Welcome to Clark Street Associates
Clark Street Associates is an advisory firm located in Silicon Valley and Washington DC that offers custom end-to-end solutions for our clients to secure targeted government funding, by combining entrepreneurial business development and technology experience with government strategy, marketing, and services.
Our Services
Through multiple funding bills, including the CHIPS Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (aka the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the federal government has recently created more than $500 billion dollars for new grants, loans and tax incentives for advanced semiconductor, packaging, climate-related technologies and other advanced manufacturing companies.
We specialize in developing and implementing innovative government strategies and solutions to secure federal and state funding that drive commercial business growth and overall corporate valuation for technology companies at all stages of development.
Federal & State Funding
We work with many different Federal and State government agencies to develop custom grant and contract funding opportunities specifically tailored to support our clients’ commercial technology development and business plans.
Manufacturing Grants & Site Selection
We help domestic and overseas clients secure ideal U.S. manufacturing sites including customized incentive packages that maximize the overall short & long-term value.
Demonstrations & Pilot Programs
We create customized government funded programs to do high-profile demonstrations and pilot projects for your technology and products.

$3.5 BILLION
Clark Street has secured over $3.5 billion in non-dilutive funding for our clients. We offer customized solutions for companies to increase valuations at all stages of growth.
Industries
We work with clients of all sizes in multiple technology sectors, from mid-stage start-ups to global Fortune 500 companies. We focus on innovative companies that are pushing the state of the art or have the potential for significant industry disruption.
Semiconductors & Advanced Packaging
As new, massive federal and state funding opportunities are being released through the CHIPS Act, the competition for this funding is enormous. Clark Street has worked at the heart of the federal government’s semiconductor strategy for the past decade, including the creation and administration of the CHIPS Act funding. We leverage deep government and commercial relationships and significant past experience in multiple semiconductor sectors to create and capture maximum value for our clients.
Industrial Decarbonization
Eliminating carbon emissions from industrial processes is a top priority for the federal government, with billions of dollars available in grants for companies to build new manufacturing plants and to retrofit existing manufacturing facilities to incorporate the most advanced industrial decarbonization technologies.
Energy & Storage Systems
Advanced renewable energy solutions and large scale energy storage for automotive, grid and industrial applications are critical areas for the U.S. economy and national security. Billions of dollars in grant funding have been allocated for commercial companies to build manufacturing, demonstrate technology, and deploy new commercial products and services in all areas of advanced energy and storage systems.
Commercial Space & Aeronautics
With the recent expansion of commercial space companies, and the extraordinary pace of commercial aeronautics technology advances, the U.S. government has shifted much of their focus (and spending) toward commercial technology development and deployment of innovative technologies.
Artificial Intelligence
As artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to develop, opportunities for development, demonstration and deployment are abundant. The government is also willing to rapidly adopt new technologies, and is a proven partner in this area.
