"Meagan Metzger observed that the government was spending time and money building technology that already existed in the commercial market, often resulting in slower and more expensive solutions."
"Metzger founded Dcode to help startups break into the federal market, but she soon realized that the larger issue was the system itself, not the companies."
"Dcode works with government leaders to help them become better customers of technology, pushing them to think in terms of portfolios rather than individual programs."
"Under Metzger's guidance, Dcode achieved rapid results, including driving an OTA-based procurement from zero to live in under 30 days and launching a secure tech marketplace proof of concept in just 24 hours."
Meagan Metzger identified a recurring issue where the government developed software that could be purchased commercially, resulting in inefficiencies. She founded Dcode to assist startups in entering the federal market but recognized that the systemic issues were more significant than the companies themselves. Dcode now collaborates with government leaders to enhance their technology acquisition strategies. Metzger emphasizes a portfolio approach to decision-making, encouraging leaders to act quickly and effectively in procurement processes, achieving rapid results in technology implementation.
