NSF SBIR grants have an additional requirement before you can submit a Phase 1 SBIR grant application. The National Science Foundation requires startups to first submit a Project Pitch with a series of prompts. These prompts may seem easy, but the majority of pitches are denied!
Here at KeepYourEquity.Co we’re on a mission to help you with your NSF SBIR grant applications, so today, join me, Stacy Chin, as I break down how to answer the NSF Project Pitch prompts to give you the best chance at approval.
Don’t worry, after working with Founders like you to get NSF Project Pitch approval, I’ve developed competitive strategies for the top 4 prompts which I’m going to share in this video!

Madam,we like you so, because you are very different from Alibaba,, you are truthful
I just got my NSF project pitch approved! 🎉I found your videos while looking for tips on the full proposal.
Congrats getting your pitch approved! We have an NSF SBIR Phase I FULL Proposal template that we are currently pre-launching for 50% off. We hope this will offer advise and guidance as you prepare the full phase I. Good luck! www.keepyourequity.co/product-page/nsf-sbir-sttr-full-phase-i-guide-and-template
Howd it go
@@KingoftheProfane submitted my full proposal about 2 weeks ago and waiting for feedback
@@Botzu congrats! Fingers crossed for you. Looks like a 10 month process at this point?
@@KingoftheProfane I would say the full thing took me maybe 2-3 months to write the full proposal, start my business and go through the approval process to submit. I just couldn't dedicate full time to it. There are 3~ submission windows a year so I submitted during the window that just ended.
your video is so good at breaking down the pitch process. Thank you for sharing this!!!
very useful information, Stacey! Thank you!
Thanks for your work! I will be working on my project this week! Thank goodness I already did my ground work and will now put together my pitch.
You are very welcome! Good luck on getting the pitch approved. We also have a template on the website that you can purchase if you may find that helpful: www.keepyourequity.co/product-page/nsf-project-pitch-template
@@keepyourequityco thanks will look it up and get it.
So well done and very informative.
I just submitted one a few weeks ago.
In SBIR/STTR budget, if there's a Subcontract involved, the DC AND IDC of the Sub. is included in the Company's F&A calculation (assuming Company use 20% F&A, NOT negotiated rate). Is this correct? Thanks.
Pitch went great, started company, even spent the waiting period refining business. Declined, no data. Next steps?
So GOOD! Thank you so much
Great work!
Amazing video
Kind of off topic but if you receive funding are you expected to keep your full time job? Or is there a clause in the SBIR where you can allocate some of the award to pay yourself a salary?
Thanks for making this video. Do I have to have a business first before I apply?
Thanks for supporting the channel! Yes you should have a business first before applying.
Very informative... Thankyou!
Thank you for your support on this channel! If you have any questions about the SBIR process, please let me know. Good luck!
Can we schedule time with you?
Hello! Can I submit more than one innovation/application but under the same company?
Thanks for your comment! The NSF allows 1 pending application at a time.
@@keepyourequityco thank you so much!

It seems if ones idea is not patentable, it isnt approvable.
Hi Stacy! How often is it, that solo entrepreneurs get an invitation to submit a full proposal, after submitting a project pitch.? The innovation I am pursuing does not result in instant sales and cash flow (once the R&D proves the viability) so I don't have the necessary engineering team ready to work until I can pay them. I am very close to UC Berkeley and UC Davis, and "Silicon Valley", so I can find people for short term assistance and short contracts, but not full-fledged "I would love to join you" team members.
Hi Scott- thank for your message. This is a very common situation. Many solo entrepreneurs would propose to hire consultants/advisors/collaborators if their Phase I SBIR application got funded. It would be good to identify these players beforehand so you can include them in the project pitch. Many innovations that are developed through the NSF SBIR program won't generate revenue till years later - that is okay. Hope that helps!
@@keepyourequityco Thank you for the swift response. As you might observe, engineers by the hundreds are getting laid off in the greater Bay Area, and it's difficult to distinguish real interest in my project versus feigned interest ("I need a job! Yes, I love designing door stops!" 🤗). The most enthusiastic are the academics, but they are not going to cast aside tenure to pursue a nebulous reward. Most typical outside academia are firms like Berkeley Engineering And Research (BEAR): we'll provide all sorts of expertise, for a $4000, up-front retainer. Hmmm! All my longtime colleagues from my computer coding work are retired, and not engineers.
