Key Considerations for SBIR/STTR (government-wide)
18
Non-dilutive funding (but, if a contract, there may be deliverables) – usually ONLY for R&D, usually at the early (prototype or earlier) stage
Small businesses keep their technology and resulting IP
No unified process or timeline, document-driven
Lead times (esp. until “the big money”) can be long
Drivers are toward higher funding levels, and higher emphasis on commercialization (esp. private-sector)
![Page 19: PowerPoint Presentation · Key Considerations for SBIR/STTR (government-wide) 18 Non-dilutive funding (but, if a contract, there may be deliverables) – usually ONLY for R&D, usually](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052015/602c61d34b486055901e34ac/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

History of SBIR at NSF 20
Program originated by NSF in 1970’s, Congress mandated government-wide in 1982
Total: 10,000 investments, $1.7 billion
Companies with EARLY NSF SBIR support include QualComm, Symantec, Intralase
![Page 21: PowerPoint Presentation · Key Considerations for SBIR/STTR (government-wide) 18 Non-dilutive funding (but, if a contract, there may be deliverables) – usually ONLY for R&D, usually](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052015/602c61d34b486055901e34ac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Our Sweet Spot 21
Who: Small, early-stage businesses/start-ups aiming to become scalable, commercial revenue-driven entities
What: High-risk, high-impact technology with significant commercialization potential
Stage: Seed or pre-seed stage investment before (or in conjunction with) friends/family or angels
Angle: Non-dilutive R&D funding to de-risk the technology – and enable the next step
![Page 22: PowerPoint Presentation · Key Considerations for SBIR/STTR (government-wide) 18 Non-dilutive funding (but, if a contract, there may be deliverables) – usually ONLY for R&D, usually](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052015/602c61d34b486055901e34ac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Not a Good Fit 22
Contract R&D as a business model
SBIR/STTR funding as a business model
Our funding won’t “move the needle”
Technology is proven, needs “tweaking”
No technology
![Page 23: PowerPoint Presentation · Key Considerations for SBIR/STTR (government-wide) 18 Non-dilutive funding (but, if a contract, there may be deliverables) – usually ONLY for R&D, usually](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052015/602c61d34b486055901e34ac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How It Works 23
Two phases of funding: 4-6 months to decide at each phase
Phase I: $150-225k grant for 6-12 months of R&D
Phase II: $750k grant for 24 months of R&D
… plus up to another $500k (at Phase II) with qualifying third-party “match” investment

General Advice 25
Understand NSF SBIR’s unique perspective
Don’t sweat topics or “our needs”
Use SBIR/STTR as one piece of the puzzle
Start early (in terms of date, AND in terms of stage)
Get comfortable with paper!
