Startup Founders; Government Affairs is Your Secret Weapon 🚀

It all begins with an idea.

Most founders focus on solving a problem and how to replicate it, but in today's complex world, ignoring politics and regulation is an existential threat to your success. Startups aren't just products; they're economic and cultural disruptions, ensuring you have a team you can trust for a robust government affairs strategy is essential for survival and growth.

Your market is not just the commercial or defense sectors, it includes policymakers and regulators. Companies like Uber and SpaceX succeeded not just through innovation, but by actively influencing policy and building alliances. Governments are actively setting policies that will determine which technologies will survive, much less be procured by the federal government. Early engagement is crucial to shape these regulations and seize opportunities like federal funding and tax incentives.

You need a government affairs strategy to ensure your pathway to success. Be proactive, hire strategically, engage and influence policymakers, work in a coalition, and be a partner to the government. 

Tenley Strategies is your trusted partner to ensure your government affairs strategy is as innovative as your technology.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
