Brother 8Mile, Thank you so much. I just won my first Gov Contract today. Small one, about 35k but I am now in the books baby! They have immediately offered me 4 more projects. That's a potential $140k in a snap. Bless you Man. Keep touching our lives. Your purpose is not for naught. Murica! 💯

I've been trying too learn this for so long.... In 2019, I had the opportunity to sell my missile design to the gov. However, Instead of selling a single design.. I'm aiming to have my company obtain a contract and become a defense partner. . . Do you all think this is possible? I am building out a prototype as well. . . . I will truly appreciate any information on this. Thank you!

Yea this is one of the most straight to the point no bs informative example story of how you went through the process . That’s all I’ve been looking for why does every other govcon KZfaqr waste so much time with introductions and what not, speaking for hours without really even saying anything about the small details involved with contracting.

Good question, Axel. The government pays NET 30 after you’re setup on their invoicing system. They don’t give you cash upfront. It will either be a monthly billing or progress payments depending on the type of work it is. So you need to be able to float that until you are reimbursed.
