Expand Research and Development and Infrastructure
Government Agencies have already defined their problems and are willing to fund R&D and Infrastructure Improvements. These solutions can align with a company’s technology roadmap.
Find new customers
Government customers are typically stable and long-term. They have problems that reflects the real needs and a potential market.
Can’t commit extensive time and resources
Many organizations are unable to carry out current projects while simultaneously going after new business.
Limited experience writing winning proposals
Government solicitations can be complex, require a lot of organization, and not having prior experience can lower the probability of winning.
Lacking knowledge about FARs
The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FARs) is a complex set of regulations and companies must comply with them. It takes experience and a lot of time to comprehend and be compliant.
Unfamiliarity with the government acquisition process
Government acquisition is not as simple as writing and submitting a proposal. Every agency works on a timeline, has specific goals, and has a method for generating solicitations. Understanding the process is key to winning.
Never partnered with Research organizations
Universities, National Labs, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) do business with the government all the time and it helps to have one of these as your partners.
Fedsprout aided Wabash Valley and our member Co-ops with several funding opportunities over the past year. The staff is knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. We appreciate their flexibility and willingness to educate our team throughout the process. I highly recommend Fedsprout.

Working with Aalap and his team at Fedsprout has been an exceptional experience. Their expertise and dedication in navigating the complex landscape of grant applications have been invaluable to Clark County REMC. Not only did they streamline the process, but their strategic insights and attention to detail significantly enhanced our concept paper and full application. I highly recommend Fedsprout to an organization seeking professional grant writing services.

Fedsprout was great to work with in our Department of Energy grant application process. They were incredibly responsive throughout the iterative process of grant writing. Fedsprout had a team of professional technical specialists available to support our grant writing process, and each Fedsprout team member helped immensely in crafting specific, critical sections of our successful grant application.
Fedsprout was also able to compile all of the sections of our grant application into one cogent document ready to submit to the DOE. The federal grant application process is complex and strictly structured and GCEA could not have compiled and submitted a successful grant application without the guidance, efforts, and expertise of Fedsprout’s team.

Our collaboration with Aalap Shah at Fedsprout has been instrumental in assisting in the commercialization of Phase I and Phase II SBIR/STTR awards with the Department of Transportation. Aalap and his team bring a strong technical foundation and attention to quality that has been invaluable in the projects we've worked on together.
