Stacy Chin walks through four questions to ask before chasing a DoD SBIR grant: Do you know the agency's specific pain points? Does your solution beat what they use now? Can it fit into their existing systems? And can you live with the DoD as a major customer?
So with that being said, if you're still wondering whether you should go for a DoD SBIR grant, ask yourself these questions to help you make that decision. Have I done my homework and fully understand the intricacies of the current pain points within that DoD agency? Do I have a better solution to solving those particular pain points than what the DoD is currently doing? Do I understand how to integrate my solution into their current systems and workflows? And most importantly, are my long-term startup goals aligned with having the DoD as a potential customer?
