Getting and Finding Federal SBIR/STTR Grants

Looking to fund your startup without giving up equity?

Join us this December for a two-part webinar series focused on federal SBIR/STTR funding opportunities — designed for early-stage founders, particularly in healthtech, wearables, sensor and AI technologies.

Our first webinar focuses on finding the right grant opportunities. We’ll walk you through:

• How to find the right federal agency fit for your technology
• Typical project sizes, timelines, and phases (I, II, IIB)
• The full SBIR/STTR application lifecycle
• Strategies to strengthen your competitiveness
• Practical steps to help first-time applicants succeed

This session includes a live Q&A.

Presenter: Christine Howard, E.B. Howard Consulting: Since 2013, Christine has led E.B. Howard, which helps innovators unlock the power of non-dilutive funding to drive growth, validate impact and reduce investment risk. Her firm has crafted hundreds of grant proposals and their clients have collectively secured more than $450M in non-dilutive funding. She’s also proud to serve as a mentor and advisor in national programs like the National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program.
