Eligibility checker

Are you actually fundable? Five questions.

No email required, no sales sequence. This is the same screening our consultants run at the start of a call, so you can get an honest read before you book one.

Question 1 of 50%

1.Is your company a US-incorporated, for-profit small business?

SBIR/STTR requires a US for-profit entity with 500 or fewer employees, majority owned by US citizens or permanent residents.

2.Does your project involve genuine technical risk?

2 of 5

Federal reviewers fund research where the outcome is not certain. Integration work or a straightforward app build will not score.

3.Where is the technology today?

3 of 5

4.Do you have a technical lead who will work on the project?

4 of 5

The Principal Investigator must be primarily employed by your company at the time of award for SBIR.

5.When do you need the funding?

5 of 5

Federal awards take time. Phase I typically funds 6 to 12 months after you start writing.
