To make federal business opportunities easier for others, a business intelligence provider must have first hand knowledge of pursuing federal government contracts opportunities. That experience can only be acquired by having single-handedly bootstrapped your own government contracting firm and ran it successfully for many years, grew it to a hundred plus employees, and had an epiphany of wanting to make the process easier for everyone. There needs to be this social cause for doing this with a passion. At Fedmine we can say that all of the above holds true for us—can any other provider claim similar credentials? We do not believe so.
