Take the Next Step in Your Funding Journey.
As a recipient of federal R&D funding, you’ve already demonstrated the ingenuity and resilience required to navigate complex programs like SBIR and STTR. But advancing through successive phases of funding or scaling your groundbreaking technology can feel like an equally demanding challenge.
At MNSBIR, we understand the unique needs of established innovators like you. Whether you’re seeking additional funding to propel your research, developing a commercialization strategy to bring your discoveries to market, or addressing compliance requirements, we’re here to guide you.
Our expert guidance is designed to amplify your efforts, support your goals, and foster the collaborations necessary for success. We act as a trusted partner, offering the tools and insights to help you scale to the next level and get you on track for making real-world impact.
Companies in the existing awardee category typically:
- Have experience with federal programs such as SBIR/STTR.
- Secured funding from SBIR/STTR.
- Are seeking additional funding to continue or expand their research efforts, advance to the next funding phase (e.g., Phase II or Phase III), or explore new projects.
- Require support with commercialization strategies, scaling their projects, and navigating ongoing grant management and compliance.
- Need assistance with market analysis, business planning, securing private investment, partnerships, and scaling production.
- Often leverage investor funding coupled with additional Phase II funding to support technology deployment and commercialization efforts.
If this sounds like you, here are your next steps:
- Apply to the Catalyst Program. If your firm was awarded a Phase I, Phase II, Fast Track, or Direct to Phase II funding without our help, then apply to the Catalyst Program using our online form.
- Learn about our Transition Program. If your firm has completed its Phase II project, we offer a Transition Program to support businesses in advancing beyond SBIR/STTR Phase II toward a sustainable, revenue-generating commercialization pathway. Learn more to see if this program is right for you.
