CEO of Compass Technology Group LLC Becky Schultz joins host Jason Kanigan on the Cold Star Project, and our topic of discussion is commercialization of products developed through SBIR/STTR grant funding. Jason asks Becky:

• Tell us about your background and its relevance to SBIR/STTR awards  
• What was your initial intention in getting grant money: to develop tech/IP, or move towards commercializing a product? Why?  
• Share your experience with the grant awards process…quirks, takeaways, frustrations
• What problem were you solving and how did you know the market would be interested in buying?  
• Your focus on commercialization ⏤ success stories, struggles (supply chain, scaling manufacturing processes?)
• What do you recommend for those seeking grant funding, in terms of purpose/focus/approach/expectation.
