Women weren't required in US clinical research until June 10, 1993. While some strides have been made, we are still significantly behind where we need to be. That's why Evvy turned June 10 in to Equal Research Day - a day to promote inclusive research, tell important stories, and raise awareness for the gender health gap. We are proud to partner with Evvy as they highlight the importance of inclusive research by sharing 100 shocking truths about gender disparities in healthcare research, access, and treatment.

We've received $100,000 in START grant funding from MassVentures! Funded by the Commonwealth and managed by MassVentures, the SBIR Targeted Technologies (START) grant program helps startups convert research developed under SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) contracts into viable businesses in Massachusetts. The START program awards $100,000 to $500,000 in non-dilutive funds and provides business guidance, such as introductions to investors, pitch coaching, and mentoring, to help companies commercialize their technologies. START is unique in that it covers activities that are critical for growth but not included in federal grant programs. In addition to supporting emerging technologies, START also helps create jobs and bring new products to market. Since 2012, MassVentures’ START program has granted $37.2 million to 125 companies which have gone on to raise more than $5 billion and employ more than 3,200 people in the Commonwealth. We are excited to be part of this visionary program and the innovative ecosystem it has helped create here in Massachusetts. Congratulations to the other incredible companies that received funding.

MassVentures is excited to announce $3 million in START grant funding for 17 deep tech startups. Funded by the Commonwealth and managed by MassVentures, the SBIR Targeted Technologies (START) grant program helps startups convert research developed under SBIR and STTR contracts into viable businesses in Massachusetts. The START program awards companies $100,000 to $500,000 in non-dilutive funds to help them commercialize their technologies. But START is more than just capital. The MassVentures team spends hundreds of hours each year providing business guidance, such as introductions to customers, partners, employees, and capital providers, along with go-to-market strategy, pitch coaching, and mentoring. START is also unique in that it covers activities that are critical for growth but not included in federal grant programs. In addition to supporting innovative companies, START has a tremendous impact on the economic growth initiatives of the Commonwealth. The program helps transfer research into viable businesses, create new industries, generate jobs, and bring new products to market. Since 2012, the MassVentures START program has granted $37.2 million to 125 companies which have gone on to raise more than $5.1 billion and employ more than 3,200 people in the Commonwealth. These companies have also added value by bringing over $2.2 billion in federal grant funding to the state. We are excited to be part of this visionary program and the innovative ecosystem it has helped create here in Massachusetts. MassVentures wants to thank the dozens of amazing companies who applied this year and the dedicated reviewers and judges who volunteered their time to read and score each application.
