What Aptos is

A technology enabled strategy firm for the federal market, and the investors behind it.

Aptos is not a government contractor. We are the strategy partner GovCon operators, private equity firms, and portfolio company CEOs bring in when market intelligence, capture decisions, talent gaps, and enterprise value priorities need to move as one connected system, instrumented with AI assisted workflows and industry-leading intelligence tools.

Independent and aligned with you

100% conflict-free advisory. As a non-contracting firm, Aptos provides strategic support with zero Organizational Conflict of Interest. We work for the firm hiring us, and only that firm, on the pursuits, leaders, and outcomes that matter.

Operator first

Built from decades of mission-critical experience from the tactical edge to the executive suite. Aptos turns strategy into executable decisions, not static slideware.

Network over headcount

Modern automation, AI-assisted analysis, structured workflows, and a vetted partner bench let Aptos move faster without exposing the proprietary methods that make the work valuable.

Operating model

Three pillars feeding one outcome.

Intelligence informs Talent. Talent executes Capture. Capture builds into Enterprise Value. We work the system end to end so no pursuit, hire, or quarter gets stranded.

Pillar 01

Intelligence

Pillar 02

Talent

Pillar 03

Enterprise Value

Engagement

From first conversation to measurable outcome.

Engagements run on a five-step rhythm. Most start with a 30-day strategic intake; the rest depends on what the diagnostic surfaces.

Strategic intake, document review, and focused market landscape read.

Anonymized case studies

Realistic operating moments Aptos is built to solve.

Representative and anonymized scenarios. They illustrate the kind of work Aptos performs without disclosing client-sensitive details.

01

Mid-market GovCon pursuit reset

Problem: A qualified pipeline existed, but bid/no-bid decisions were subjective and capture actions were not tied to customer evidence.

  • Built a scored opportunity-readiness model
  • Mapped incumbent and teaming gaps
  • Created a capture action plan with owner cadence

Result: Leadership moved from scattered opportunity debate to a governed pursuit path with clear next actions.

02

Portfolio company growth thesis

Problem: The board needed a credible way to connect market positioning, leadership depth, and exit-readiness work.

  • Assessed pipeline quality and revenue concentration
  • Identified executive bench gaps
  • Translated gaps into a value-creation roadmap

Result: Management gained a board-ready operating narrative tied to growth, EBITDA discipline, and buyer confidence.

03

Executive talent gap closure

Problem: A growth-leader gap was slowing capture discipline and forcing the CEO into day-to-day pursuit management.

  • Defined permanent versus fractional role needs
  • Prioritized capture and proposal bench support
  • Built a phased hiring and transition plan

Result: The client had a practical coverage model that protected near-term pursuits while reducing key-person dependency.

Common questions

How firms typically engage Aptos.

  • Is Aptos a government contractor?

    No. Aptos Strategy Group is a strategic advisory firm. We advise and support government contracting companies. We do not bid on, prime, or subcontract federal work ourselves.

  • What size of firm do you work with?

    Most engagements are with founder- or CEO-led firms between roughly $5M and $250M in revenue, where the next pursuit, the next hire, and the next exit move are all in play at the same time.

  • Do you guarantee wins or specific multiples?

    No. Aptos provides advisory and execution support. Outcomes depend on customer, competitor, and market conditions. We are direct about probability, leverage, and risk, and we do not promise what the market will not deliver.

  • Do you provide legal, tax, or audit opinions?

    No. Aptos coordinates with, and complements, your legal, tax, and audit advisors. We do not render those opinions ourselves.

  • How are engagements typically structured?

    Most start with a 30-day strategic intake, then move into a defined SOW with clear milestones, capture support, embedded fractional leadership, M&A readiness work, or a blend.
