Why sponsor

Stand where it happens.

Watchtower brings together the founders building in the national interest and the military leaders who decide what the country needs. Most companies never get near that room. Sponsoring puts your name alongside theirs and gives your team a place in it.

01

Proximity to the mission

Close to the military community and the leaders who shape what the country needs, so your team reads the priorities firsthand.

02

Pipeline and partnerships

The founders and investors building in the national interest, in one place. These become your partners and your pipeline.

03

Talent that's hard to reach

A direct line to veterans and technical founders for the roles hardest to fill.

04

A position in the market

Your brand stands with the mission and the people driving it. In a market this new, showing up here puts you ahead.

Where the money goes

Sponsorship and gifts fund the Arsenal incubator and the programs that connect the military community with founders building in the national interest.

Inside the Arsenal, transitioning service members develop the business knowledge to turn what they know into a company. Your support helps them launch new startups and brings new industry and investment into North Carolina.
