Trump’s DOGE has Washington and Wall Street on edge. In this commentary published today in Evercore’s “State of the Market”, CMP co-founders Brooke Coburn and Adam Palmer make the case that because of Washington’s “dense regulations, inscrutable bureaucratic layers, [and] byzantine procurement processes”, there is a “tremendous and underappreciated market opportunity accessible to subject matter experts” such as CMP. They conclude: CMP “believes that within the larger government opportunity set, the national security sub-sector offers particularly compelling opportunities.”? Thank you to our friends at Evercore for the opportunity to share our thoughts.

This Washington Business Journal article looks at CMP‘s investment activity in the government contracting space.
