2026 America’s Seed Fund Week

Organizer: SBA
America’s Seed Fund Week 2026 is a free online event designed to connect entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers, and support organizations with America’s Seed Fund, the largest source of early-stage, non-dilutive funding for technology startups in the nation. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with federal agency representatives through 'Meet the Program Director' sessions that focus on key sectors such as manufacturing, energy, and health.

The event will feature programming that covers the basics of the SBIR/STTR programs, agency overviews, and guidance on aligning research and development projects with the appropriate federal partners. Participants can also expect panels that provide insights from evaluators and program leaders on crafting strong proposals and navigating the application process. Additionally, the event will address recent program changes from the Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act and offer access to FAST sites, which assist innovators in competing for SBIR/STTR awards.

This event is ideal for those exploring the program for the first time or preparing for their next application, providing practical guidance and valuable resources to support their innovation journey.
