Home / Hiring 3,235 companies · SBIR/STTR awards, last two years
Work where the money already is 3,235 science and engineering companies closed federal SBIR/STTR awards in the last two years — most are under 15 people. A small company that just won federal money is a company about to grow, usually before any job is posted. The date, the amount and the agency below are from the award record itself.
Most rows show the funding event, not a vacancy. Where the board holds a live role at the company, the row says so and those companies come first.
