Publicity Enhances SBIR Commercialization Opportunities

Moving from Phase I to Phase II of an SBIR is a challenging prospect.  Typically, less than half of all Phase I contracts successfully make this leap.  Commercialization plans are becoming a larger part of the Phase II award criteria, and reviewers want to see plans focused on real customers and markets as part of your Phase II proposal.

 

At Venmark International, we specialize in obtaining widespread exposure for your technology in credible publications and websites.  The leads we generate will help you focus your efforts on the needs of potential customers and identify the widest range of applications and markets for your SBIR technology.  Our clients who have implemented this strategy have learned that obtaining this exposure in Phase I can lead to a better, more focused commercialization strategy in their Phase II proposal, showing your sponsor that you are making a strong push towards commercialization.

 

A focused publicity approach will help you identify markets and potential sales for your technology. After you have received a Phase II award, these sales will become the commercialization success that is critical to winning future SBIRs.  We understand the challenges facing SBIR recipients and our services are extremely affordable and specifically designed for small technical companies.
