Dr. Jenny C. Servo

Biography
Dr. Servo, the Founder and President of Dawnbreaker has more than 20 years experience in management of government contracts and in the design of programs for highly creative individuals (ranging from independent inventors to scientists with multiple advanced degrees from leading educational institutions). Change has been an on-going focus in her efforts with "transformational entrepreneurs". Cognizant of both the objectives and budget constraints of each federal customer, Dr. Servo combines best practices from instructional design and change management to the development of unique programs to fill each customer's objectives. Each program developed for Federal and state agencies are distinct and contain within them variations that address the heterogeneity of the companies participating in each program.

Dawnbreaker has worked with over 4,000 SBIR/STTR companies through programs supported by DoD, DOE, EPA, NIH, NIST, Navy, and USSOCOM. Specializing in commercialization assistance, companies which Dawnbreaker has assisted have raised more than $2.5B

Presentation Title: Preparing for Successful Commercialization of your SBIR-funded Technology
Abstract
All SBIR/STTR programs require attention to commercialization in Phase I proposals. However, expectations for commercialization planning drastically increase for Phase II applications. Dr. Servo will discuss the guidelines provided by NSF, the forerunner with respect to commercialization planning. If you understand how to address NSF requirements, you will be well prepared to address the commercialization requirements of most agencies.
