“40 Ways to Improve Your SBIR Proposal”
Helping Technology Businesses Learn to Improve their Chances of Receiving SBIR or STTR Funding
Silicon Slopes, UT (July 20, 2020) – The VentureWrench™ Startup Community from Enclavix™, LLC today announced its free guide to help entrepreneurs considering applying for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding, “40 Ways to Improve Your SBIR Proposal.“
Enclavix has been awarded over $1.2 million in SBIR funding and our co-founder and CEO has has served as an SBIR reviewer on over a dozen review panels As an experienced Phase I and Phase II SBIR reviewer, she has seen so many unnecessary mistakes kill an otherwise quality proposal. She began to write them down to help other proposing teams improve their chance of SBIR success!
In her real world experience, she found that the majority of SBIR proposals reviewed were unfundable because of avoidable mistakes.
The guide helps to will answer questions such as:
♦ Aren’t many agency’s solicitations the same every time? Do I really have to read the solicitation each time?
♦ Do reviewers care really care if you can take a product to market? Isn’t SBIR or STTR funding really just research funding?
♦ According to a Program Director, how can you move from an average10% win rate to a 60% chance of funding in just two moves?
♦ Should you max out your proposed budget or leave a little room under the cap?
♦ How does the IPO market impact startup funding?
♦ Do your Phase II reviewers have access to your Phase I Proposal?
♦ What happens to your proposal if the Program Director says, “the PI is not coachable”?
Nicole Toomey Davis said, “Competition in SBIR is heating up, and will get even more fierce as the economy struggles and other sources of capital dry up. During the last recession, applications for SBIR and STTR funds doubled or tripled depending upon the agency! “
