Frequently asked questions
Why would a company want to partner instead of pursuing the award themselves?
Many awardees lack the resources, relationships, or infrastructure to transition their tech — but still want to see it used in real programs.
Can we use their tech in our own proposal?
Yes — with proper teaming agreements and rights in data, you can propose their solution as part of your offering, boosting technical value and PWin.
What if we’re a small business ourselves?
No problem. We often help small-to-small teams form SBIR-driven partnerships that punch above their weight.

We don’t just advise — we embed with your team, help shape opportunities before they hit SAM.gov, and drive strategy with the same urgency and ownership as an internal BD lead.
