About
At Long Capture, we often compare the federal journey to a train trekking up a hill.
The first step in this process is to gain traction, often through an entry point such as the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, to begin the journey. After that, in order to make it up the hill, it is essential to continue shoveling coals into the train’s bunker in order to gain and keep momentum. And finally, when you reach the top of the hill, is where you Scale turning the Department of Defense into a regular revenue channel for your technology.
Long Capture's goal is to meet you wherever you are in this process. We leverage our extensive expertise in federal contracting to design and execute an effective strategy that incorporates a variety of funding opportunities through the Department of Defense to help you turn the military into an annual recurring revenue stream.
Traction
Are you looking to get your foot in the door of federal funding?
The traction phase is all about finding those entry points and establishing sole-source authority to enable more open dialogue and open the door to multiple research and development funding pathways with the DoD.
Momentum
Have you won federal contracts, identified your DoD champions/sponsors, and started understanding your potential transition partners?
The focus of the momentum Phase is to build on past federal wins and pursue higher research and development dollar awards to help you surpass the “valley of death.”
Scale
Are you ready to be an established program of record with the Department of Defense?
The goal is to be a formally approved funded acquisition program selling enterprise wide and integrating into programs of record. We look to design a process that is repeatable, scalable, and profitable down different avenues.

I can easily summarize our companies experience with Long Capture as nothing short of exceptional and an investment that has returned dividends. Russ’s team has provided deliberate, professional, and engaged leadership & mentorship during every interaction to materialize not only an effective SBIR/STTR proposal strategy, but also bolstered our product development commercialization strategy in alignment with UFA’s larger company goals, and empowered the onboarding of multiple contracts with individuals customers outside of SBIR specific development. They set the bar high and challenge us to continuously improve in a true team-based, results oriented battle rhythm that has resulted in a refreshing track record of success for our small business.
