| | Has anyone in the HN community taken money through the government's SBIR (small business innovation research) or STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) programs? In casually chatting with someone today and telling them what our startup's goals are, I was told, "Hey, you should look into SBIR and STTR." The person with whom I was chatting didn't really know much past passing a reference though so I'm wondering if anybody on HN can provide some enlightenment. |

But keep in mind that you would be doing government contracting, and there are a lot of hoops that you have to go through, like doing accounting the government way, filing out reports and the like. So it is a big undertaking.
Anyway, you can drop me a line if you want to know more. And my mom is always looking for collaboraters, but her focus is in x-ray and neutron detectors...
