Our 7 startups here at the Govtech Fund (@GovtechFund) have an average sales cycle of 86 days to 12K gov't agencies this past year.

Ron, do you invest in companies outside U.S.? I founded a govtech company in Brazil, we have over 100 gov clients and we would love to talk to you!

[RonnieB]

I wish we could! Unfortunately Govtech Fund I is focused exclusively on US-based startups. This is purely a function of scale today -- as a $23M Seed/Series A fund, we just can't spread ourselves too thinly. But there WILL be a Govtech Fund II, III, IV, etc. down the road and I'd love for Brazil will be top of the list!

In any case, if you find yourself in the Bay Area, please drop us a line -- happy to grab coffee. In the interim, if we can ever be helpful, don't hesitate to ping! @GovtechFund on Twitter always a good way to reach us.

Great! Thanks for the response :)

We go to NY and Bay Area every 4-5 months to stay in touch with investors and potential partners.

I just ping you guys at Twitter so we meet for coffee next time. Cheers ;)

Great!
