We are a boutique firm,
focused on supporting entrepreneurs
We are pioneers and leading the charge in Entrepreneurship thru Defense Contracting (ETDC)
The path to creating a successful Federal Contracting company is known, but numerous pitfalls can quickly doom newly minted companies. We’re here to walk entrepreneurs from start-up to 1st contract and beyond.
As experienced executives, we want to provide capital and personalized support to founders to help them quickly establish their companies and accelerate their growth. We collaborate with talented entrepreneurs, mentor and equip them with practical skills, and support them – from building an initial capability statement to making their first hire as a CEO.
ETA vs ETDC
Entrepreneurship thru Acquisition (ETA) is a decades old proven model for acquiring, operating and exiting a small business. While the popularity of this model has grown since the 80s, so has the difficulty identifying and competing for acquisition targets. We believe there is a better way for talented MBAs to enter the world of entrepreneurship through a low risk and high reward model.
Entrepreneurship thru Defense Contracting (ETDC) is an alternative to ETA that provides entrepreneurs with a path to business ownership with lower risks, larger equity stakes, and professional support services geared toward ensure the company’s success.
