AND YOU GET TO SHAPE IT
Be one of the first 100 Alpha Users.
Here's the reality: AI is going to fundamentally change how we work in government contracting. The question isn't whether this transformation will happen—it's who gets to influence how it unfolds.
I'm building Govafy.com—an AI-Powered platform for government contractors, consultants, capture and proposal teams. I'm looking for 100 people to help shape it from the ground up. Not as passive users, but as active co-creators who understand the real challenges because they live them every day.
If you join the alpha program, you'll get early access, direct input on what gets built, and 50% off the eventual launch price—locked in permanently. But more importantly, you'll help ensure that the AI tools being built for this industry actually solve the problems that matter.
Why Your Input Matters
Over 15 years, I've trained 16,000 government contracting companies. I've seen patterns—what strategies lead to wins, what mistakes cost contracts, where the operational bottlenecks really are. I've coached proposal managers through brutal deadlines and consulted with firms managing dozens of simultaneous pursuits.
The insights are there. The lessons are clear. But until now, they've been trapped in training sessions, coaching calls, and my own experience.
AI finally makes it possible to codify all of this into software that's available when you need it. But I can't build this in isolation. The people who struggle with proposals at 2 AM, who juggle multiple clients, who manage compliance matrices across different agencies—you understand the nuances I might miss.
I need small business owners who know what it's like to write proposals while running operations.
I need consultants who are trying to scale their expertise across growing client lists.
I need proposal writing firms managing simultaneous deadlines and maintaining quality under pressure.
Your real-world experience is what will make this software tool actually useful versus just theoretically interesting.
From Bamboo Walls to the GovCon Industry
I was born in a jungle village in Laos—no electricity, dirt floors, bamboo walls. My childhood village survived through collective wisdom: hunters, gatherers, elders watching children, young apprentices learning the craft. Everyone contributed their unique skills. No one was alone.
That tribal mindset shaped everything I would build.
In 2006, I discovered government contracting—a seductive goddess with the perfume of $2.3 trillion in annual spending. While others were intimidated by the complexity, I was intoxicated. I studied, traveled, learned from contracting officers, GovCon entrepreneurs, program managers and other industry leaders.
That love affair led me to found the Government Contractors Association, where I've helped facilitate over $2 billion in contract wins and trained 16,000 companies.
The Realization
For years, I've provided education, training, coaching, and consulting. I've worked with proposal firms managing impossible deadlines, consultants trying to scale, small businesses navigating their first contracts.
I realized something: Traditional methods have limits. They scale linearly. One coach can only help so many clients. One consultant has only so many hours.
But AI scales differently.
The lessons learned from thousands of companies—their successes, failures, and strategies—can now be codified into software. Everything I've learned can be made available 24/7, at the exact moment when someone needs it.
The Problem We're Solving
For small businesses:
Proposals take weeks of labor that pulls people away from delivery and business development. You're juggling opportunities, tracking certifications, managing registrations, identifying teaming partners—all while trying to maintain relationships and execute contracts.
For consultants:
You're trying to serve multiple clients with the depth each deserves, but your expertise doesn't scale with your ambitions.
For proposal firms: You're managing simultaneous proposals with overlapping deadlines. Each client expects instant expertise in their domain, past performance, and positioning. Writers burn out. Quality control bottlenecks. Pricing gets squeezed.
All of this happens across Word documents, spreadsheets, and sheer mental bandwidth.

Built specifically for government contracting workflows, our calendar automatically tracks proposal deadlines, internal milestones, and team availability. Features AI-powered conflict detection, predictive risk alerts when timelines are at risk, smart scheduling suggestions, time blocking, resource management, and Gantt chart views. Syncs with Google and Outlook so you never miss a deadline and can proactively manage workload across multiple proposals.

For proposal firms specifically:
Imagine onboarding a new client and having AI instantly learn their capabilities, past performance, and positioning. Then deploy that knowledge across your entire writing team, ensuring consistency while maintaining quality.
Foundation for Future Growth
What we've built isn't just a proposal tool—it's the foundation for something much larger. The underlying architecture is designed to expand into a full GovCon AI-Powered solution, supporting the complete government contracting lifecycle. This matters because you're not investing in a point solution that will need to be replaced as you grow. You're getting in on the ground floor of a comprehensive platform built to scale with your business.

With your feedback, we'll prioritize and build:
Relationship Management (CRM): Kanban boards specifically for contracting officers, program managers, and teaming partners
Opportunity Pipeline: Automated feeds from SAM.gov and SLED sites with AI-powered fit analysis
Certification Portal: Obtain certifications, manage all certifications, registrations, and compliance with expiration alerts
AI Intelligence Matching: Advanced teaming partner suggestions, agency buyer identification, market trend analysis
Contract Execution: Project management for deliverables, milestones, and performance
Pricing Tools: Historical pricing analysis and competitive positioning
Compliance Tracking: Automated monitoring and alerts for regulatory requirements
Contract Management: Manage your awards with built in contract management process
Every feature addresses real pain points I've watched contractors struggle with across thousands of engagements.

For years, I've wanted to build this. The technology wasn't ready. Now it is—and we've already proven the concept works.
Unlike generic business software, Govafy.com is purpose-built for government contracting. It speaks Governese fluently. It's built on lessons learned from every coaching session, every training, every success and failure I've witnessed.
The platform exists. Now we need your real-world experience to make it exceptional.

The Vision
My childhood village thrived because collective wisdom was shared. Over the years, I've gathered wisdom from thousands of companies—strategies that led to wins, mistakes that cost contracts, positioning that scored highest.
Now that wisdom lives in AI-powered software, accessible 24/7 to anyone who needs it.
Govafy is the codification of everything I've learned, made available to help the next generation succeed.
For years, I've been limited by hours in a day. AI removes those limits—not by replacing human expertise, but by multiplying its impact.
