GovSignals is a New York-based govtech startup founded in 2023 by serial entrepreneurs including CEO Derek Hoyt, a former DIA intelligence officer and Palantir veteran. The platform is built to automate the full process of finding and bidding on government contracts, generating proposals that are fully compliant with RFP requirements in a fraction of the time a research team would take. The company doubled its customer base each quarter through 2024 and counts a global top-three consulting firm among its clients. In December 2024 GovSignals raised a $5.5M seed round led by Unusual Ventures.
