Tech-Enabled Dual-Use BD Architecture

Stop hunting for Unicorn hires. Deploy a turnkey, AI-accelerated Business Development department for the exact cost of a single mid-level W-2 employee.

The Challenge

Dual-use startups are fighting a two-front war: DoD acquisition vs. Commercial B2B. Finding one employee who can write a highly technical ARPA-E white paper, hustle commercial PR, hold a TS/SCI clearance for DoD trade shows, and travel 150 days a year is mathematically impossible. A single W-2 hire in a major tech hub costs over $210,000 fully loaded, which physically limits your company to their single calendar and skillset.

What This Service Includes

Command and Control (C2): Executive-level Chief of Staff services led by a former SOCOM Cyber Weapons Officer, covering high-level strategy, AFWERX/DoD pipeline management, pitch deck creation, and partnership follow-through.
Asymmetric Field Deployment: Pre-vetted, highly cleared Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from our proprietary GovCon network deployed as boots on the ground at targeted industry events (AUSA, SOF Week, and more).
AI-Driven Exploitation (Force Multiplier): Our proprietary, secure AI ingestion infrastructure lets field operators capture raw market intel, instantly parsed and converted into perfectly tailored, FAR-compliant follow-up communications within 24 hours. Zero dropped leads.
AFWERX and DoD Pipeline Management: End-to-end tracking of government funding opportunities, proposal timelines, and key stakeholder relationships.
Pitch Deck and White Paper Development: Technically rigorous, audience-calibrated deliverables for both government and commercial buyers.
Simultaneous Multi-Theater Deployment: Multiple cleared SMEs operating at different events across the country at the same time.

Key Deliverables

  • 01Up to 12 to 20 Tier-One targeted field strikes per year, replacing the 6 to 8 conferences a burned-out single employee could attend.
  • 02Zero payroll taxes, zero benefits liability, zero office footprint overhead.
  • 03Low-retainer plus success-fee model aligned directly to non-dilutive government funding and commercial revenue won.
