What is the DOE FY26 Genesis Mission pitch stage?
DOE's FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR opportunity starts with a Phase I pitch: a short, structured submission with hard requirements on sections, lengths, and award caps (up to $250,000, or $256,500 with TABA). Our Pitch Stage Builder reads your inputs against the verified requirements of that exact solicitation.
What happens to my answers?
Your results render on this page — we don't email them to you. We do store your inputs and results: so a refresh doesn't re-run them, so they can be waiting in your workspace if you sign up, and so we can improve the tool. We never publish or share them, and if you never give us an email we delete the run after 30 days.
What is the connector?
Catalyzing Concepts skills run inside your own AI assistant — Claude or ChatGPT — through our connector. Your workspace, your knowledge base, our commercialization methods. This page is a taste of two skills; the connector carries the full catalog.
The deadline isn't moving. Your readiness can.
