Do you need funding to develop your high risk innovation?

Top Reasons You Should Care About the Federal Funding from the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) & Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Programs:

• Over $2.2 billion set aside for small businesses each year
• Not a loan—no repayment, no matching funds
• Provides seed money for high-risk projects
• Provides credibility and potential leverage to attract venture capital and other sources of funding
• Intellectual property (almost always) resides with small business
• 74 Hawaii companies have won 325 SBIR & STTR awards totaling $78 million and have brought in another $58 million in commercialization dollars
