Lab2Launch Accelerator Prepares Companies for SBIR/STTR Success

In 2021, 23 companies took part in ASBTDC's eight-week virtual Lab2Launch accelerator for first-time or previously unsuccessful SBIR/STTR applicants. After completing Lab2Launch, Children and Family Evaluation Services, LLC of Little Rock won a $49,712 STTR award from AFWERX. "Participating in the program shortened the time it would have taken for our small business to learn the SBIR process and get a proposal submitted," said CAFES owner Leanne Mausell. Each L2L cohort is led by ASBTDC's Rebecca Todd. "We would not have even known to apply for the AFWERX SBIR/STTR if it weren't for Rebecca Todd! Rebecca has been key in helping us find and connect to SBIR/STTR funding matched to our areas of interest," said CAFES' Alecia Hamilton.

New LLC Formation Clinic Helps Save Small Business Owners Hundreds of Dollars in Startup Fees

With a shortage of support from low-cost legal clinics in the Los Angeles area, small business owners were using expensive online services to form their new LLCs. In response to the need, the LA SBDC piloted an informational clinic run by legal experts to teach participants about business structures and how to register their LLCs through the California Secretary of State's website.  Instead of downloading a generic operating agreement, participants drafted their own custom document based on the SBDC instructors' plain-language explanations. In addition to avoiding unnecessary legal fees, each participant gained a true understanding of their operating agreement, which now serves as a manual to manage and run their new businesses.
