Government Relations & BusDev Consultancy
Creating solutions for government and entrepreneurs since 2003
Cian Sanga advises clients on the ins and outs of both the Executive and Legislative branches of the U.S. government. Our firm specializes in government relations, business development, and sales for businesses wishing to engage the U.S. federal government, particularly within the national security community.
Whether you’re a seed stage, growth stage, or mature business, the first steps of federal engagements are equally Byzantine. We not only provide guidance and mentorship, but we’ll also help you thrive in this ecosystem with networking and tactical tools you can use.
Cian Sanga brings extensive experience not only from federal service, spanning Capitol Hill, the White House, Defense Department, and Intelligence Community, but with dual-use defense technology companies as well.
Areas of Practice
Federal Sales Strategy & Tactics
For many businesses desiring to enter the federal marketplace, it is a foreign and hostile land. The landscape is complex and not well mapped. The indigenous peoples speak dialects riddled with colloquialisms and acronyms. Local customs are equally foreign with arcane rules on security, gift giving, and travel different from anywhere else. Cian Sanga can help you navigate safe passage and teach you how to engage productively and successfully.
SBIR/STTR is one of the most useful programs to both the government and small businesses. For those wishing to break into government, SBIR offers multiple benefits, providing not only funding and contract vehicle, but IP protections and other features to assist with commercialization. But, SBIR isn’t without its pitfalls. We can help get you started down the right path.

Government Relations
Navigating Capitol Hill can be perilous. Bicameral chambers; majority and minority staffs; professional offices and personal offices; COS, LD, LAs, LCs, and other titles that mean little outside of Washington, DC…we can help plot an engagement strategy with critical oversight and appropriations committees as well as teach you how to interact productively with members and staffs.
“That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.”
