CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds are hard to assess because BVG is not currently accepting unsolicited pitches.
The firm has a small listed partner team and a visible but limited portfolio, suggesting selective, relationship-driven deal flow rather than an open application process.
WHAT IT TAKES
Check SSBCI Intake Form on their site, which appears to be the current active entry point — 15–30 minutes
Build a connection via their network, events, or Federal Mashup Lab programs before pitching — Ongoing
Prepare a seed-stage pitch deck showing tech focus and traction — 1–2 weeks
WORTH KNOWING
BVG runs Federal Mashup Lab events connecting startups with VC, industry, and government — attending these may be the most direct way to get in front of their partners given unsolicited pitches are closed.
