Nail your NSF Project Pitch
Submit a winning NSF project pitch and
be invited to the NSF SBIR STTR program Phase I application.
Sound Familiar?
You have an innovative idea that could revolutionize your industry but need funding to research and develop it. You don't want to give away equity or get a personal loan for making it happen.
You are aware of the NSF SBIR STTR Program, which funds technological innovations with high impact and scalability potential, and know that the first phase of this program funds research and development 6-12 months projects up to $256,000.
To apply for this $256k funding, you need to get an official invitation from the NSF, for which you have to submit a project pitch that shows that your project is a good fit for the SBIR STTR program.
Writing a winning NSF Project Pitch is challenging because it's short (1500 words), and so it needs to be very concise and persuasive. There is no space for poor writing or boilerplate content. The NSF's reviewers will invest only a few minutes reviewing it, so it has to be very well structured and written. It takes time and you are busy.
On top of this, you can't hire a consultant and forget about it because only you have the technical knowledge and industry insights required to develop a compelling pitch. Sure, you can outsource the writing, but you still need to provide the technical inputs, explain your idea's potential, and share your industry insights. There is no way you are not deeply involved in this.
At BizCusp, we help technology companies write winning NSF Project Pitches by providing a custom thought out process and bringing top know-how.

A Perfect Approach for You
Having helped dozens of small companies win, we have developed broad know-how on technology companies' business development, including how to get funding for research and development projects that become crucial milestones in our clients' history. One of the most important lessons we have learned is that startups and small businesses looking for R&D funds miss important opportunities due to the lack of in-house experience and bad consultants. To solve this problem, we have developed three services that help our clients based on their particular scenarios:
Do it yourself
If you are good at writing technical content and have the time, we believe the best option is to develop the NSF Project Pitch yourself. No one knows your innovative idea better than you, so if you know how to present complex concepts impactfully and can invest the time, we recommend writing it yourself. We have published a free guide on how to write a winning pitch, which you can use to adapt the approach and tips to your particular case.
Use a custom done-for-you guide
Even if you are available and your technical writing is great, everyone can use some help when writing the NSF Project Pitch. The NSF SBIR STTR Program covers more than 30 technology topic areas and every idea and R&D project has its differences, so a writing guide customized to your particular case is very useful to ensure you nail the project pitch while saving some time. We have found that this option is an excellent trade-off for most small businesses.
Let us write the NSF Project Pitch for you
If you are not good at writing, you don't have time, or simply want to get your NSF Project Pitch written by professionals, we have you covered. With this service, you will have to provide raw inputs about the innovation, the market potential, your company and team, and we will do the rest from writing to submission. The best option for busy entrepreneurs with some cash.

- Cloud-based collaboration tools such as shared drives, management canvas applications, and team management tools, saving tons of time in communications and information sharing.
- Artificial intelligence powered solutions ensuring that project pitches are clear, mistake-free and fully compliant.

Javier has won us over $200k in small bids over 6 month period.
He brings tangible value to our business. He knows his stuff.
Javier is a real gem and an absolute pleasure to work! From the moment I spoke with him, I knew that I found a real Pro, who knew exactly how to write a great proposal.
Javier is an outstanding professional. His proposal development acumen is one of the sharpest that I’ve ever seen. He really knows how to craft a story to help you win. […] Absolutely amazing.
Javier is just fantastic. […] The quality of work shows he’s not just all talk, he’s definitely been doing this a long time and knows how to close a deal. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
I hired Javier to help with tender submissions and I can tell you he has helped us immensely – we have won work and had better publicity thanks to Javier. Highly highly recommended.
Javier’s planning, timeliness, attention to detail and communication were all great. Given that he had no background in our industry, I was surprised how relevant and on-point was his writing. Good Work!
