How to Win Federal Contracts While Washington Loses Its Mind

A 7-week playbook for women-owned businesses navigating the DEI rollback.

Last year, 8x more money went to women-owned startups from the federal government than from venture capital. That's the difference between $3.5 billion vs. $26.64 billion.

The federal government has spent decades building programs designed to send contracts to women-owned businesses. But in 2026, many of these programs are getting quietly dismantled — agency by agency, rule by rule, executive order by executive order.

But here's what hasn't changed: women-owned small businesses (WOSB) is written into law. It can't be undone by executive order. Up to $26.64 billion in set-asides are still being awarded.

You can panic about it. Or you can have a plan.

This is the plan.
