FAQ

What is the SBIR transition hub?

A free readiness check for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition capital and a Phase III firm map built from public award data — so you can see who graduated past Phase II in your domain.

Does this replace AFWERX portals?

No. Confirm current Notices of Opportunity, matching-funds rules, and customer-memo requirements on afwerx.com or spacewerx.us before applying.

What does Phase III mean here?

Phase III awards in our corpus (non-SBIR set-aside follow-on work). We surface firms with Phase III history as transition evidence — not a guarantee of sole-source eligibility.
