Episode Description

Government contracting moves $750B+ a year.

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

What’s happening on the second front

• 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
