Problem Statement

 

This company came to us in 2019 because they were interested in pursuing federal funding but wanted guidance on where to begin. They were previously very successful at getting investment and commercial traction for their new leading technology, and they thought it would make a good transition over to the federal market, however they did not know how to go about making the government a customer.

Summary

Now 3+ years since they started working with us, they continue to receive regular revenue from their government customers.

A company who began with no government experience was able to leverage the sole-source authority that Long Capture helped them to achieve to go on and win 2 Phase III awards on their own. Even as they developed their own traction in the federal market, we were able to partner with them again and add significant value to their model, leading them to achieve another phase III award.
