Government Partnerships Studio — we help companies win U.S. government as a customer.
The U.S. government is the biggest regulated buyer on Earth, spending over $700B annually. But founders don't speak FAR/OT/CSO, and primes aren't a shortcut. Too many breakthrough dual-use technologies die in the valley of death between innovation and procurement.
We've been on both sides of the table — as engineers and operators who've helped build companies from zero to IPO-track, and as government insiders who know what makes proposals win. We've helped companies go from startups to prime contractors.
Winning once does not equal winning programmatically. You need capture strategy, contracting vehicles, compliance infrastructure, cash flow management, and the right contacts. Most importantly, you need someone who can be your voice and agent inside the procurement system.
We work as partners inside your company. We underwrite your strategy, provide testing facilities, make warm introductions, and help you navigate from SBIRs to prime contracts. Our team includes engineers, operators, accountants, and ex-government leaders who've done this before.
