Delaware Funds Small Business Dreams | Dover News

Delaware’s bold new push for small businesses is pouring $60.9 million in federal funds into over 60 ventures since 2024—from craft beer halls to life-saving pharma tech. Through targeted programs, the state is backing high-growth startups, helping disadvantaged entrepreneurs, and easing lender risk to close funding gaps. Real stories like BioCurie’s $1M seed round that launched their AI platform—and later secured $9.3M in federal grants—show how early state support can ignite explosive growth. Meanwhile, local dreamers like Lisa Sabia, who opened a yoga studio thanks to flexible loan programs, prove this isn’t just about big tech—it’s about empowering every kind of entrepreneur. The goal? Build a thriving, job-rich economy rooted in Delaware innovation and community pride. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
