Creative Business Development & Marketing for Government Contractors
We're the strategic rebels who refuse to let small businesses lose to boring proposals.
From market intelligence and relationship building to capture strategy and knockout proposal development, we help you stand out with creativity and intention.
Most consultants focus solely on proposal writing. We start months before RFPs drop. We position you strategically, build meaningful agency relationships, and create the competitive advantages that make you the obvious choice when opportunities arise.
What We (Actually) Do
We exclusively serve small businesses navigating government contracting because we understand the unique constraints and opportunities you face. No generalist consulting here.

Agency Relationship Development
Build connections that matter.
Capture Strategy & Competitive Positioning
Stand out before proposals start.
Creative Proposal Development & Design
Proposals that actually get noticed.
Pipeline Management & Growth Strategy
Systematic growth, not random luck.
The RFP Chase Cycle
(And Why Capable Businesses Keep Losing)
Spoiler alert:
The problem isn't your expertise. It's your approach.
You scroll through endless opportunities, get overwhelmed by the volume, and cherry-pick what looks interesting.
Step 1: Scan For Opportunities
You spend weeks deciphering requirements, writing proposals at midnight, and guessing what evaluators want to hear.
Step 2: Panic Mode Activated
Step 3: Submit and Cross Your Fingers
Your proposal disappears into the government black hole. You wait months for results while refreshing your email.
You receive a generic "thanks but no thanks" letter with zero feedback on how to improve.
Step 4: Rejection (Again)
Frustrated but determined, you go back to Step 1 and wonder why this keeps happening.
Step 5: Rinse and Repeat
Why The
“RFP Chase Cycle” Guarantees
Failure
-
Winning contractors begin positioning 6-12 months before RFPs are published. By the time you see an opportunity, the real competition has already built relationships and influenced requirements.
-
Government contracting success requires market intelligence, relationship building, capture strategy, AND proposal excellence. Focusing only on proposals is like trying to win a football game by only practicing the final play.
-
Without strategic positioning and relationships, you're forced to compete solely on price—a race that small businesses rarely win.
-
You're writing proposals with no insight into what evaluators actually want, who your real competition is, or how to differentiate your approach.
The result? Months of effort with minimal return, leading to proposal burnout and the false belief that government contracting "doesn't work" for small businesses.
Plot twist: government contracting works great. The RFP chase approach doesn't.
How We Work Together: Our 5-Step Process
Built for small businesses. Designed to position you for predictable success. Our process is comprised of five stages designed to transform you from RFP chaser to strategic contractor:
Discovery
We start by understanding your current positioning, capabilities, and competitive landscape. Before we can build a winning strategy, we need to know where you actually stand in the government contracting world—not where you think you stand.
Position
We dig deep into your unique value proposition, target agencies, and market opportunities. Every winning contract starts with strategic positioning that makes you the obvious choice before proposals even begin.
Create
This is where we develop your professional materials—capability statements, past performance documentation, and proposal templates that actually work. No generic templates here; everything is tailored to your specific strengths and target opportunities.
Ignite
Whether it's your first proposal or ongoing pipeline management, we spark your strategy into action while keeping you informed. You focus on running your business while we focus on winning you contracts.
Evolve
We continuously refine your approach based on real results. Win or lose, every opportunity teaches us something that makes the next one stronger.
Your Creative Partner for Winning Government Proposals
