The SBIR Targeted Technologies (START) Grants help Massachusetts-based startups convert research developed under SBIR and STTR contracts into businesses and jobs.
START offers SBIR Phase II companies in MA grants and business guidance to help them commercialize their technologies. Each year, the program awards:

- 5 “Stage II” grants of $200,000 each to the most promising “Stage I” winners from the previous year and;
- 2 “Stage III” opportunities: up to $500,000 each of seed capital in a commercial spinout from the most successful “Stage II” companies.
