You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month, straight to the graveyard of good intentions.

You're not alone — and you're not tech-stupid. You just weren't given the right starting point.

Here's what most people miss: the U.S. government quietly funds small business innovation through programs like SBIR and STTR — specifically to help owners like you test new technology without betting the whole company on it. The SBA's Seed Fund Summit exists to show real businesses how to access that support.

This matters because the biggest AI mistake isn't picking the wrong tool. It's trying to fund the experiment entirely on your own, with no framework and no safety net. That's when $200/month turns into $20,000 wasted.

Before you buy another software subscription, find out if your next AI pilot qualifies for innovation funding. One application could cover your testing costs and buy you the runway to actually see results — without touching your operating budget.

That changes the risk calculation entirely.


Your action this week: Search "SBIR small business" plus your industry. See if your next AI test could be funded rather than funded by you alone.


What's the one AI tool you bought that your team never actually adopted? Drop it below — let's figure out why together.
