MassVentures SBIR Matching Grants
Matches a portion of a Massachusetts startup's federal SBIR award with additional state funding to help it commercialise.
Companies apply directly to MassVentures for a matching grant tied to their SBIR award, with the exact amount and match ratio set by MassVentures' own guidelines rather than a fixed public formula. The scheme is designed specifically to de-risk and amplify federal SBIR funding for Massachusetts-based businesses.
This state programme is aimed at Massachusetts companies that have already won a federal SBIR award and need extra funding to move from R&D toward commercialization. It targets technology and innovation businesses aligned with MassVentures' broader focus areas.
