Non-Dilutive Funding Workshop with David Raiser (Hybrid)

​Federal grants can fund years of R&D without touching your cap table — but navigating the landscape takes more strategy than most founders realize.

​David Raiser is a Harvard PhD, two-time biotech founder, and grant strategist at Raiser Advisory, with $20M+ secured across NIH, ARPA-H, NSF, state programs, and foundations. He brings both the scientific credibility and operational experience to know what actually moves proposals forward.

​The session will include:

• ​Presentation — David will walk through the non-dilutive funding landscape — from NIH SBIR/STTR to ARPA-H to MLSC — covering how to choose the right funder for your stage, what reviewers are looking for, and the mistakes that most commonly sink strong applications.

• ​Q&A — Bring your questions and get direct input on your specific situation.

​This event is hybrid — join us in person in the Boardroom (1B) at The Engine, or tune in remotely. RSVP to reserve your spot.
