Executive summary
Current state
ISEECHANGE, Inc. received $304,018 in SBIR Phase I funding to develop deep learning flood mapping technology but faces critical commercialization gaps as a small business with limited market access and implementation capacity. The NSF requires technical validation by December 2026, creating immediate pressure for Phase II application with commercialization components.
