Federal contracting strategy · Minnesota, U.S.A.

For small businesses at the start of something big.

Northstarter helps small businesses win their first government contracts: finding funded opportunities early and getting in front of the people who buy.

How we work

The government already buys what you sell. Most small businesses just look for it in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

By the time a solicitation shows up on SAM.gov, other vendors may already be in position to bid and win. Northstarter finds those opportunities early and sets you up for success.

01

Get ready

Registrations, codes, and set-aside certifications done right the first time, and a capabilities statement built to be read.

02

Find funded work early

Which agencies and offices buy what you sell? Agency forecasts and sources-sought notices, not keyword searches.

03

Get in the game

Get your capabilities before the right people at the right time.

04

Win and repeat

Teaming where it gets you in faster, disciplined bid decisions, and a pipeline that produces the second contract while you deliver the first.
