SBIR Phase I  "Batting Average"
The SBIR Coach's Clients	over .300
National Average	under .150

*Note:  The SBIR Coach only takes on a limited number of "Phase I Rookies" each year.  Those who qualify are serious players who are ready and willing to do what it takes to achieve excellence and move from the Minor Leagues of Phase I and Phase II success into the Major Leagues of Commercialization (Phase III).

Winning a Phase I SBIR or STTR award is the first step in the path to successful commercialization of your technology.  There's a lot at stake.  The competition for these awards is fierce.  With, on average, only 15% of the submitted Phase I applications accepted for funding, the odds are against you. 

What does it take to win?  It takes a sound technical work plan to solve a problem that's important to the Agency, a strong team to execute the plan, a well thought out roadmap for commercialization, and, oh yes, an innovative approach!  And you have to express all of this with exquisite perfection in 25 pages or less!

Are you prepared to bet that your proposal will rise to the top of the stack on it's own merits?  Or are there some methods and techniques, known only to those who have "been there and done that", for presenting the story to the Agency that will give you a winning competitive advantage?   The SBIR Coach's Playbook is full of such "secrets"!

Remember, reviewers have to write reviews of all of proposals they receive.  They don't necessarily have to actually read the proposals!  Many reviews are written "on the skim".  Those are hardly ever funded!  

You want to submit a proposal that the reviewer will want to read thoroughly.  Having a Coach who knows what it takes to express complex technical concepts with clarity, conciseness, and conviction is the key.

Our record speaks for itself.  With a hit rate of double the average Phase I award percentage, The SBIR Coach will make that critical difference for your funding chances. 

· EASE your discomfort, and perhaps even your fear, of the seemingly overwhelming nature of "dealing with the federal government",

· TEACH you how to productively search for applicable topics and learn more about what’s wanted by the Agency,

· COACH you in how to write responsive, clearly articulated, and winning proposals,

· REVIEW and EDIT your work to raise the quality of your proposal and improve your chances of being funded,

· ASSIST in developing your budget for spending the money,

· ENSURE that you're following all of the rules, so that you don’t compromise your intellectual property position, and that your proposals are not disqualified for administrative reasons,

· GUIDE you through the complex electronic submission process,

· SHOW you where the "buttons" are to speed up grant or contract payments, and

· PARTICIPATE in ensuring follow-on Phase II & III successes.

WE KNOW THIS GAME!

Together we'll play it to win!
