Since 2013, we have helped organizations secure more than $60 million in grant funding. We have experience in developing and crafting high-quality highly-competitive proposals to foundations, corporate grantmakers, and government funders at every level. We are often asked about our track record regarding Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/ Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) and economic development. The following are SOME of our recent successes where we have partnered with our clients to secure funding.

On average, we provide a return of ~$58 for every $1 spent on SBIR/STTR Phase I proposal preparation costs. For other federal funding, outside of SBIR/STTR – where the proposal budgets are multi-year, we provide a return well over a $100 for every $1 spent.

Please note – We are still in the process of collecting outcomes from clients as they notify us.
