Public Sector Strategy& Government Engagement

Built for PUBLIC SECTOR Growth. Backed by Experience.

You’ve built something compelling in the private sector. Now you’re ready to compete in the public arena — whether that means winning federal contracts, navigating defense compliance, or scaling your impact through public-private partnerships. That’s where we come in.

Growth Avenue now offers government and defense advisory services led by Alex Wagner, Partner and former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Air Force. Alex has advised the President of the United States, briefed Congress, and managed multibillion-dollar portfolios at the Pentagon. He brings decades of experience at the highest levels of public service to Growth Avenue — helping high-growth organizations move with clarity, credibility, and confidence inside the most complex systems in the world.

If you’re ready to operate at that level in the public sector arena, we’re ready to help you get there.

  • Strategic Positioning for Public Sector Entry

    Get clear on where you fit — and how to win.

    We help you map the agency, policy, and procurement landscape, define your go-to-market approach, and shape your messaging to resonate with government stakeholders. Whether your goal is market entry, policy influence, or procurement readiness, we’ll build a strategy that meets the moment.

  • Partnership & Stakeholder Development

    The right allies open the right doors.

    We work with clients to identify and cultivate relationships across government, academia, and the nonprofit sector. From federal pilots to state-level coalition building, we help translate private-sector innovation into public-sector impact.

  • Internal Readiness & Cultural Alignment

    Operate like a partner government can trust.

    We assess your internal capabilities, align team structures and compliance expectations, and prepare your leadership for the pace and process of public-sector engagement. If you want to win government work, your team needs to think and operate like a trusted collaborator.

Real Client public sector case study: Securing a $3M DoD Contract in Six Months

A mid-sized defense-tech company partnered with Growth Avenue’s public sector services to accelerate its federal growth strategy. Together, we mapped five federal agencies, identified high-probability program fits, and built warm access pathways through targeted stakeholder mapping and referrals.

We restructured their compliance roadmap to meet CMMC requirements and prepared them for federal audits without disrupting core operations. Within six months, they progressed from initial outreach to securing a $3M Phase II SBIR contract with the U.S. Army Futures Command, establishing a repeatable pipeline for follow-on DoD opportunities.

Why Growth Avenue

We’ve helped companies scale into eight- and nine-figure outcomes across eCommerce, manufacturing, AI, and tech. We’re also helping them succeed in the public sector — where the systems are larger, the sales cycles are longer, and the impact is generational.

With Alex Wagner’s two decades of public sector experience leading your engagement, you’re not guessing. You’re getting strategy shaped by real-world experience — from briefing the Situation Room to shaping defense budgets and negotiating inside the Pentagon. This isn’t theory. This is how you move in public sector rooms that matter.
