Accelerate90 — Launch Your Federal Growth Roadmap in 90 Days
From Roadmap to Motion
When Graviton delivers your Federal Growth Roadmap, the next question is simple: who will execute it? Most contractors stall at this point — the plan is clear, but internal bandwidth, expertise, and BD discipline aren’t in place.
That is why we created Accelerate90. It is the natural next step after the Roadmap — a fixed 90-day sprint where Graviton runs the business development engine directly. We establish cadence, activate buyers, and deliver early proof points so momentum is proven from the start.
The Model
Accelerate90 borrows from the DNA of Silicon Valley accelerators. The essence of an accelerator is a high-intensity, time-bound program that compresses years of progress into months and validates traction under pressure.
Accelerate90 applies that model to federal growth. It is not training, and it is not an open-ended consulting engagement. It is a structured 90-day execution sprint designed to rapidly launch your roadmap, de-risk the first moves, and prove that the system works.
Why It Matters
Most SMB contractors stall after strategy — not because the plan is wrong, but because execution drifts. Founders get pulled back into delivery, pipelines remain theoretical, and business development cadence never institutionalizes.
Accelerate90 addresses this by:
Fixed timeframe — 90 days, not a 12-month engagement. High intensity — rapid execution of the roadmap’s first moves. Strong deliverables — pipeline triaged, buyers activated, infrastructure installed. De-risking growth — compressing 18–24 months of trial-and-error into one quarter. Scope of Work
During the sprint, Graviton drives execution across five workstreams:
Pipeline Triage — Prioritize 10+ pursuits aligned with your roadmap and GovTribe signals. Buyer Activation — Execute disciplined outreach; establish new contracting and program office relationships. Vehicle Leverage — Identify SAP and sole-source opportunities; prepare teaming angles for vehicles. Capture Infrastructure — Install pursuit filters, debrief templates, and weekly cadence reviews in CRM. Quick Wins — Target 1–3 near-term opportunities that can convert inside 90 days. Outcomes by Day 90
By the end of Accelerate90, leadership has both tangible results and a system to carry forward:
A live, prioritized pipeline under pursuit. Multiple new buyer relationships documented and active. 1–3 early awards or near-term pursuits shaped. A documented cadence — CRM dashboards, pursuit gates, and weekly reviews. Confidence that the roadmap is not theory, but execution in motion. Why Graviton
Accelerate90 is informed by first-hand accelerator experience.
Advisory Roles — Theodore Stearns sits on the board and advises leading accelerators, including Plug and Play (Silicon Valley, the world’s largest), InsurTech New York, and the Global Insurance Accelerator. Founder Advisory — He has guided hundreds of startup founders and teams through these high-intensity programs. Investor Experience — As an active investor with Keiretsu Forum, Band of Angels, Tech Coast Angels, NuFund, and BaseCamps, he has seen how compressed execution creates durable momentum. This expertise shapes Accelerate90: a short, disciplined program that applies accelerator DNA to government contracting — ensuring the roadmap is launched quickly, with structure and proof points.
Timing:
Accelerate90 is:
Not long-term consulting — engagement is fixed at 90 days. Not outsourcing BD forever — the goal is to install systems, not create dependency. Not theory — it is execution, with measurable outcomes. In 90 days, the roadmap becomes reality.
Momentum, proof points, and confidence — installed on schedule.
