While many founders focus on B2B or B2C as their primary markets, there’s another massive opportunity hiding in plain sight: the U.S. federal government. Join us at Startup Forum to hear from a panel of experts on the advantages of selling to the federal government — and how to break into this high-value market. Our moderator, David Leffler, will show you that the government is an entire – and valuable – market in and of itself. Join our panel of experts representing all sides of the national security market to hear from the perspectives of a startup founder, government contractor, and a federal acquisitions representative. David Leffler’s background in the national security community is as vast as it is deep: he began his national security career in DC as a counterterrorism analyst for the Department of Homeland Security, earned a Master's degree in National Security Affairs, and has led a weapon of mass destruction response training program at the then-Department of Defense. He's currently a Marine Corps reservist; founded Passway Solutions to consult generalist investors about the national security sector; is a Defense Fellow at Marque Ventures; and volunteers as the Co-Lead of the Front Range chapter of the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum (DEF). About Beck Venture Center's Startup Forum: Startup Forum is a program series designed to empower entrepreneurs with essential knowledge and insights crucial for startup success. Each session within the series features a diverse lineup of industry experts and thought leaders who delve into a wide array of topics including accounting basics for Startups, discovering a winning B2B value proposition, venture capital insights, founder panels, and practical advice on capital fundraising. Beck Venture Center’s Startup Forum provides invaluable guidance and networking opportunities aimed at equipping founders and entrepreneurs with the tools and understanding needed to navigate the competitive startup landscape effectively. The local startup community is the heartbeat of the Beck Venture Center, and we ensure plenty of time for networking at every startup forum event! Come network with us and enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks. We hope to see you there!
