Executive summary
Current state
NSF awarded $1.19M SBIR Phase II funding to Teraspatial Inc for millimeter-wave wireless technology, creating a capital-inflated small business with $50k specifically allocated for third-party commercialization services but lacking the vendor relationships and market knowledge to deploy this budget effectively.
Market catalyst
Academic researchers who receive SBIR Phase II funding have $50k TABA budgets specifically for commercialization services but lack the business acumen to create compelling proposals or identify qualified vendors, creating a gap for pre-packaged commercialization solutions.
