Non-dilutive SBIR/STTR funding may be a consideration. The government’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs make over $4 billion in high-risk\, non-dilutive capital available to innovative small companies annually\, but you have to propose a clearly defined R&D project that helps de-risk your technology in preparation for commercialization. \nThis virtual SBIR Webinar will provide an overview of the SBIR/STTR programs and how you can leverage your knowledge gained from customer discovery to build a compelling SBIR/STTR proposal. In this interactive workshop\, we’ll learn how to use data from customer discovery to come up with 1-3 clearly defined Technical Objectives related to product development for a Phase I application. The SBIR Webinar will also go over how to use data from market research and customer discovery to determine your quantitative metrics for success. \n[/vc_column_text]\n Register\n [/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://minnesotasbir.org/event/nsf-i-corps-hub-great-lakes-region-how-to-leverage-i-corps-for-sbir/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://minnesotasbir.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250320_how-to-leverage-i-corps-for-sbir_banner_2-768x432-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Great Lakes Regional I-Corps Hub":MAILTO:info@greatlakesicorps.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250605T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250605T140000 DTSTAMP:20260505T083638 CREATED:20250425T232746Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250425T232931Z UID:10000774-1749128400-1749132000@minnesotasbir.org SUMMARY:Office Hours: Preparing your NSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track Proposal DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″]NSF Office Hours:\nPreparing your NSF SBIR/STTR Fast-Track Proposal[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″]\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Date: June 5\, 2025\nTime: 1:00 PM CT \nNSF regularly hosts virtual Question and Answer sessions for startups and small businesses to learn about the program and the proposal submission process.
