Humanmade Founder Session - SBIR/STTR w/ LARTA
Humanmade Founder Session – SBIR/STTR Funding with LARTA Institute
Building a hardware company takes more than a promising prototype. It also takes resources to move development forward.
Join Humanmade for a Founder Session with Tobias Varntoft of LARTA Institute focused on Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) funding.
For founders exploring how to fund research and development, understanding the available pathways is an important early step. This session will introduce SBIR/STTR funding and provide an opportunity to consider where these programs might fit into your company’s development and commercialization plans.
Whether you’re new to SBIR/STTR or already considering it for your startup, join fellow founders and builders for an evening of learning and connection.
Session Format
This is an in-person gathering at Humanmade, with a remote presenter. Tobias will join live online, and we’ll project his presentation in the auditorium so attendees can experience the session together.
