Matthew Weinberg, former Special Advisor to the SBA's Office of Investment and Innovation, disagrees with you. With respect to the SBIR program, he said:
"It’s fundamentally astounding that the federal government—not private venture capital firms or banks—is the entity backing these moonshot investments that end up changing the world[1]."
- jakelazaroff 7y agoThat quote comes from this Fundera blog post [1], which speaks positively about the SBIR program: > If your small business focuses on developing scientific or technological breakthroughs, we’ll tell you exactly how to get the SBIR funds you need to change the world. Given that, I would assume Matthew Weinberg agrees with GP, and means "astounding" with a positive connotation.
