Funding Stories’ Post

On May 1st we met with Merrin Muxlow about Intrepid Automation's experience in securing non-dilutive, 0% equitable, Federal funding. Here's a summary of what our Director of Business Development Yoav (Joe) Sadan and Merrin Muxlow spoke about. Merrin explained the specialty of Intrepid's technology. Enabling 3D printing of ceramic casting patterns, addressing supply chain issues in metal casting. How working with EPF and the Investment Casting Institute, they applied for an America Makes grant, which was focused on casting patterns. The grant writing process with EPF's Melissa Bohbot was intensive but valuable. It helped refine their technical explanations for non-experts, AKA. the reviewers. Eagle Point Funding helped offload some of the grant writing which left the R&D team to work more, but collaboration is necessary to get the best results. After securing the grant it boosted their confidence and proved the value in pursuing future Federal funding opportunities. During the entire process, their marketing language improved and value proposition articulation beyond just the grant. They are now considering applying for another America Makes grant on rapid casting iteration, which aligns with their core technology. Overall, the Federal grant experience provided benefits beyond just funding, helping them better communicate their value across stakeholders Here's the full interview: https://lnkd.in/dEG2PGdw Versatech Automation BTP Automation Liberty Robotics | Machine Vision AI Titan Robotics, Inc.
