This Bill could provide greater economic growth to our country than almost any measure Congress could take. Small growing businesses rely on angel investment to grow from startup to thriving enterprises. Tens of thousands of small businesses have great potential, but are too small to attract venture capital. This Bill fills the gap. This is a pro-growth, pro-jobs bill. Hence the bi-partisan support.

Worth the risk. I wrote about this bill on www.CreditCardVC.com. There is a risk of too much funding of bad deals, but it's worth the risk, I think.

We have a similar program in Maryland specifically for biotech companies and it has been enourmously successful. The key to preventing abuse is to carefully limit qualified companies to those undertaking high-risk R&D. Perhaps this should be linked to the SBIR progrma.
