Overview
The SBIR/STTR program, often referred to as “America’s Seed Fund”, provides over $17B in funding for emerging technologies addressing our most pressing challenges.
This REPORT and accompanying DATASETS AND DASHBOARD provides deep insights, by technology areas, on which use cases are being funded, who is investing in them, which companies are winning, and which regions are emerging as the new hotbeds of innovation.
Who is report/data for:
- SBIR/STTR teams and policy makers, to guide overall program design and investment decisions.
- Government innovation managers to understand use cases and technologies being funded and to improve collaboration among programs with similar needs.
- Startups and emerging companies to know how government is investing and identify program offices.
Key questions covered include:
- Which critical technologies are government programs investing in?
- What use cases and needs is technology addressing?
- What types of investments are being commercialized and lead to commercial capital (in progress)?
- What companies, overall and underserved, make up the portfolio, by tech category, use cases and geography?

What Others are Saying About the Report and Analysis
This is a terrific report. We're going to share internally. Is it okay to share external to the DoD. There are more than a handful of companies that would find this useful.
Director at Defense Innovation Unit
This is some of the best work I’ve ever seen using taxonomies and unstructured data! Imagine, applying this same analysis to millions all investments by region and people.
Executive Director, University of Chicago Center for Impact Sciences
This is fantastic data! We certainly would like a briefing.
