blockquote>We [the CIA] decided to use our limited dollars to leverage technology developed elsewhere. In 1999 we chartered ... In-Q-Tel. ... While we pay the bills, In-Q-Tel is independent of CIA. CIA identifies pressing problems, and In-Q-Tel provides the technology to address them. The In-Q-Tel alliance has put the Agency back at the leading edge of technology ... This ... collaboration ... enabled CIA to take advantage of the technology that Las Vegas uses to identify corrupt card players and apply it to [[link analysis]] for terrorists [<nowiki/>[[cf.]] the parallel [[Data mining|data-mining]] effort by the [[United States Special Operations Command|SOCOM]]-[[Defense Intelligence Agency|DIA]] operation [[Able Danger]]], and to adapt the technology that online booksellers use and convert it to scour millions of pages of documents looking for unexpected results.<ref>{{citation|author=George Tenet|title=At The Center Of The Storm: My Years at the CIA|publisher=Harper Press|year=2007|page=26}}</ref>

In August 2006, In-Q-Tel reviewed more than 5,800 business plans and invested approximately $150M in more than 90 companies.<ref name="Hoover's"/><ref>[http://www.iqt.org/invest/index.htm In-Q-Tel website: Investing in our National Security.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106093820/http://www.iqt.org/invest/index.htm |date=2012-11-06 }}  Obtained August 2006.</ref>

As of 2016, In-Q-Tel listed 325 investments, but more than 100 were secret, according to the [[Washington Post]].<ref name="Paletta2016" />

==Governance==
In-Q-Tel is a Virginia-registered corporation,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=96680 |title=In-Q-Tel Bloomberg Company Overview |website=[[Bloomberg News]] |access-date=2017-06-20 |archive-date=2019-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190629011218/https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=96680 |url-status=live }}</ref> legally independent of the CIA or any other government agency. The corporation is bound by its Charter agreement and annual contract with the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]], which set out the relationship between the two organizations. In-Q-Tel's mission (to support the Intelligence Community's technical needs) is promoted by the In-Q-Tel Interface Center (QIC), an office within the CIA that facilitates communication and relationships between In-Q-Tel and government intelligence organizations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/intelligence-history/in-q-tel |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905090735/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/intelligence-history/in-q-tel |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 5, 2015 |title=In-Q-Tel: A New Partnership Between the CIA and the Private Sector |access-date=2017-06-20}}</ref> While In-Q-Tel is a nonprofit corporation, it differs from [[IARPA]] and other models in that its employees and trustees can profit from its investments. A [[Wall Street Journal]] investigation found that in 2016, nearly half of In-Q-Tel's trustees had a financial connection with a company the corporation had funded.<ref name="Paletta2016" /> 

In-Q-Tel's current president and CEO is Steve Bowsher.
