Startups can leverage non-dilutive federal and state government R&D grants and contracts to de-risk technology and business operations, and align product and business roadmaps to government, industry and defense customer needs. While enticing, there are “strings” or regulatory compliance requirements that come with government grants and contracts that entrepreneurs should be aware of so they can plan accordingly.
In this session, Zack Hadzismajlovic and Tiffany Hubbard discuss common government contracting topics, such as:
○ Protecting IP Funded in Part or in Whole by the Government
○ Managing Data Rights
○ Domestic Preference Restrictions incl Manufacturing Restrictions
○ Foreign Investments (CFIUS)
○ Export Controls
○ Cyber Security Requirements
○ Different Contract Vehicles for Emerging Businesses (SBIR/STTR, OTAs, Subcontracts and Subawards, and Small Business Set Asides)
