“MTIP was my only help on my first grant which would have been too much to tackle on my own in the timeframe required. Without the SBIR, I would have had to take a job and not been able to start my company and explore this technology.”

“The STTR funding and state grants have allowed us to remain independent. We can focus on doing the research and have full control over our company and the time to pursue commercialization of a product.”

“The SBIR program is important because it helps companies develop novel technologies that are of interest to the company and use to government agencies.”

James Beck, Sunburst Sensors
