“Fred is the best asset any company can have when writing an SBIR/STTR proposal. He is very experienced and knowledgeable and helps formulate a strategy that maximizes your chances of winning. I have worked with Fred on two proposals and on both, he was instrumental in helping us submit a solid proposal. Thanks Fred.”

“Thanks to your excellent coaching, the proposal was a real winner and has become the gold standard in our organization.”

"The SBIR coach has been one of the foundations to our success in winning SBIR proposals.  We have raised nearly $6M in SBIR funding to date and sleep very well at night knowing that our innovations can be clearly communicated to the reviewers at NIH."

Will Rosellini, CEO
MicroTransponder, Inc.

"I've spent an entire career navigating the nightmarish NIH bureaucracy, mostly successfully. This time, though, with your coaching, the process was simple and smooth. Thanks, Fred. I look forward to getting funded on Phase I and working with you on Phase II."

Dr. Margaret Weis, President
Leading Edge Pharmaceuticals
Amarillo, Texas

“In the past we have co-authored grants, engaged consultants, and authored proposals on our own. This proposal was the smoothest and the best to-date. Your expertise was comforting and your conscientiousness was contagious. Thank you. Let’s win this Phase I and start work on a Phase II.”

Mark Pydynowski, President

"I credit our success to Fred Patterson's help and to his expert navigation of our SBIR Phase II proposal re-submission to the NIH.  He is ethical, intuitive, responsive, highly intelligent and motivated.  He is, in addition, an ardent advocate of the SBIR program and keeps us informed and involved."

"I want you to know that without your extraordinary skill and knowledge, I would never have gotten off first base. You personify the word "coach" in that you bring out the very best in all those that you meet. You will definitely be central to my team on all future work. You know how to pull all the loose ends together, and then put the finishing touches on wordsmithing that clinches the deal.  Many thanks for all you have done and for all that you will do for me in the future."

James P. Von Wolske, President

"Fred brings tremendous expertise to the SBIR process. Beyond his contracted service, Fred will go out of his way to provide his clients with any additional help they may need. I would highly recommend Fred with no reservations."

“Thank you for your excellent work and great attitiude. It would not have happened without you."

“Fred was extraordinarily helpful in helping us think through our [NIH] project and to define its parameters in ways which he thought would be most likely to win us an award.  Further, we all agree that, without Fred's guidance, counsel and ability to calm a number of very nervous people, we would not have been able to submit the Application in a timely way in order to meet the December 1 deadline.”
