Complete a proposal that makes you proud

SEMSCIO helps startups to help create their R&D concept and move towards product commercialization. In working with our customers, we have noticed that startup businesses need various degrees of assistance with different parts of their businesses. We have fulfilled this need through customized teaching, which includes company team development to market research to technology plan development. We have also noted that many startups have similar needs, roadblocks, and challenges. Therefore, we aim to help deep tech companies to navigate these roadblocks.

Loved working with Colleen! She is very experienced and highly recommended. Already hired her for our next application!

Colleen is simply great. She helped make a daunting task easy. Since she also has strong analytical skills, it really helps with strategizing and preparing the right level of thoroughness when preparing a grant proposal.

I strongly recommend her services.
