Spanky,

From a seminar given here by Greenwood Consulting Group, the company doesn not have to be in place to submit a successful proposal.  I'm not sure exactly what that means, but maybe you can find the company after SBIR approves the proposal.

Regarding the idea of the university starting a company, my notes also say that the company must be "for profit" and cannot be a "for profit" subsidiary of a "not-for-profit".

The presenters were very knowledgable.  If you want to contact them:  Greenwood Consulting Group, xxxxxx@att.net or their website:  http://g-jgreenwood.home.att.net

So, I've got this technology that's crying out for SBIR, but I don't have a decent company to collaborate.  So, Chuck and others, could the University form a wholly-owned technology development company and use that to submit the SBIR proposal?

Thanks
