SBIR grants are a great way to secure small business funding without giving away equity, but they require Founders to complete an extensive and competitive application process requiring both business and technical expertise. Oftentimes, Founders only have a background in one or the other with a Ph.D. or an MBA.
So who writes a better SBIR grant application- Founders with PhDs or Founders with MBAs? Welcome to the battle of the degrees!
