Get fast money for your space startup at TC Sessions Space this December
One of the most challenging aspects of running your space startup is access to capital. At TC Sessions Space (December 16-17), we're bringing together some of the top space funding programs to help founders discover how they can tap into grant money to fuel their startups. Each grant program will have 30 minutes for founders to find out how to get access to their funds. Afterward, you can set up individual meetings with their representatives via CrunchMatch to talk about your proposal.
Here are just a few of the programs you'll be able to attend:
The Space Force Accelerators - Learn how the Hyperspace Challenge, Catalyst Space Accelerator and other government accelerators can connect you to the U.S. Space Force.
Advancing Space Technology with NASA SBIR - Learn about the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs powered by NASA.
NAVWAR SBIR/STTR Primer - The SBIR/STTR is a robust program designed to help small businesses address government needs while promoting commercialization. This session is dedicated to providing a primer on the program with tips on getting involved and getting engaged with the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR).
Introduction to In-Q-Tel's investing activities in the commercial space sector - In-Q-Tel is a strategic investment firm that works with the national security community of the United States. For 20 years, In-Q-Tel has served one mission: to deliver the most sophisticated strategic technical knowledge and capabilities to the U.S. government and its allies through its unique investment model. Over the past decade, In-Q-Tel has been one of the most active investors in the commercial space sector, with a broad investment thesis that touches many aspects of the sector.
