Virtual Partner Pitch Program

FY25 PITCH COHORT APPLICATION DEADLINE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7th 5PM Eastern

The virtual Partner Pitch Program (vP³) provides Phase II awardees with the opportunity to be promoted to potential strategic partners/investors and to potentially brief them in a non-threatening environment (virtually).

Are you a DOE SBIR/STTR awardee with an active* Phase II, Phase IIA, Phase IIB or Phase IIC award looking to pitch your opportunity to stakeholders in industry and/or the investment community?

REGISTER to pitch in the FY25 cohort of the virtual Partner Pitch Program (vP³) hosted by the DOE Office of SBIR/STTR Programs. Organized by technology and/or target industry, the FY25 sessions will get underway in April 2025. Interested? APPLY TO PITCH NOW!

Prior to the live pitch session, participating Phase II awardees receive coaching and practice presenting their pitch. New in FY25, Phase Shift coaches will provide mentoring and support for the program. Learn more about participating in the FY25 cohort by watching the (Video | Slides) from our January 14^th informational webinar and/or register to attend our second informational webinar on Wednesday, January 29^th at 11 AM Eastern.

While the DOE Office of SBIR/STTR programs will invite relevant stakeholders to attend the pitch sessions, there is no guarantee of attendance and/or resultant partnership. It will be up to the individual participants to nurture and develop strategic relationships between interested parties. Fortunately, the SBIR Partnering Platform makes this much easier. Over 130 DOE-funded Phase II awardees have participated in the vP³ since it launched in 2023.  Partners, visit the platform to search for pitches of interest and request access to the pitch recording.
