Meet Our Special Guest, Christine Howard

Founder & CEO @EBHConsulting & StartupFundHub.com | Non-dilutive Funding Development (SBIR/STTR) & External Evaluation expert | NSF I-corp mentor, advisor, and pitch judge. Find me on #Clubhouse @Brinkhus

Since starting E.B. Howard Consulting, we have secured well over $60M in non-dilutive funding (e.g., SBIR/STTR funding), created hundreds of custom funding menu roadmaps for startups and small businesses, written hundreds of successful proposals for clients, and have evaluated several federally funded projects and programs.

I am passionate about equal access to funding (dilutive and non-dilutive) for women and minority-owned start-ups. So passionate that in 2014, I started compiling a list of various investment firms that will NOT make a funding decision based on your AGE, GENDER, or ETHNICITY. In 2020, the next evolution of my passion is/was the launch of StartupFundHub.com – a self-service subscription database for non-dilutive funding. Our COVID-19 database is open to the public.
