What is the SBIR/STTR competitive landscape?
It is a live, ranked view of the firms winning the most SBIR/STTR federal R&D dollars, built from public USASpending and SBIR.gov award records. You can filter the ranking by agency, technology area, phase, and fiscal year to see who leads a specific slice of the market.

How does the 'firms like this' similarity work?
For a given firm we compare its set of technology domains and funding agencies against every other awardee using a weighted overlap (Jaccard) score, then rank the firms with the most shared domains and agencies. Sign in to see the full similar-firms list for any company.
