Tue, Feb 11, 2025

America's Seed Fund Week is a series of virtual events representing a collaborative outreach effort that will connect entrepreneurs working on advanced technologies and the organizations that support them to the country's largest source of early-stage funding. This is a free and virtual opportunity for small businesses to learn about non-dilutive funding available through America's Seed Fund that awards $4 billion annually to small businesses for R&D. Come and meet with federal agency representatives, attend roundtables, connect with Federal And State Technology (FAST) organizations, and find other helpful resources.

The Montana Innovation Partnership (MTIP) is based at Montana University TechLink Center. We are funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Adminstration with additional funding from the Montana Department of Commerce.
