What We Build
Six phases. Built in this order, handed over running.
1
We build AI-native back offices: an operations dashboard, agents running the daily work, lean staffing, DCAA-ready books.
2
Target agencies, capture strategy, registrations (SAM.gov, CAGE, GSA Schedule) and pricing, the compliance gates startups hit late.
3
Requirements mapping, authorization path (Authority to Operate, FedRAMP, IL levels), and a first pilot designed to become a program of record.
4
Primes and integrators, signed teaming agreements, contract vehicles and set-asides.
5
Capture and BD leads, cleared personnel, contracts back office, interim leadership until your hire lands.
6
Turning one contract into a market: program offices and the people who write requirements, the budget and policy lines that fund you, industry coalitions, and allied governments abroad.
Take all six, or the one or two pieces you are missing. Any set is scoped and priced as a single engagement.
How We Deliver
Phase 1
Inquire and Align
A confidential first conversation to understand the objective and the stakes.
Phase 2
Scope and Plan
We turn the objective into a concrete plan, timeline, and success measures.
Phase 3
Build and Execute
We do the work alongside your team — building, selling, standing up operations.
Phase 4
Operate and Sustain
We keep it running — and hand it off cleanly when the time is right.
Clients
From pre-seed startups selling into government for the first time to established scale-ups deepening an existing public-sector footprint. We help them reach the right buyers, build the capability to win, and stand up the compliance, contracting, and operations that government work demands — at home and abroad.
Venture and private-equity firms, and the boards of their portfolio companies, who need a clear-eyed read on government-facing opportunity and risk — from diligence on a target’s public-sector revenue and exposure to shaping a portfolio company’s federal and allied-market strategy.
Companies and multinationals moving into allied, emerging, and contested markets who need trusted local partners, honest country-risk assessment, and operations that keep running when conditions change — from Five Eyes capitals to frontier environments.
Principals and family offices whose capital, ventures, and interests intersect government — public-sector-facing investments, regulated industries, and cross-border holdings. We bring the same discretion, due diligence, and on-the-ground judgment we apply for governments to protect and advance private interests in complex, high-stakes markets.
Leadership
Acuity Global Partners is led by Brad Belzak, a senior executive with 24 years across government, defense, technology, consulting, finance, and global risk — supported by vetted specialists in law, tax, security, investigations, and local-market advisory.
He spent a decade at Deloitte and EY advising across 45 countries, much of it with early-stage technology companies: shaping products for government buyers, building the go-to-market plan, and standing up the operations behind a first contract, alongside crisis and risk work from the 2011 Thai floods to post-conflict Libya. In government he began at the Department of Homeland Security in its earliest days, served the Senate Homeland Security Committee, directed homeland defense integration at the Pentagon, and was second-in-command of the Export-Import Bank. He helped build the public sector division at Strider Technologies, serves as a Commissioner on the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission, and is a Certified Fraud Examiner.

Primes, integrators, and resellers that carry emerging technology onto contract vehicles.
Contracting, certifications, and compliance program design under U.S. oversight regimes.

Sourcing the operators who run and grow federal businesses.
Investigative screening of partners, investments, and key hires.
In the News
Founder Brad Belzak on the collapse of the consulting pyramid: frontier models absorbed the work generalists used to do, and the premium now sits with people who can take messy data, structure it, and turn it into an answer. On the multi-year transformation: “If your roadmap takes three years, the tools you scoped in month one are obsolete by month 18.”
