Choose the right path.

Path 01 · Recommended for procurement, primes, NATO buyers

Schedule a partnership conversation.

A 30-minute structured discovery call with Ashley Brennan, Backer's operational executive — directly, not delegated. Kelso joins for governance, strategic, or partnership-structure conversations. Designed for prime contractors, federal program managers, sustainment leads, ITB credit teams, NATO-allied buyers, and innovation funding organizations.

  • Principal-led, not delegated to junior business development
  • Honest fit assessment — including referral elsewhere if Backer isn't the right coordinator
  • NDA available before call if your requirement is sensitive
  • Partner introductions arranged under confidentiality where qualification posture is contract-relevant
