Learn About Us and the SBIR/STTR Programs
MNSBIR, Inc. sits at the intersection of government, industry, and academia, helping startups and small businesses access America’s Seed Fund (SBIR/STTR) and other federal R&D funding opportunities. As a private, independent nonprofit organization, we offer free and confidential one-on-one business and technical assistance.
Our support is personalized to meet your specific needs—matching you with the right agency, program, research project, and team to align with your business goals. To help you begin, we provide the MNSBIR, Inc. Overview—a roadmap for planning your journey into federal R&D funding.
Federal R&D funding, particularly through the SBIR/STTR programs, is rarely straightforward. Success takes time, effort, and strategic planning. That’s where we come in. MNSBIR helps you navigate the complexities, offering tools, resources, and expert guidance to improve your chances of success.
Before you commit, it’s important to fully understand the landscape. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive presentation that introduces the SBIR/STTR programs, highlights the funding agencies involved, and outlines the full range of support services we offer at MNSBIR.
