What is America’s Seed Fund Week?

A series of virtual events representing a collaborative outreach effort that will connect entrepreneurs working on advanced technologies and the organizations that support them to the country’s largest source of early-stage funding.

This is a free and virtual opportunity for small businesses to learn about non-dilutive funding available through America’s Seed Fund that awards $4 billion annually to small businesses for R&D. Come meet with the federal agency representatives, attend roundtables, connect with entrepreneur support organizations, and find other helpful resources.

New for 2023: We will kick off America’s Seed Fund Week with Startup Expo 2023, a showcase of innovative startups featuring technology developed through America’s Seed Fund. Join us as we build a virtual stage for selected startups to present their technologies, share their experiences working with America’s Seed Fund, and make new connections!

Access to Startup Expo 2023 is included in your America’s Seed Fund Week registration. Sign up now!
