Technical and Business Assistance (TABA)
Most funding agencies participating in the SBIR/STTR program now offer Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding supplemental to your grant’s R&D budget. TABA funds can be used to pay third-party vendors for services like market research, go-to-market strategy development, and commercialization support, which are essential for early-stage startups who may not otherwise have the resources to secure these services.
Why Render?
We are an eligible TABA vendor, certified B Corporation, half venture capital firm, and half innovation studio. We invest in early-stage, high-growth startups through Render Capital and help other enterprises work more with startups and more like startups through Render Innovation. Our unique perspective as investors helps us arm our clients for successful fundraising efforts.
Process
Render supports the work of growing your business while your team focuses on R&D. We’ll use our first 30-minute meeting to understand your business and assess your near-term needs.
