Virtual Partner Pitch Program

The virtual Partner Pitch Program (vP³) provides Phase II awardees with the opportunity to be promoted to potential strategic partners/investors and to potentially brief them in a non-threatening environment (virtually). Over 130 DOE-funded Phase II awardees have participated in the vP3 since it launched in 2023. 

The FY25 vP3 cohort consists of 72 DOE Phase II awardees pitching in 11 different pitch sessions organized by technology and/or target industry.  Launching on Tuesday, April 29th, visit https://www.orau.gov/2025SBIRPitch to review the FY25 vP3 schedule and register to attend.

Prior to the live pitch session, participating Phase II awardees receive coaching and practice presenting their pitch. New in FY25, Phase Shift coaches will provide mentoring and support for the program. Learn more about participating in the FY25 cohort by watching the (Video | Slides) from our January 14^th informational webinar.

While the DOE Office of SBIR/STTR programs will invite relevant stakeholders to attend the pitch sessions, there is no guarantee of attendance and/or resultant partnership. It will be up to the individual participants to nurture and develop strategic relationships between interested parties.
