The federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs provide well over $2 billion of non-dilutive capital every year to small businesses developing high risk, high return technology-based products. The money is targeted specifically to fund R&D activities to reduce the technical risk, thereby helping to facilitate access to follow-on funding.
