SBIR Phase I

America's largest seed fund: USD 50k–$275k (≈ €45k–€250k) feasibility funding from federal agencies (NIH, DoD, DOE, NASA, NSF …). Eligibility is strict: a for-profit US small business (<500 employees), more than 50% owned and controlled by US citizens or permanent residents — European companies need a qualifying US subsidiary structure.

1. Describe the idea. Company name and a few sentences about the project — registration number and sector are fetched from the registry.
2. Check your chances. Granteon assesses the project against the criteria in SBIR Phase I and tells you honestly whether it can be won — before you write.
3. Write the application. The AI writes from your own facts, scores the draft like an award committee, and delivers it field by field within the portal's character limits.
4. Complete the financing. Your own contribution is calculated. You can obtain a signed conditional commitment from an investor, and find consortium partners when the call requires them.
5. Deliver and report. Reporting plan, draft reports and budget tracking after the award — until the final report is filed.
