Executive summary
Current state
NSF awarded $305,000 SBIR Phase I funding to AICONIC BIOSCIENCES for developing gene therapy to overcome AAV cargo size limitations, creating a structural commercial gap where cash-rich but bandwidth-poor biotechs must spend non-dilutive capital quickly while navigating complex technical and regulatory challenges.
Market catalyst
NSF SBIR program has systematic data on why gene therapy companies fail to secure Phase II funding, but this intelligence isn't accessible to applicants. Companies like AICONIC must navigate this opaque process with limited resources and high stakes.
