Seeking capital partners for a cleared federal IT roll-up

I am looking to connect with capital partners to back a federal IT roll-up, and would love to expand the conversations we already have underway.
Background: We acquire and operate cleared federal IT and cybersecurity contractors supporting DoD and the broader defense community. We are currently searching for our first platform acquisition and source deals on a daily basis. I spent my prior career scaling a federal IT business as an executive to over $150M in revenue and I have an active Top Secret clearance. I have a strong team in place, along with a firm that handles our due diligence and quality of earnings, so we can move quickly and cleanly.
Where we are: We have six active deals in play. Two are platform-sized and too large for SBA, each doing roughly $1.5M in EBITDA and $10 to $15m in revenue, and we are pursuing both aggressively. A few others are smaller and would not stand on their own, but they are strong bolt-on candidates that expand contract vehicles and reduce customer concentration once a platform is in place. We have had strong calls with the sellers across these opportunities, and what we need now is the right capital to move efficiently.
Who I am hoping to meet: Family office co-sponsors comfortable above SBA size, and institutional partners looking for a repeatable relationship across a multi-deal roll-up, ideally with familiarity in the cleared GovCon space.
The clearance profile and prime contracts in place are the real moat here, and it is not a space most buyers can operate in. I have a confidential one-page overview of the combined platform that I am glad to share with interested capital partners. If any of this resonates, send me a message and I would be glad to discuss. Thank you!
