About SBIR Portal

A lightweight, modern web application that makes SBIR/STTR federal opportunities searchable, reviewable, and chat-withable.

Why This Exists

The federal SBIR/STTR program awards over $3 billion annually to small businesses, but finding and understanding these opportunities is harder than it should be. The existing portals — SBIR.gov and DSIP — are clunky, lack modern search, and provide zero AI assistance.

SBIR Portal fixes that. We aggregate data from NIH RePORTER, USASpending.gov, and other federal sources into a single, fast, beautiful interface with AI-powered chat to help you understand any opportunity.

Data Sources

  • NIH RePORTER — 76,000+ SBIR/STTR awards
  • USASpending.gov — Federal award financial data
  • Grants.gov — Civilian solicitations (coming soon)
  • DoD DSIP — Defense topics (coming soon)

Built With
