O Analytics is focused on driving innovation beyond our atmosphere, or as they put it, “putting new space intelligence into action … sooner.” 

Founded in 2019, O Analytics is a space object and detection characterization company started by Dr. Stacey Jones. With a PhD in computer science, she has over 15years of experience in developing aerospace systems for both defense and civil applications, including work with the DoD to support space domain awareness and threat characterization. The company is working to solve an interesting problem - tracking objects in our increasingly crowded near-Earth atmosphere. O Analytics’ mission is simple: answer the questions, "What is it? What is it doing? And what will it do next?"

We’re excited to announce the public launch of our “SBIR Training” course. This comprehensive course is specifically designed by SBIR experts to help you understand and navigate the SBIR or STTR application process. Designed with busy researchers and entrepreneurs in mind, the brief lessons allow you to learn about the process on your schedule.

For SBIR/STTR Programs, federal agencies explicitly want to see the complete vision from research through commercialization. Phase 1 proposals should articulate how the work connects to Phase 2 development, and eventual market deployment.

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are designed to move early-stage and impactful technologies closer to commercialization, but what does “commercialization” mean? 

Got federal SBIR or STTR funding? West Virginia wants to double down on your innovation through matching funds. The West Virginia Entrepreneurship and Innovation Investment Fund (EII) offers grants to businesses that have received federal SBIR/STTR awards, aiming to maximize the impact of federal research funding awards.
