Wyoming SBIR/STTR Match Grant Program
R&D / Tech · Wyoming Business Council · WY
The Wyoming SBIR/STTR Match Grant Program, run by the Wyoming Business Council, gives Wyoming small businesses that already hold a federal SBIR or STTR award matching state grant funds of up to $100,000 for Phase I or $200,000 for Phase II. It's for Wyoming-based research and technology companies with at least half their employees in-state, and applications are accepted year-round with rolling review.
The Wyoming SBIR/STTR Match Grant Program is a state-level matching grant administered by the Wyoming Business Council. It is designed for Wyoming small businesses that have already won a federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) award and need additional funding to help commercialize their technology.
The program provides a matching cash grant of up to $100,000 for companies with a federal Phase I award, or up to $200,000 for companies with a Phase II award. Each business may receive up to four matches over its lifetime, allowing repeat participation as a company progresses through federal SBIR/STTR stages.
To qualify, a company must be based in Wyoming, hold an active federal SBIR or STTR Phase I or Phase II award, and have at least 50% of its employees located in Wyoming. Applications are accepted year-round, with evaluations conducted on a rolling monthly basis rather than through a single annual deadline — though applicants should check current rounds before applying, as terms can shift.
For a small business owner who has already secured competitive federal research funding, this program is meaningful because it can significantly extend that funding's reach without requiring repayment, since it is structured as a grant rather than a loan. It specifically supports research-driven, technology-focused companies rather than general small business needs.
Because award amounts, eligibility details, and open application rounds may change, applicants should confirm the most current program specifics directly on the Wyoming Business Council's official website before applying.
