Today we’re announcing a $30M Series B to build the rails for doing business with the government.

Government contractors power critical missions, from securing federal networks and keeping aircraft mission-ready to responding to disasters and modernizing the systems Americans rely on. But the work is hard in all the wrong ways: dense solicitations, strict compliance, long workflows, and nonstop admin overhead. Too much time gets burned just staying in bounds instead of winning and delivering.

Given how important their operations are, it should be easier for teams to run them.

We started GovDash with a simple idea: give contractors a system that helps them win and run government work faster, with less risk. AI should carry the weight, automate the end-to-end grind, and keep teams focused on strategy, not paperwork.

A few years ago, it looked like that future was imminent. ChatGPT sparked real optimism that we could finally automate key capture, proposal, and contract processes at scale.

But the first wave of AI didn’t land as expected. Early models were impressive in short bursts but couldn’t reliably execute GovCon workflows end to end. The processes are too long, too intricate, and too compliance-heavy.

So most software providers looking to apply AI to GovCon took the shortcut: prompt interfaces wrapped around generic AI, dressed up for GovCon. It looked like progress, but users still did most of the work.

At GovDash, we considered this path but doubted its longevity.

We believed models would keep improving, and that the winning approach wouldn’t be “AI features”; it would be AI-native infrastructure: a workflow engine built to execute full processes reliably, starting with proposals.

Getting this approach to work requires significant R&D investment. Before running workflows end-to-end, we had to solve the fundamentals: advanced document parsing, structured solicitation understanding, accurate company knowledge organization, and a clean workflow-first UX built for compliance and speed.

Our approach also involved going multi-product early. We started with proposals, but proposals depend on capture context, past performance, solutioning, pricing strategy, contract constraints, and what happened the last time you bid. Real leverage comes from unifying the lifecycle, so context compounds across the business instead of getting lost in silos.

So we expanded into opportunity discovery, capture, solutioning, contract management, reporting, and beyond, all tied together through a single core decision: the Opportunity record at the center of the data model.

About 12 months ago, things really started to click, and our differentiation became obvious to the market. Our architecture matured, models took a real step forward, and as each GovDash product got stronger, the workflow integration got dramatically more effective.

Today, GovDash is the most accurate, execution-ready, FedRAMP Moderate Equivalent platform in GovCon: reliable RFP shredding, compliance mapping, outlines and drafts, pricing workflows, contract management, and autonomous execution orchestrated by Dash, our AI agent, on top of our workflow engine (with prompting available, but never required).

Those breakthroughs translated directly into outcomes:

• Our customers secured over $5B in contract awards in 2025 alone

• 16x revenue and customer account growth since our Series A

• 70% of teams now actively use at least 2 modules

• 501% YoY growth in daily active usage of Dash

• 73% of teams run a proposal monthly

But this is only the beginning. This Series B will help us:

• Deepen our products: Discover (opportunity finding), Capture (pursuit strategy + CRM), Proposal (compliant drafting), Pricing (scenario modeling), Contract (obligation tracking)

• Expand into additional post-award workflows

• Strengthen unification around the central Opportunity record so collaboration is effortless

• Expand Dash’s agentic capabilities to new products

• Build first-class sharing so teammates, subsidiaries, and partners can work together

GovDash is building the rails for doing business with the government. We’re vertically integrating procurement from opportunity discovery through delivery and recompete, so teams spend less time on back-office work and more time delivering better solutions for the country.

To our customers: Thank you for your partnership. It’s a privilege to work with you.

To our team: It’s an honor to build towards this mission with you every day.

To our investors: Thank you for your belief and support.

To the market: This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to serve you.

To future teammates: Join us in helping the private sector make the public sector more competitive.
