Public Venture Capital Government Funding Sources for Technology Entrepreneurs 2000 edition
Author: Henry Etzkowitz, Magnus Gulbrandsen, Janet Levitt, Henry Etzkovitz

Public Venture Capital is an invaluable resource you will use again and again when seeking an inside track to government dollars. Relatively few entrepreneurs are aware that government funds from programs with acronyms like SBIR, ATP, Dual Use, ManTech, DARPA, and Act II can provide both initial and later-stage venture capital for their companie... more »s. Moreover, public venture capital programs do not require equity in exchange. Funding is available to technology start-ups and innovative firms through a variety of government programs. The purpose of this book is to familiarize you with the concept of public venture capital and to illustrate how to use the above-mentioned programs to fund technology endeavors. Public Venture Capital brings together information and resources on programs that make funds available to technology entrepreneurs and innovative firms on a competitve basis. Whether your interest is in a specific project or technology idea or you are looking for more general information regarding public venture capital, this book will be specifically helpful to you. Public Venture Capital provides insight and helpful hints - based on interviews with successful applicants and current program officers - on how to win government funding awards. More important, it provides the tools needed to gain access to revelant programs and people. This book is organized to allow you to go from broad topic areas to your specific areas of interest. For example, if you have a specific project in mind you can go to the Science and Technology Index and spot where your project fits in. From this starting point you will be guided elsewhere in the book to find leads for making appropriate contacts, to find more information about current programs in your field, and to learn how and why these programs were founded. In contrast to private venture capital, government is not trying to earn a profit. Its objectives are to generate jobs, to assist the growth of the economy, and to increase tax revenues in the long term. Thus, government programs may offer funding to a broader range of technologies than do private venture capital firms. You'll even receive lists of agencies, proposal preparation kits, lists of resource centers, list of Web sites, policy guides for specific agencies, sample proposals, and more on the FREE companion CD-ROM!
