Raise anywhere from $150k to $2M of “free” federal government funding for your startup
How to write winning SBIR proposals (of 100 proposals only 5-10 are typically accepted)
The biggest US Government agencies are mandated to fund small businesses and startups developing needed technologies with roughly $4 Billion per year.
This is “free” funding to commercialize your deep technology research – meaning you don’t sell shares and it’s not a loan but you do have to deliver towards your promises, so it’s not a gift.
