A Letter From the Founder

Hey,

Government contracting has changed.

AI is changing the game from both sides, and everything that happened in 2026 — from executive orders to FAR changes and acquisition reform — is changing how businesses need to think about GovCon going into 2027.

So we thought…

Why not bring all sides of the GovCon game into one room?

That's why we created the GovPreneurs Summit.

On November 9–10 in Raleigh, we're bringing together:

Government officials and KOs to show you what is changing from their side.
Prime contractors and business owners already winning to share what is actually working right now.
Our GovCon mentors and AI engineers to show you how to use AI, find the right opportunities, make better bid / no-bid decisions, understand RFPs, and compete smarter.

The government side. The people winning. And your side.

My goal is for you to leave Raleigh knowing what changed, where GovCon is going, and what you need to do next.

And of course…

With a wallet full of business cards from people actually worth knowing. :)

One more thing.

Your Summit doesn't start November 9. It starts the day you buy your ticket.

You'll get access to our technology and our private Summit community so you can start meeting people and connecting with speakers before you even come to Raleigh.

I don't want you walking in on Day 1 not knowing anybody. I want you already connected before you walk through the door.

If government contracting is part of your future, I'd love to personally invite you to join us.

Come spend two days with us in Raleigh. I think you'll be glad you did.

Stay blessed,

Timur Sabir
