Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is non-dilutive funding?
Non-dilutive funding refers to sources of capital that do not require you to give up equity or ownership in your company. Common examples include grants, contracts, and awards from government agencies, foundations, or industry organizations.
2. How long will I be on the waitlist?
Our services will be open to waitlist members first, with priority access expected within the next few weeks.
3. What kind of businesses do you work with?
We primarily serve high-tech startups, small businesses, and innovative entrepreneurs looking to secure non-dilutive funding through grants.
4. How can your consulting services help my business?
Our consulting services guide you through the entire non-dilutive funding process. We assist with identifying relevant opportunities, developing competitive proposals, optimizing your funding strategy, and managing post-award requirements.
5. What types of businesses can benefit from non-dilutive funding?
Non-dilutive funding is ideal for startups, small businesses, and high-growth companies, especially those in technology, healthcare, energy, and other innovation-driven industries. Businesses that are pursuing R&D projects or developing cutting-edge products often find these funding sources valuable.
6. What is the difference between grants and contracts?
Grants typically fund research or projects that align with the mission of the granting agency but allow more flexibility in how funds are used. Contracts, on the other hand, are agreements where you provide specific deliverables or services to a government agency in exchange for funding.
7. What types of non-dilutive funding opportunities do you specialize in?
We specialize in opportunities such as SBIR/STTR grants, technology grants, industry innovation challenges, and other specialized programs from federal and state agencies. We also identify private foundations and industry consortia offering non-dilutive funding.
8. How do I know if my business is eligible for non-dilutive funding?
Eligibility depends on the specific program. We start with an assessment to determine whether your business meets the necessary criteria, including industry, project stage, and alignment with funding agency priorities.
9. What is your process for helping businesses secure non-dilutive funding?
Our process typically involves:
a. Initial assessment and consultation.
b. Researching and identifying funding opportunities tailored to your business.
c. Developing a strategic funding plan.
d. Writing, reviewing, and submitting proposals.
10. How long does it take to receive non-dilutive funding?
The timeline can vary widely depending on the funding source and program. Grant application cycles typically range from 3 to 9 months, while contracts and industry awards may have shorter or longer timelines.
11. Do you offer support with writing grant proposals?
Yes, we provide comprehensive grant writing services, including developing the narrative, budget, technical documents, and other required sections. We ensure your proposal is well-aligned with the funder’s goals and stands out among competitors.
12. What are the success factors for winning non-dilutive funding?
Success depends on having a well-defined project with strong alignment to the funder’s priorities, a clear commercialization plan, and a compelling proposal. Our consulting services focus on maximizing your competitiveness by addressing these critical areas.
13. How much do your consulting services cost?
Our services are customized based on your needs. We offer a range of pricing options, from hourly consulting rates to full-service packages that include strategy development, proposal writing, and submission. Please add yourself to our waitlist for further information.
14. Is there any risk or downside to seeking non-dilutive funding?
Non-dilutive funding does not require giving up equity, but it does come with obligations like reporting requirements and project-specific restrictions. We help you navigate these challenges to ensure compliance and proper budgeting.
15. What happens after I receive non-dilutive funding?
We offer post-award support to help you meet reporting requirements and assist with preparing for follow-on phases of funding or seeking additional non-dilutive opportunities.
16. Can I combine non-dilutive funding with other sources of capital?
Yes, many businesses successfully combine non-dilutive funding with venture capital, angel investments, or debt financing to build a robust funding strategy. We can help you develop a cohesive plan that integrates various funding sources.
17. How do I get started with your consulting services?
You can get started by adding your contact information to our waiting list. We’ll assess your needs, discuss potential funding opportunities, and determine the best approach to assist you with securing the capital your business needs.
