Stereotypical Silicon Valley startups are built for fast, reckless growth which cannot and will not happen with a government contract.

FWIW, there are plenty of us here who aren't in Silicon Valley and who aren't interested in building a "stereotypical silicon valley startup that is built for fast, reckless growth".

I don't disagree with your point, just wanted to point out that the audience here is broader than just SV people.
