In today's market, founders need more than a strong product—they need a political strategy.
About this Event

This workshop explores how understanding government policy, procurement processes, and legislative priorities can give founders a competitive edge. We'll go beyond civics and into strategy, covering:


  • How to use political intelligence to strengthen your go-to-market (GTM) approach
  • Ways to engage legislators not just as advocates but as allies in your growth
  • What equitable procurement in Maryland means—and how to position your company for it
  • Key legislation passed this session and how it affects your businesses
  • Insights from BFT's "MBE Day" in Annapolis and how those conversations are shaping statewide priorities


Whether you're seeking contracts, capital, or policy alignment, this session will help you treat politics like a lever—not a barrier—in scaling your company.
