[staunch]

Many companies made processing credit cards easier. And then Stripe came along and made processing credit cards easy. This "phase transition" was what made Stripe so wildly successful.

My guess is that you might be moderately successful as a business if you can make it "easier to sell the the U.S. government" but what the market would reward in a huge way is a service that makes it easy to sell to the U.S. government.

My guess is that very few startups would find your current solution easy, with a still-confusing explanation of how the system works, the high price point, and "ask us" pricing model, etc. The bar for "easy" is quite high.

I really do hope someone solves this problem for the good of the country and for the sake of more good startups. Good luck.
