Services
Clark Street Associates is a unique advisory firm for emerging and established technology companies. We specialize in developing and implementing innovative government strategies and solutions that drive business growth and valuation.
We believe that an effective government strategy centers on your company, not the government. It starts with a full understanding of your core business, technology, and corporate objectives. Successful strategies then map a path to securing the highest-value government funding and programs to drive those core priorities. CSA handles all aspects of the government and business development process, bearing 80-90% of the total work effort needed to complete a project.
Federal & State Funding
Clark Street Associates actively works with key government agencies and funding opportunities, such as CHIPS and Science Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (aka the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law), and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), to craft new grant and contract opportunities, tailored specifically to our clients’ commercial objectives, focused in a way that will yield the highest value to our clients.
Our focus is to find opportunities that leverage our clients’ commercial goals without distracting their team from their core objectives.
Manufacturing Grants, Incentives and Site Selection
Clark Street specializes in securing large federal grants to pay for capital equipment and facilities for domestic manufacturing. Between the CHIPS and Science Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (aka the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law), and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), hundreds of billions of dollars have been allocated for these types of commercial incentives, creating an unprecedented opportunity for advanced manufacturing companies in semiconductor and climate related technologies.
In addition, Clark Street Associates helps our clients identify and secure U.S. manufacturing sites and obtain robust, customized state-level incentive packages that add to federal funding. Since we are actively working with many of these states on a continual basis, we know how to frame the potential, long-term economic impact on a region that technology companies can have – with the right messaging and understanding of each state’s economic and political motivations – in order to negotiate custom incentive packages that can be considerably higher than the “standard packages” offered to other companies.
Government Demonstrations & Pilot Programs
Clark Street Associates creates customized programs to do high-profile demonstrations and pilot projects for your technology and products with commercial partners and marque government customers. These high-profile projects are tailored specifically to drive early adoption and product sales in both commercial and government markets by providing enhanced visibility and credibility for your technology.
The validation from these sorts of projects also boosts credibility with investors, driving up corporate valuation.
Strategic Partnerships
Clark Street Associates' Business Development services help our clients establish and execute strategic partnerships. These deals are complex and multi-faceted and can involve joint-technology development, non-recurring engineering funding, commercial sales agreements, and additional capital.
We work with a wide network of industry-leading companies (both large and small) in each of our vertical industry segments and have significant expertise in structuring these transactions.
Program Management
After Clark Street Associates has secured non-dilutive funding programs for our clients, we can also help cut through the red tape of executing them, by managing all aspects of state and federal government requirements. This includes contract negotiation and administration, government reporting and any special accounting or regulatory practices that may be required by the contract.
We have a dedicated team that leads our Program Management Services, so our clients can leverage non-dilutive government funding, and not be distracted from their commercial business. This service can be billed directly to the government and entails no additional expense to the client.
