🚀 If your startup has completed a Phase I award or received NSF research funding in the past five years, it may be time to pursue NSF Phase II funding. This critical next step offers non-dilutive capital to help bring your innovation closer to market. With millions in annual funding, Phase II gives you the resources to build, test, and commercialize—without giving up equity or control.
Why NSF Phase II Funding Matters for Startups
Scaling deep-tech innovation is challenging, especially in early stages. That’s why federal support plays such an important role. NSF Phase II funding allows startups to expand their research, hire technical staff, validate commercial potential, and increase investor interest. Most importantly, it creates momentum at a crucial phase of growth.
To help you navigate this opportunity, Inspiralia is hosting a live, expert-led webinar with Félix Basurto and Mirella D’Agnano. This session will walk you through every aspect of the transition from Phase I to Phase II, ensuring you understand both the strategic and practical steps involved.
What to Expect in the Phase II Proposal Process
- How to move effectively from NSF Phase I to Phase II
- How to leverage the Fast Track Pilot to speed up access to funding
- Best practices for proposal structure, clarity, and compliance
- How to boost your competitiveness in the review process

How This Funding Can Help You Scale
Over $200 million in NSF Phase II grants are awarded each year, yet many qualified founders don’t apply simply because they lack guidance. This webinar will change that. You’ll walk away with insights, tools, and examples to help you submit a stronger application.
Beyond funding, this session helps you align your innovation with NSF priorities. You’ll also learn how to present your technical and business case more convincingly to reviewers. Moreover, understanding the nuances of the process significantly improves your chances of success.
