1,000+ Entrepreneurs Became GovPreneurs
$100M+ Won by Our Clients in Government Contracts
"Today I have an active two-year contract with a community college, something I never thought was possible for someone like me starting from scratch. Before talking to Mr. Timur, I had zero background in government contracting. No idea how to find opportunities, no idea how to bid, none of it. Working with this program changed that completely."
"I run a medical supply store for more than 17 years. After working with the GovPreneurs program and my amazing mentors, my first government contract alone brought in more profit than the last five years of running my business seven days a week, open to close. I can't express how grateful I am for this opportunity, and how eager I am to win more contracts together.""
"Less than 8 months ago, I didn't know what SAM was, what a CAGE code was, or that opportunities like this with government agencies even existed. Today, I have active multi-six-figure contracts and have already delivered on 2 micro contracts."
