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. Our first cohort starts June 9 and  will focus on agencies that issue R&D contracts (e.g., DoD, NASA).

 

Participants will receive access to preparatory resources, LMS, templates and toolkits, and expert instructor-led sessions and 1-1 guidance.

The Montana Technology Innovation Partnership (MTIP) is based at Montana State University TechLink Center. We are funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration with additional funding from the Montana Department of Commerce.
