Yes. SBIR/STTR programs have no gender requirements but actively encourage women-owned businesses. The NSF offers specific outreach to women in tech. Foundations like the Cartier Women's Initiative and the Halcyon Incubator support women in technology and innovation.
Competition varies widely. Large national grants like the Cartier Women's Initiative receive thousands of applications. Local and state programs may have 10-50 applicants. Micro-grants and niche programs tend to be less competitive. A strong business plan, clear financials, and alignment with the funder's mission significantly improve your odds.
