Our podcast starts with a Chinese Proverb “The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step”.
What is NM FAST?
The NM Federal and State Technology (NM FAST) partnership program provides SBIR and STTR proposal development assistance to small businesses throughout NM. Securing federal funding for your innovative idea or technology is a critical step towards commercial success. The SBIR and STTR programs, often referred to as “America’s Seed Fund,” are an excellent source of undiluted funding, but are highly competitive. NM FAST provides the resources, support, and expertise necessary to submit a highly competitive proposal.
While NM FAST primarily focuses on the innovative companies in the state of New Mexico, we can provide limited assistance to companies in other states. If you are not incorporated in New Mexico, head to this link and we will try to put you in touch with a local service provider that can assist you.
New Mexico Fast SBIR/STTR Innovation Summit starts soon. Register here
Wednesday, December 15th
8:30 AM to 4:30 PM

The Start of Something New
We had to scramble and put something together in order to start producing our podcasts as the studios we were going to use are shut down due to COVID-19. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do!
