Scale

The Scale Phase is where your startup transitions from early-stage innovation to enterprise-grade delivery.

You’ve crossed the Valley of Death—now it’s time to operationalize, expand, and embed your technology across the federal landscape.

What Scaling Looks Like in the Federal Market

‍Phase III Execution- You’ve secured a Phase III contract—non-competitive, revenue-generating, and scalable. This is where your tech moves from pilot to production, often with a sponsoring agency or program office.

‍Multi-Agency Adoption- You’re expanding beyond your initial sponsor. Other agencies, services, or commands are adopting your solution through IDIQs, OTAs, or GSA schedules. Your tech is no longer a one-off—it’s a capability.

‍Operational Integration- Your product is being integrated into workflows, systems, and missions. You’re supporting training, documentation, and sustainment. You’re not just delivering software—you’re delivering outcomes.

‍Infrastructure & Compliance at Scale- You’ve matured your operations: cleared personnel, CMMC compliance, FedRAMP (if applicable), and scalable support models. You’re ready for enterprise-level demands.

‍Strategic Partnerships- You’re collaborating with primes, integrators, and federal resellers to expand reach and accelerate adoption. You’re part of the ecosystem now.

Why It Matters

The Scale Phase is where your startup becomes a trusted federal partner. It’s where innovation meets infrastructure—and where your technology becomes a programmatic asset rather than a prototype.
