Executive summary
Current state
AICONIC BIOSCIENCES received $305K NSF SBIR Phase I funding for gene therapy research but faces a severe commercial execution gap between their research deliverables and the $100M+ required for FDA approval and market access. The SBIR program creates research capital without commercial infrastructure, generating multiple asymmetric opportunities around vendor procurement, commercial intelligence, and process IP capture.
Market catalyst
AICONIC has $305K SBIR money that MUST be spent within 18 months on specific technical deliverables, but as a small startup they lack established vendor relationships and procurement expertise for specialized gene therapy CRO services.
