The Liberty Ion Advantage
"Liberty Ion played an essential role in helping us win our DOD SBIR. Their team brought deep expertise in federal grant processes and provided structured, clear support throughout the development of our submission. They were instrumental in translating our technical vision into a compelling proposal that aligned with the DOD’s mission. We’re excited to continue working with them as we move toward contract negotiations and Phase II planning."
— Jamie Strachan, CEO Nabaco
"Working with Liberty Ion strengthened and focused our Phase II proposal. They sharpened our story, moved fast on letters of support, and helped build our indirect and fringe rates."
— Scott Urquhart, President, Zonge International.
“We were excited to work with Evan on this proposal. He and the Liberty Ion team were instrumental in getting it across the finish line—aligning our team early, ensuring all required documents were submitted, building a fully compliant budget (including fringe and indirect rate calculations), and crafting a compelling narrative. They worked closely with our staff throughout the process, submitted everything on time, and proactively followed up with the agency to close out post-submission requirements.”
— Konstantin Tikhonov, Director of Battery R&D, Nanotech Energy
“Liberty Ion has been a trusted and valuable partner to MCPC since early 2025. Their team provided strong proposal guidance and strategic support that helped us successfully win a grant proposal, and we recently worked together again to submit another funding opportunity. We truly appreciate their professionalism, responsiveness, and continued commitment to helping us move important projects forward.”
— Steve Golab, Director of Finance and Operations, Music City PrEP Clinic
“We’ve been working with Liberty Ion for more than a year, since the summer of 2025, on grant applications with the NSF, DLA, DIBC, and DOE. What sets them apart, though, is that they go well beyond grant writing.
One of Liberty Ion’s superpowers is their ability to find the right teaming partners and secure letters of support. Building those relationships can be one of the most intimidating parts of putting together a strong proposal, and they make it easy. They’ve connected us with companies in the battery manufacturing space, academic partners, and other organizations that strengthen both our proposals and our business. Their network is unparalleled.
They’ve also supported us technically by helping analyze our materials, coordinating testing services, and translating the results into clear reports we could use with investors. Their advice extends beyond proposal strategy; they’ve become a valuable sounding board for our broader company strategy as well.
Liberty Ion is a small, highly experienced team led by Evan, a materials chemistry PhD who has founded, raised Series A, and successfully exited his own technology company. He personally understands the challenges that come with building a hard-tech business.
Most importantly, Liberty Ion genuinely cares about its clients. They feel less like a consultant and more like a partner invested in our success.”
— Emily Avagliano, CEO, Resollant
"Liberty Ion was extremely proactive in supporting our proposal effort. Evan was great at making industry outreach and helped us secure a critical letter of support from a major company on an exceptionally tight timeline."
— Kevin Lu, President, EEL Drone
“Liberty Ion helped us develop our proposal from start to finish, from securing letters of support to preparing the budget, commercialization plan, technical narrative, and supporting documentation. They made a complex process far more manageable.”
— Ryan DuChanois, Founder & CEO, Solidec
"Liberty Ion's support through our SBIR Phase I TABA project helped us secure valuable letters of support, identify potential teaming partners, and establish connections with prospective customers. Their expertise and proactive approach strengthened our commercialization strategy and expanded our business development opportunities.”
— Dr. Feng Zhao, CEO, Storagenergy Technologies Inc.
“Liberty Ion stepped in on short notice and worked late to help us get a strong proposal across the finish line, securing letters of support on a tight timeline.”
— Dariusz Startek, CEO, STEL Controls.
