Our Background

Our team has worked with the government from all angles - within government agencies, as contractors, and as customers. This gives us a clear vision for helping our customers achieve their government sourcing goals. Whether you’re looking for early stage funding to develop an innovative idea or to find customers within the government ecosystem for a commercially developed product, we’re a collaborative, seasoned partner who has been there.

Since our founding, Gallium Solutions has helped early stage and established businesses open the right doors to doing business with the government. In return, we’ve helped match government needs with innovative and thoughtful American businesses. Our sweet spot is providing the right synergy, at the right time, to the right connections.
