Executive summary
Current state
NSF SBIR Phase I award to Bonne Terre Consulting reveals a systemic capacity gap where small businesses receive non-dilutive funding for complex technical projects but lack the specialized expertise and bandwidth to execute within constrained timelines while maintaining core operations.
Market catalyst
NSF encourages SBIR awardees to participate in I-Corps (7-week intensive training) but provides no integrated support for managing simultaneous technical development and market validation, creating severe bandwidth constraints that threaten both programs' success.
