About Event

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. There will be a focus on the upcoming January NIH deadline.
Q&A: Bring your questions and get direct input on your specific situation.

This event is hybrid: join us in person at The Engine, or tune in remotely. RSVP to reserve your spot.
