The Neutrino Donut was part of a recent seminar by SoCalBio with various SBIR groups within NIH. We reviewed capabilities and processes for the SBIR program.

The Donut recently completed reviews of DoD technologies as part of the review process.

Earle Hager, who runs the Donut, successfully beat cancer this year.

The Neutrino Donut is actively involved in multiple projects for NIH, NSF, DoD and other funding areas. We help the companies evaluate their commercialization planning and identify steps to advance in the marketplace. It’s always about the Benjamins.

The Neutrino Donut has completed multiple commercialization and grant management programs in the last few months. We have finished grants for SBIR NIH, NSF, and other opportunities.

The Donut is active with multiple economic development groups / universities / state agencies in developing Phase 0 grant projects.

With multiple cohorts per year, we have regular opportunities to apply to join the Long Beach Accelerator. During the program, founders will be aligned with mentors to help them hack their business into the best shape possible to scale and grow and appeal to investors. To qualify for the program, founders must have a scalable technology start up, be able to demonstrate traction in their business and be venture capital backable.

The Long Beach Accelerator accepting applications through March 5. The web is http://www.lbaccelerator.org/apply.

Deadline for Summer 2023 Applicants:

We are focused on industries and verticals where Long Beach has established sector ecosystems and expertise and the LBA can provide exceptional value. To that end, applicants that fall within a competitive industry or vertical (Logistics/Supply Chain, HealthTech, GreenTech, BlueTech, Aerospace, Cybersecurity, and EdTech) will be considered with higher priority. However, other industries and verticals will be considered on a case by case basis, as long as LBA feels there will be significant value added beyond the investment to the startup applicant.
