The Secret Behind “No-Cost Coaching”
The Department of War (DoW) understands that the best technology often comes from small businesses and non-traditional innovators who can't afford expensive lobbyists or consultants. They need your tech, so they pay us to find you.
Vertx Partners operates in support of the WIN program under a formal Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA).
The Funding Model
To remove barriers to entry for innovative American businesses, the WIN program funds our concierge operations entirely. You receive a concierge-level strategy, typically costing thousands in the private sector, at zero cost to you.
The Experts
Vertx Partners is made up of veterans and industry insiders who have been on both sides of the equation. We’re by your side to help you develop your strongest strategies and identify the best opportunities. The final goal is always tech transition.
The Authority
Vertx Partners operates under a formal Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA). This designation grants us specific authority to act as a bridge, allowing us to help you translate your commercial capabilities directly into a language the military understands.
The Network
Whether you’re an investor, small business, or research institution, Vertx connects you to a nationwide network and pairs you with relevant opportunities. You'll learn how to procure the right opportunities and collaborators to create the kind of "super-teams" the government loves to fund.
Built to Help You Take Action
Most advisors charge you to tell you where the door is. Vertx Partners opens it for you. Our model takes you from "outsider" to "contender" by focusing on three core pillars.
Assessment & Education
Vertx supplies a rich library of Resources and Guides right from the start, but we also analyze your capabilities and goals to determine exactly where you fit in the federal landscape, working with you one-on-one to provide the concierge service you require.
Strategic Matching
The government buys teams, not just technologies. We connect you with the right partners, from academic researchers to large prime contractors, to strengthen your proposals. Partnering with Vertx is partnering with a rich network of like-minded innovators and entities.
Opportunity Identification
Solicitations and opportunity calls are confusing and filled with government jargon. We help you filter out the noise by identifying specific opportunities that align with your capabilities and move the needle.
