We are one piece of the SBIR/STTR pie
America’s Seed Fund is coordinated by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), which provides resources and support to the NASA SBIR/STTR program and 10 other participating Federal agencies. The SBA tracks SBIR/STTR awards across the government, provides helpful program information, hosts frequent virtual and in-person events, and offers connections to others in the innovation ecosystem who may be able to help you if you need support outside of the NASA SBIR/STTR program.
