SBIR/STTR for Startups: Building a Quality Team

June 5, 2019 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm EDT

Having a great idea for a technology is a must for every company seeking SBIR/STTR funding, but it doesn’t ensure success. Pulling together a focused combination of technical and business expertise is critical for a project to advance efficiently. This session explains the roles played by employees (technical vs. management), consultants, subcontractors and advisers and how to use them to the best advantage of the project. Things like compensation, where to find resources and how to discuss the current and future build out of your management team are also included.


Presenter: Jerry Hollister, Principal Consultant

Jerry Hollister is a BBCetc Principal Consultant, joining the company in 2017 with 30 years of leadership experience in government, higher education, non-profit and for-profit enterprises. After earning an engineering degree from the University of Michigan, he served as commissioned Naval Officer in the Civil Engineer Corps and a warranted Contracting Officer for the Dept. of Defense. Prior to joining BBCetc, Jerry was Chief Operating Officer for Michigan-based Niowave, a developer of superconducting electron accelerators, where he worked to build the successful start-up company from 2008-17. Jerry was instrumental in Niowave receiving over 45 SBIR awards. Niowave was named the 2010 SBIR/STTR Small Business of the Year by the Dept. of Energy and, in 2016, was honored with the S.B.A.’s Tibbetts Award, which recognizes the best in SBIR achievement.


Do you know about Michigan’s SBIR/STTR Assistance Program?  The Michigan SBIR/STTR Assistance Program provides SBIR/STTR training and proposal development services to technology companies with most costs covered by a state grant. The program is managed by BBCetc.


Funds for this initiative were provided by the 21st Century Jobs Fund, a MSF program designed to accelerate the growth and diversification of Michigan’s economy.
