Unlocking Federal Funding: An Intro to SBIR and STTR
Some of our greatest technological breakthroughs have come out of defense contracts. From jet engines to plasma transfusions, small private-sector companies have a rich history of developing pivotal new technologies. Often developed initially for government use, many have ultimately revolutionized both the military and civilian markets. This synergistic relationship is fundamental to the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.

A Name for Pushing Limits
Our name honors those who have blazed the path of exploration, from the pioneers who settled Utah’s frontier in 1847, to the test pilots who shattered the barriers of speed in the 1950’s, and set the known limit of human acceleration at 47G.
Colonel John Stapp became the fastest man on earth when he strapped himself into a rocket-propelled sled and launched down a 3,500′ track at 632 miles per hour. In the process, Colonel Stapp experienced 46.2Gs of acceleration: the greatest ever endured by a test pilot.
