How can the Washington State APEX Accelerator help? 

We offer no cost proposal guidance for Phase 1 applicants for any of the 11 participating federal agencies. The process starts with  registering as a client with the Washington State Accelerator. 

After initial intake, your APEX advisor may refer you to the SBIR/STTR Advisor for further assistance or may refer you to the next SBIR 101 presentation.

Our services include:

  • Providing individual  advisement regarding SBIR/STTR proposals
  • Linking APEX clients to other no-cost or low cost resources
  • Providing no-cost workshops
  • Providing assistance with other non-dilutive R&D funding opportunities such as OTAs 
  • Linking innovators to federal laboratories
