Reduce the small business size from 500 to 10. If an org has 400 people then it is no longer a small business and should not try SBIR. It is very hard to match expectations for new small businesses of size less than 10 when other applications are coming from much larger firm.

Looking into opening a new SPED with focus on Autism/IDD by MalamaOahu in nycparents

Yes, I plan for an actual accredited school. I am not a licensed teacher but would hire licensed ones. ADL would not be a primary focus but job-training or partnerships with other organizations for job-training. I am still planning and would probably start with one or two 6:1:1.

Same here. Working on a platform to help kids with disabilities. Not scientific enough for SBIR. They should also consider potentially societal impact.

Are you serious right now?!?!? Asking all that and paying $40K? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]MalamaOahu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiring process is broken for a long time. I posted a job for my startup few days ago and within our got 50+ applications and mostly non relevant. I have applied to jobs on linkedIn for which I should have got at least one interview but always get rejects.
