Two billion dollars will be given away this year to small businesses across the nation to perform cutting-edge high-risk high-return R&D, and to create the complementing businesses that utilize the end results of this R&D. This introductory class will give an overview of the SBIR/STTR programs, how to effectively use them to bring out tomorrow's cutting-edge technologies, the types of companies that can use these programs, and the legal issues/opportunities of the programs.

Companies that compete and win SBIR awards need legal services that can include:
· Business creation and legal entity set up
· Counsel for adequately protecting IP
· Merger and acquisition
· Exit strategy support

Take this opportunity to learn about a well-kept secret in start-up and emerging business funding. Many of you already have clients that could benefit from this free money. There are few strings attached to these programs, and the resulting intellectual property stays with the company. For more information call Kim Keating 303-427-5226, or Email: info@sbircolorado.org
