SBIR & STTR intelligence built for better pursuit decisions.
Find the innovation opportunities that matter, understand the role your organization can realistically play, and move from topic discovery to a structured pursuit or partner strategy.
SBIR intelligence without the noise.
Finding a topic is only the first step. Foundry Core OS brings SBIR and STTR opportunities into the same opportunity-intelligence environment used across public and private funding sources, then adds the context needed to decide what deserves attention.
Opportunity intelligence
Current topics, agencies, programs, phases, deadlines, descriptions, and authoritative source links in one normalized view.
IronGauge™ analysis
Strategic fit, readiness, confidence, evidence, risks, and practical pursuit context instead of keyword matching alone.
Role intelligence
Separate direct lead opportunities from potential research, pilot, end-user, test-bed, and commercialization roles.
Lifecycle monitoring
New and materially changed records can be reevaluated while unchanged topics remain visible without unnecessary repeated scoring.
Not every SBIR opportunity means you should apply.
Foundry distinguishes direct pursuit from strategic participation so technical relevance is not confused with applicant eligibility.
Direct small-business pursuit
For organizations configured for SBIR/STTR lead review, Foundry evaluates topic alignment, readiness, evidence, risk, and source-supported applicant context.
- Strategic and technical fit
- Readiness and pursuit risk
- Program and phase context
- Source-grounded eligibility review
Partner, pilot, or end-user relevance
Government, nonprofit, research, or other organizations may be strategically relevant even when they are not positioned as the small-business applicant.
- Research partner
- Pilot site or test bed
- Mission end user
- Commercialization or transition partner
Foundry keeps these concepts separate and uses the authoritative solicitation as the final source for applicant, teaming, phase, and submission requirements.
SBIR/STTR fits directly into the Foundry operating model.
Innovation funding becomes more useful when discovery, pursuit planning, teaming, and execution live in one connected decision process.
One opportunity. Two different planning paths.
Foundry routes SBIR/STTR opportunities differently depending on whether the organization is evaluating a lead pursuit or a strategic participation role.
SBIR / STTR Strategic Blueprint
For direct-pursuit opportunities, the Blueprint organizes the pursuit around the source record and known requirements.
- Technical problem and proposed innovation
- Technical objectives and work plan
- Milestones and validation questions
- Teaming and research-partner considerations
- Commercialization or transition pathway
- Risks, evidence, and immediate next actions
Partner Strategy
For role-based signals, Foundry focuses on how the organization may contribute without implying that it is the applicant.
- Likely contribution model
- Ideal lead profile
- Pilot, test-bed, or end-user value
- Research or commercialization relevance
- Teaming questions and outreach talking points
- Immediate next actions
Turn live opportunity intelligence into useful public content.
SBIR Spotlight converts current innovation topics into concise, source-grounded five-page publications built for technology, R&D, teaming, and commercialization conversations.
Each Spotlight can summarize the topic, program and phase context, technical considerations, planning questions, pursuit checks, and verified source links without exposing proprietary client scoring.
Innovation opportunity intelligence
A structured five-page briefing designed to make complex SBIR/STTR topics easier to understand and discuss.
