Big Sky SBIR/STTR Accelerators coming 2026!
The Montana Technology Innovation Partnership is a statewide program focused on empowering Montana startups to secure non-dilutive funding for their innovations.
​
We will be holding two cohorts to guide technology founders through the process of developing competitive SBIR/STTR proposals. One cohort will focus on agencies that issue R&D contracts (e.g., DoD, NASA). The other cohort will focus on agencies with grant funding for R&D (e.g., NIH, NSF, USDA).
​
In both accelerators, participants will receive access to preparatory resources, LMS, templates and toolkits, and expert instructor-led sessions and 1-1 guidance.
​
Registration will open soon.
