About the Company
- GovSignals is the AI system of work for government contracting.
- It can take the government longer to buy a capability than an adversary takes to field one, and we exist to close that gap.
- We're the only startup managing government contract data with AI in both FedRAMP High and DoW Impact Level 5 environments.
- Our platform monitors 5,000+ live government data sources, 100,000+ federal and state agencies, and 2,000,000+ government contracts in real time.
- Our customers range from small contractors to Fortune 500 primes with billions in annual awards, and our government work reaches mission critical contract management.
- In the past 18 months, we've earned FedRAMP High and IL5 authorizations, joined GSA MAS and the MDA SHIELD IDIQ, and signed some of the biggest names in government contracting.
- GovSignals was founded by four cofounders who lived with this problem from both sides — selling to the government and serving inside it — with backgrounds across the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Energy, Palantir, Amazon, federal contractors building for missiles, and state contractors building for prisons.
- The team at GovSignals has shipped to defense companies, scaled venture-backed startups, and founded companies of their own.
Equal Opportunity
- GovSignals is an equal opportunity employer.
