About GovConHacks
GovConHacks is more than an educational brand. It’s your gateway to smarter government contracting.
Founded by Duwel Dev, GovConHacks translates how government buyers think, evaluate, and award work into practical guidance you can apply immediately: no fluff, no outdated advice.
Since 2020, GovConHacks has helped guide businesses toward more than $2.5 billion in government contracts and subcontracts across federal and SLED markets, using the same strategies Duwel Dev applies with its consulting clients.
When you’re ready for hands-on support, Duwel Dev provides the capture and proposal work behind it. GovConHacks teaches you how it works; Duwel Dev helps you execute it.
Ashley Duwel, CEO
I started GovConHacks because too many small businesses were learning government contracting the hard way: through expensive mistakes, missed deadlines, and advice that didn’t hold up in practice.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked alongside businesses from their very first federal or state registration through their first (and then their tenth) contract award. I’ve helped guide more than a thousand businesses toward over $2.5 billion in government contracts and subcontracts across federal and SLED markets, and I built GovConHacks to share what actually works, not just what sounds good in a webinar.
Through Duwel Dev, my team and I also work directly with businesses that want hands-on capture and proposal support. But whether you’re here to learn or here to hire us, the goal is the same: fewer dropped balls, clearer systems, and contracts you can actually deliver on.
THE GOVCONHACKS MISSION
GovConHacks’ mission is to help businesses navigate government contracting with clarity, confidence, and systems that actually work.
We exist to cut through misinformation and outdated advice by translating how government buyers think, evaluate, and award work into practical guidance businesses can apply immediately. GovConHacks focuses on helping companies make better decisions earlier—about what to pursue, how to prepare, and how to build operations that can scale in the public sector.
Our mission is grounded in realism over hype, execution over theory, and long-term sustainability over quick wins. By combining education with real-world context, we prepare businesses to not only win contracts, but to manage them effectively and grow responsibly within federal and SLED markets.
