In this episode, David Blackburn speaks with Brittany Chiang, CEO of Flatter Inc., a fast-growing federal contractor deeply committed to innovation and national security. Brittany shares how Flatter is leveraging AI and automation across its enterprise, training over 20 custom GPTs to enhance capture and proposal development, enabling less experienced team members to contribute meaningfully to data calls and opportunity analysis.
With a unique edge as a CEO who codes, Brittany explains how Flatter’s technical capabilities allow them to bid faster and more frequently, even extending support to their mentor-protégé partners by provisioning internal tools to help them succeed on smaller contracts. The company is actively piloting AI tools in federal training environments and is fully committed to remaining in the federal market despite prior exploration of commercial applications.
She also highlights the opportunity for small businesses to thrive through speed, innovation, and responsiveness, especially given the lack of unsolicited proposals seen by agencies. Flatter Inc. sees this evolving environment as a moment of transformation, not hesitation, and Brittany offers a compelling, optimistic perspective on what’s next for government contracting.
