Expert Network GovTech Defense
Overview
OnFrontiers is a New York-based expert network that has focused itself on the US federal and government-contracting world, with roughly 17,000 subject-matter experts spanning some 1,300 agencies. Engagements scale from a single hour-long call to multi-month advisory. For VCs this is a niche but sharp tool: diligencing defense-tech, govtech or public-sector-revenue startups means understanding procurement, and OnFrontiers reaches the people who ran it.
