The Amalgamation GovCon Accelerator
From Small Business to Big Bids
A 6-month accelerator designed to help you compete—and win—in government contracting with step-by-step personal coaching, bidding resources and software, and a community that’s got your back.
Why Join?
Government contracting wasn’t built for you. We are.
You’ve got the talent. The grit. The hustle.
But government contracting (GovCon)? It’s confusing, time-consuming, expensive, and full of invisible rules—and the systems meant to help are scattered, underfunded, or don’t meet you where you are.
The Amalgamation GovCon Accelerator was built to change that. We combine expert coaching, practical tools, affordable bid support, and real-time strategy to help you learn the process, build your confidence, and start competing for contracts that can grow your business.
