SSTI produces two videos on the “Build to Scale” program

Running less than 28 minutes in total, the two-video series covers important considerations related to the Venture Challenge and Capital Challenge.

In a recent installment of SSTI’s “Federal Funding Video” series, Program Director Jerry Coughter interviewed Amanda Kosty, Management and Program Analyst with the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

Their discussion focused on the “Build to Scale” (B2S) program’s two competition tracks: the Venture Challenge and the Capital Challenge. The two-part series offers a comprehensive overview of each funding track and its alignment with technology-based economic development strategies. They also provide valuable advice on crafting competitive applications, emphasizing understanding and directly addressing the specific challenges a community should consider before submitting a proposal.

The two videos, running less than 14 minutes each, can be found at these links:
