Dawnbreaker Unveils All-New Industry Portals Online

ROCHESTER, NY (June 7, 2019) – Following its recent website release, Dawnbreaker has just unveiled three refreshed industry portals, aimed at assisting aspiring small businesses within the SBIR/STTR programs. The Defense, Medical and Space portals are each available at https://www.dawnbreaker.com/portals/ and provide a wealth of resources for high tech small businesses seeking answers to commonly asked questions within these sectors.

While the Defense portal is specifically geared toward Department of Navy SBIR-funded companies seeking Phase III transition, the Medical portal is provided as a service to those developing and improving drugs, biologics and medical devices. Meanwhile, the Space portal provides information on changes in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) organization, the NASA budget, funding, commercial space, featured missions and past programs.

“We have leveraged the talents of our market research and business acceleration teams here at Dawnbreaker to create this expansive library of frequently asked questions, regulatory requirements, information on funding opportunities and much more,” says Dr. Jenny C. Servo, President and Founder of Dawnbreaker, Inc. “We will soon be launching our Energy portal as well, so companies seeking to partner with the Department of Energy can also utilize the resources.”

As always, the industry portals are free to use for interested parties. To view the portals, please visit https://www.dawnbreaker.com/portals/.

Developing Network Contacts (DevNC)

When you need to reach out...

There are times when you need to reach out to others – whether you are looking for potential customers, potential partners, or potential investors. But who should you call…and how do you address your fear of contacting them. The DevNC is a unique market research tool designed to provide you with between 25 and 30 Points of Contact (PoC). With each POC, information is included that provides insight about the person’s role. Depending on their position, other information commonly included relates to their background, articles that they have written, conference presentations and other pertinent information. This type of information enables you to customize your correspondence. Contact information is also included  – typically LinkedIn, email and phone number.
