Our Mission
Decipher Labs helps companies uncover and unlock new business opportunities with the U.S. Government.
We are a boutique business development services firm that assists clients with the preparation of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposals, builds relationships with Government stakeholders on behalf of clients, and advises leadership teams on contract execution strategy, technology development, and product commercialization for U.S. Government customers and end users.
Our Philosophy
Unlike other firms that only provide consulting services, we deliver a full suite of business development services. We provide contracted BD team members who build proposals and serve as the face of your company to the U.S. Government all the way from your first Phase I SBIR/STTR proposal to Phase III roll out. We run lean and are selective about the clients we work with. We take a special interest in building a new defense industrial base for the United States of America, and are specifically seeking to work with companies who have found product-market fit for their technology in the private sector, but that have not yet executed a go-to-market strategy for government customers. We prefer to work with firms in the following sectors: Aerospace, Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, Directed Energy, Human Performance, Sensors, and Information Technologies.
We also provide advisory and consulting products to companies who are sufficiently resourced to execute their own proposal efforts. In these cases, our experienced consultants will be on call at a moments notice to guide you down the path to new business opportunities with the U.S. Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and civil government agencies.
Experience
Our team has led successful business development and technology transition efforts for emerging tech companies; served as leaders and change agents in the Department of Defense; and brings experience from the top technology companies and educational institutions in the world.
We have the bona fides needed to take your business development efforts to the next level.
Track Record
Our team has collectively won almost $30 million of SBIR and STTR contracts from Phase I all the way to STRATFI in just the past 18 months. We have an industry leading contract award rate for SBIR and STTR proposals prepared by our team. We deliver on schedule, as quoted, top tier business development services.
We work exclusively with companies that can deliver game changing value to the U.S. Government.
Expert Knowledge
We understand current U.S. Government end user needs and requirements and the complicated process of getting your tech into the hands of U.S. warfighters and intelligence professionals. We are immersed in the DoD acquisitions pipeline and can help you unlock deep understanding of this landscape.
Unparalleled ability to generate new value for your business with the most powerful buyer in the world.
Custom Support
We are a boutique firm that tailors our services specifically for each client’s needs. We limit our engagements in each proposal cycle to serve only a select few clients, which enables us to provide more customized services to you at a small business friendly price point.
We become a member of your team and augment your existing business development capabilities.
