The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced the launch of America’s Seed Fund Road Tours. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs working on advanced technologies and America’s Seed Fund, a principal source of early-stage federal funding. Through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, the Seed Fund offers over $4 billion annually in non-dilutive funding across 11 federal agencies. The Road Tours are part of a national outreach campaign designed to directly connect innovators and entrepreneurs with federal agencies offering non-dilutive SBIR/STTR grants and contracts. This initiative is crucial for boosting entrepreneur engagement with entities that support and finance revolutionary innovations. The tours will commence with America’s Seed Fund Week, a virtual event, followed by four in-person tours covering 16 states and territories in 2024.
