Increasing your odds:
- Increasing the initial odds: The odds of a grant
proposal getting funded in an SBIR or similar program is typically in
the 7% range. And many of the failures end up being proposals that
are non-compliant or non-responsive to the proposal
requirements. They never even get to the evaluators. Our application
review process reduces non-compliance, while our marketing support
process reduces failures to address. This plus assistance in writing,
budget, and other areas increases your odds of success.
- Land and expand: It's likely not just one grant you will
be proposing with our services. Once you get the first proposal in to
the government, we will be wanting to do more of them, typically at
the rate of one per quarter or more. We can provide a steady stream
of increasing funds to do your R&D and fill the government's needs to
advance their capabilities and our country's.
- Execution: Strong execution in all aspects of our work
for you and your work for the government is critical to success over
time. We help in the nitty gritty of paperwork and supporting the
process elements of grant execution. You will find our project
support, both in proposing and executing on grants to be top
flight.

Decreasing your effort:
- Avoiding unforced errors: Our review processes,
cheklists, and other specialized support technologies are designed to
help our people and yours get everything done on time and within the
rules. Unlike many things in life, getting government grants is a case
of ask permission, not forgiveness. When we help you, every once in a
while when you need forgiveness, you are more likely to get
it.
- Taking the load off: Handling all the little details
of grant proposals is a significant load on most companies. It may
take you 300 or more hours of effort to get a grant proposal in the
first time, and plenty of time even when you get used to the
process. Our services take the load off of you so you can focus on what
you do best and we can focus on what we do best.
- Execution efficiency: Efficiency in execution makes
everything run more smoothly. Fewer mistakes means fewer retries.
More clarity around what happens when, means you can be prepared
instead of fighting fires. Keeping good records and track makes it
easier to do the next grant and less likely that you will miss
something important. Our custom software platform is designed for
getting grants, saving time, and making the process work better.

Professionalism: We are professionals. That means we are on
time, and we do what we say we are going to do. Nobody's perfect. But we
set our standards high and you can expect that we will get the job done.
Plan, do, check, act. We plan with you, we do what we say we
will do, we check to make sure we are doing it, and we act to fix
things when they start to go awry.
