Technical & Business Assistance

Commercialize your research. Solve business problems.

TABA Vendor helps SBIR/STTR awardees turn technical promise into market evidence, commercial strategy and a credible route to adoption.

SBIR/STTR proposal review

Find the weaknesses before the panel does. Each review is conducted by Zeiss Wang, chief consultant—not a quick AI rundown. The $899 promotional rate, normally $2,000, is for fully developed Phase I proposals. Pay by Zelle to the tabavendor tag, including your name and “proposal review” in the payment note, then submit a confidential brief so the payment can be matched manually. A review slot is secured only after payment is received and matched. Five reviews are available; two have been claimed. Allow at least two business days for feedback after a complete proposal is received. Review-only support includes scientific and commercial positioning, reviewer-style comments, tracked-change edits, and one follow-up revision.

Frequently asked questions

What is TABA?

Technical and Business Assistance is a commercialization-support mechanism available through many SBIR/STTR programmes. Depending on the agency and solicitation, it can support work such as market assessment, customer discovery, commercial strategy and technical-business planning.

Is TABA available through every SBIR/STTR programme?

No. Eligibility, funding limits, timing, provider rules and required documentation vary by agency and solicitation. The sensible starting point is the specific opportunity in front of you—not an assumption drawn from another programme.

When should we begin the commercial work?

Early enough for market evidence to affect a real decision: a target segment, customer, partnership, product definition or next funding case.

What does a TABA engagement include?

The scope follows the decision at hand. It may combine market research and validation, customer discovery, competitive and landscape analysis, commercialization planning, go-to-market priorities, partner or investor readiness, and TABA letter support.

Who conducts the SBIR/STTR proposal review?

Zeiss Wang, PhD MBA, TABA Vendor’s chief consultant, conducts each review personally. It is not a quick AI rundown.

How long does a proposal review take?

Allow at least two business days for feedback once a complete proposal has been received.

How do I reserve the promotional proposal-review rate?

Send $899 by Zelle to the tag tabavendor and include your name plus “proposal review” in the payment note. Then submit the confidential request brief. A review slot is secured only when payment has been received and matched manually to that request.

How are a proposal and supporting materials handled?

The website request is treated as a confidential business inquiry. One optional document can be sent with the inquiry email; the document itself is not stored in public project files.

Independent provider; not a government agency. TABA availability, eligibility and requirements vary by agency and solicitation.
