We have another #SBIRPhaseI round coming at us just around the corner, so I wanted to break down a few key reasons we really like to see this type of funding as an "on-ramp" to bigger DoD dollars: At Long Capture, we see three main advantages to the SBIR/STTR programs: 1) Non-Dilutive Capital. Unlike many commercial means of funding, with an SBIR grant, you do not give up equity in your company. What the government gets in return from the R&D effort is a product that benefits the warfighter. 2) Dual-Use Commercialization. With a solution that benefits and is sold to the government as well as the commercial industry, you can dip into two markets simultaneously, helping to de-risk the solution for government stakeholders while still allowing your company to scale your technology much faster. 3) Sole-Source Eligibility. The biggest prize from a Phase I win is sole-source eligibility. This system allows companies to bypass some of the tedious processes for doing business with the government and provides the opportunity to shorten acquisitions timelines from years to months or, in some cases, even weeks, compared to the traditional competitive process.

Due to overwhelming response, I wanted to clarify a bunch of common questions and make an announcement about the Department of Defense SBIR Tech Expo: 1. The big addition/change up front: We're going to be hosting a #SBIR 101 + #OTA 101 sessions during one of the days of the event, which reduces our total presentation capacity from 400 to 320 [GET YOUR REGISTRATIONS IN EARLY!]. These 101 sessions will be open to ALL industry and government. Gov folks you do not need to submit a different registration, the current one will work. Industry folks- if you're interested in attending, complete the link at the form below! 2. General eligibility: It's called the "DoD SBIR Tech Expo" but it is open to completed/in-progress data- and ai-related SBIR projects, STTR projects, and projects completed by Non-Traditional Contractor OTAs. The industry form reflects this but we've received feedback that the wording is a bit confusing. 3. Multi-awardees: You can submit a presentation for up to THREE different projects. Each one of the presentations will be given their own 30 minute time slot across the days of the event, not necessarily on the same day and session. 4. Awardable/Not funded or Phase 1 verification: For projects that were A/NF, put the information of the customer and TPOCs that you were planning to work with on your submission. For completed Phase 1s without a customer, use DoDSBIRExpoHotline@groups.af.mil as your TPOC and forward the latest notification you received about the acceptance of your project/milestones directly to this email address.
