THE DCODE PROGRAM
Dcode runs a three-month accelerator program that helps emerging tech companies ‘break the code’ of working with the government quickly. Companies selected for our accelerator programs receive strategic support and exposure in all of the business areas critical to go-to-market successfully in government:
EXPOSURE
With access to both industry and government, Dcode’s networking program helps companies connect directly with hundreds of agencies and potential corporate partners. We also help companies gain quick name recognition through press and events.
Go-To-Market Strategic Support
The government market is complicated, nuanced, and has its own language (all those acronyms!). So we roll up our sleeves helping our companies get up to speed and on the road to government success. This includes: getting on contracting vehicles, developing government-specific marketing, pricing, and channels, providing education on security compliance, and assisting with tech roadmaps. Participants graduate with a PhD in government and a rock-solid go-to-market plan of attack.
Bidding and Winning
When the time comes to bid on contracts, we provide the support and know-how companies need to win, up to and including proposal reviews. Using strategic contracting vehicles, we help agencies find the technologies they need, faster.
Post Graduation
Our alumni enjoy a lifetime of support, advice, and access to the invaluable Dcode community. Additional services might include: business development, marketing, and more.
Mentorship
An entire army of industry experts, former government executives, and corporate partners stand ready to help our companies take off. Even if you have previous government experience, you’ll find our network one-of-a-kind.
TESTIMONIES
We were able to establish connections and a network in government that would have taken years to establish on our own.
– Chris Nicholson, Skymind
With my past government experience, I was hesitant about applying. But Dcode was absolutely critical in helping us launch our government practice and get to success quickly. I couldn’t have done it without them.
– Erin Hawley, DataRobot
Government is a maze. The knowledge, experience, and reach of the Dcode team is incredible. I don’t know how we could figured it all out without Dcode.
– Dan Enthoven, Domino Data Lab
Time at a startup is precious. Dcode really helped us laser focus on what problem to solve inside government.
– Todd Searle, Catalytic
We applied to the Dcode program to help kickstart our federal business, and that’s exactly what we got. Two thumbs way up!
