Mentor-Protégé Program Consulting

The SBA’s All Small Mentor-Protégé Program established in 2016 allows small businesses to partner with seasoned government contractors for the benefit of both firms.

Small businesses that participate as protégés are often able to take a quantum leap forward in terms of readiness to compete for and win government contracts. Larger firms that become mentors can gain an avenue for winning work otherwise reserved for small businesses. Partnership allows both firms to develop capabilities and institutional knowledge that will contribute to long-term success in the federal space.

8(a) Strategies provides a wide range of services to prospective mentors and protégés seeking to get the most out of participation in the All Small Mentor-Protégé Program.

We can leverage our relationships with government contractors and successful small businesses to help you find the right mentor or protégé based on your unique objectives. We can also guide you through the process of establishing the Joint Venture Agreement that governs the partnership, and work with you to identify and secure opportunities aligned with your business goals. We’ve shepherded companies through the entire Program lifecycle, and we’re ready to put our expertise to work for you.

If you’re a small business or experienced contractor interested in participating in the All Small Mentor-Protégé Program, we’ll help you get started. Give us a call at 202-854-1422 or email us at tommy@8astrategies.com.
