Founders, take note.

If you're planning to pursue SBIR or STTR funding, new federal security screening requirements could have a significant impact on your startup.

The new rules expand foreign risk reviews beyond founders and investors to include certain affiliates, partners, and business relationships tied to designated entities. Understanding these requirements early can help you avoid surprises later in the funding process.

For student entrepreneurs building companies today, compliance is becoming just as important as innovation.
