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.
We show the funding event, not a vacancy — a speculative application to a freshly funded lab routinely beats a hundred applicants on a posted role.
