Strong proposals get funded.
For 42 years, America’s Seed Fund – SBIR/STTR Programs has awarded over $65 billion to small businesses, helping them transform their ideas into marketable products and services. Through a competitive process, 11 Federal agencies provide early-stage non-dilutive R & D funding to small businesses, enabling them to develop a technology and chart a path toward its commercialization.
America’s Seed Fund sets aside over $4.5 billion dollars annually for small businesses, but only 5,000 businesses get funded each year. The SBIR/STTR process is complex and competitive; you can’t afford to navigate it alone.
