Episode Description

Government contracting moves $750B+ a year.

But the system still runs on PDFs, spreadsheets, and human bottlenecks.

This week, Derek Hoyt — CEO & Co-Founder of GovSignals — joins Tyler to talk about what happens when you aim AI directly at procurement.

They dig into:

  • Why contracting shops are gutted but the dollars keep growing
  • The hidden cost of B&P burn inside defense companies
  • Why most new defense startups underestimate procurement
  • How shrinking a 30-day cycle to a week changes everything
  • And what it would take to move from risk-averse to risk-on
