We offer grant writing support in two different ways.

(A) If you have selected one of our Plus/Pro plans from our website https://www.turbosbir.com/#pricing then you will have proposal writing services included in your plan. You can proceed with requesting your service from the Dashboard when you are ready, by clicking on 'Request Consultation, Proposal Writing, or Other Services' and then Step 2. Expert Services.

  • Applicant Plus/Super Applicant Plus plans are for bootstrapped DIYers, who need a little bit of help (reviewing/writing) with the proposal content, but are generally capable of providing strong content and improving it after we turn around a draft. Both, contingency or flat-fee paid models are available for this tier.

  • Applicant Pro plan is for a seriously committed company who wants multiple draft revisions and strategic consultations with our team for one proposal. Both, contingency or flat-fee paid models are available for this tier.

  • Our Super Applicant Pro plan is the premium-most tier, in which, we make it our job to get you the maximum amount of money possible from all areas of Federal government, with all possible services included in the plan, with little-to-no limitations. Due to the high volume of work that our team puts into the success of these customers, we don't offer a contingency only model for this tier, but instead we offer unique, affordable flat-fee/hybrid models to choose from.

(B) If you are on our legacy ($100/mo) plan, then you need to add one of the following proposal writing service as an 'Add-On' to your plan. This service can be requested from your TurboSBIR Dashboard by clicking the 'Request Consultation, Proposal Writing, or Other Services' button, and then Step 2. Expert Services.

  • For the bootstrapped startup that doesn’t have much experience with grant writing, but can contribute with high-quality content - You sign a success-fee agreement for this proposal writing Add-On Service. The agreement states that for any proposal that our team assists with, you will owe us 7% of the grant/contract amount if you win. For SBIR grants and contracts, the 7% is legally allowed to be included as a profit fee in your budget.

  • For companies that want some help to begin with, but can then write/improve on their own – Costs $1K for Phase 1 ($2.5K for Phase 2) for the ‘First Draft’ proposal writing service, under which we will request your content and write out a first draft of your proposal.

  • For busy/seriously committed companies that want heavy support from us - Costs $5K for Phase 1 (or $10K for Phase 2) for the ‘Multiple Draft’ proposal writing service, with multiple revisions, regular check-in calls, and significant background R&D/intellectual input from our team.

Note however, that regardless of the model you select, our writing team should not be expected to perform the role of a fractional CSO/CTO. Our job is not to figure out how to build or test your product/technology, but rather to position your content in the best-possible way for winning the SBIR. Having said that, we do advise clients on content quality when possible and reasonable. Read more about how we provide the writing assistance here.
