If you are a startup, leave government contracts for someone else to figure out.
By the time it comes thru and makes you a boat load of money, you will be long dead (as a company).
This was said by PG or someone definitely smarter than me.
- csmeder 17y agoI do know of one Start Up that is making huge amounts of $$$ from the government: http://www.palantirtech.com/government http://www.palantirtech.com/government . It seems that if you know how to navigate the red tape and can deliver a compelling product you can make millions.
- elblanco 17y agoMy company as well sells about 80% to the government. Government contracts are not really that big of a deal. I'd say that our commercial customers are quite a bit higher touch than our government customers. The government also seems to have a much better handle on their business processes than any of the fortune-500 companies we deal with.
