Problem Statement 

Robotire came to Long Capture after previously working with another firm. They were looking for a more hands-on approach to government funding, and appreciated Long Capture’s model, in which our whole team helps to guide their way through the process.

They expressed appreciation over the fact that they worked in a partnership with different members of our team, ultimately providing a wholistic and communicative pathway through the process.

Summary 

When Robotire began working with us, they already had a few irons in the federal fire. They just needed more guidance to help them transition from SBIR Phase I and II awards to higher-dollar wins.

Long Capture got to work creating a strategy that would both capitalize on past wins, as well as tee up other opportunities.

We were working with another company prior to working with Long Capture, but we were drawn to the Long Capture team's hands-on approach with their clients, and have immensely benefitted from this intentional approach since signing.
