"Katie is a master at drawing out past performance you may have missed and identifying an appropriate path forward for your business. The Mild Red way has transformed how we see and market our services and directly improved how we perform and develop opportunities!"

"Dynamis engaged Katie Helwig at Mild Red LLC to assist us after securing multiple OASIS+ contract awards. It was a wise move and one we recommend to other new awardees. Katie’s expertise has been invaluable, sharing key insights on a range of essentials, including contract compliance, teaming arrangements, and marketing strategies. What truly set her apart was her ability to flatten our learning curve. With years of invaluable experience, she provided critical insights that helped us understand the nuances of OASIS+ as well as actionable steps that enabled us to hit the ground running. Especially useful was her guidance in engaging with the OASIS+ Interact Community, which has already proven effective in connecting us with like-minded industry partners. Dynamis is proud to publicly thank Katie for her passion and sense of purpose, values that are core to our company. Thanks to her, we are confident and well-prepared as we begin our OASIS+ journey."

"Katie Helwig has been incredibly helpful in supporting Colvin Run’s growth since we engaged with Mild Red two years ago. She worked with me, and my growing team, to leverage our SBIR past performance into positioning for larger, more traditional Government contracts, while more than quadrupling our headcount since we started working together. Katie’s network is incredible, and often times I mention that we’re working with her for instant credibility in many GovCon circles. Her services are highly recommended for anyone looking to take their past performance to a bigger, brighter future for their company."

"Katie excels at aligning teaming partners by bridging capability gaps and strategically bringing together teams with strong synergy. She’s also provided a fresh perspective, helping us view our past performance through a broader lens, thus making it relevant to a wider range of opportunities."
