Elevate says the expansion gives Indiana companies more access to early-stage funding.
Elevate says it will match up to $75,000 per Phase II award and $150,000 per company.
Elevate, which manages the SBIR/STTR program in partnership with the Indiana Economic Development Corp., says it now supports Phase II matching. The program is designed to address federal needs for research and development.
“The SBIR/STTR program is one of the largest sources of funding for innovation-driven companies at their earliest stage of development,” said Ting Gootee, chief investment officer at Elevate Ventures. “This additional support provides another edge for Indiana companies to compete nationally.”
For fiscal year 2020-2021, 25 companies received $1.3 million in funding from Indiana’s SBIR/STTR matching program.
