Genetic, Self-Service DNA Detection Made Affordable
Founded in 2017, NanoBio Designs LLC is an Indianapolis biotechnology company that develops a simple, fast and cost-effective genetic detection platform using its novel microparticle pairing technology. The initial platform, ExpresSeed, meets several of the unmet needs of hybrid seed producers seeking to track markers and those in food supply chains that need to validate genetic composition before purchase, sale, or export. NanoBio Designs LLC moved from Iowa to Indiana in 2021 and has hit the ground running in the state's agbioscience space. In 2022 they took advantage of the Indiana SBDC's Technical Assistance Program (INTAP), for assistance with grant management and proposal preparation for an SBIR Phase 1 award.

Massachusetts SBDC helps brighten the future of batteries at Westborough company
Ascend Elements' Cofounder/CTO Eric Gratz, as a postdoctoral fellow, came to the Massachusetts SBDC for help with SBIR funding in 2015 to launch a venture to commercialize his breakthrough battery technology. Multiple meetings and proposal preparation helped the company secure STTR funds by the end of 2015. The Massachusetts SBDC reviewed numerous proposals and venture documents, assisted with multiple Phase I and Phase II SBIR/STTR funding, and equity investment totaling more than $90 million. The relationship continues to this day. The company was recently awarded Department of Energy grants totaling $480 million to open production facilities in Georgia and Kentucky. Part of this funding was included in President Biden's recent battery initiative announcement.
