The Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) SBIR is America s largest publicly invested research and development initiative, funding over $2.5 Billion per year to Universities and small business startups. Small businesses are the primary engines for domestic economic development, job creation and tax contribution by accounting for 60 to 80% of all U.S jobs and yielding 13 times more patents then larger firms. SBIR companies face funding battles to commercially succeed: Venture capitalists have become more risk adverse, feeding young chickens rather than chicks.. Who is left to feed and nurture the chicks?
