Welcome back to The Growth and Scaling Podcast! 


Join us as ⁠Scott Hayford⁠, Founder and CEO of ⁠BlackHays Group⁠, discusses how his firm helps tech startups secure government contracts with a focus on sustainability and long-term relationships. From a solo venture to a team of 22, his approach has helped clients secure $15-$17 million in awards while extending their runway and avoiding costly consultants.



Scott emphasizes the flexibility of his work model, allowing team members to contribute without the pressures of full-time roles, particularly benefiting those transitioning to later stages of their careers. BlackHays Group offers affordable consulting, focusing on client growth rather than taking a percentage of awards, and prioritizes fulfillment over profit.



Tune in to learn how Scott helps startups overcome challenges like funding struggles, military-to-civilian transitions, and navigating slow government processes, all while building key relationships to secure contracts.
