What We Do

The Dogpatch Process

Dogpatch operates as architect and general contractor for each of our clients, leveraging our extensive business and political experience and our national network of professionals.  You never need to make a long-term commitment; you never pay for what you do not want. 

It All Starts with a Roadmap

Support for clean energy is diverse and exists at every level of government in most places around the country. There’s much to be gained from the public sector, but it’s hard to navigate – so initially,  we work with you to define exactly what you want from the public sector, from federal, state and local grants and loan guarantees to building partnerships and relationships with key players. We meet with you to learn your business, and then search for opportunities in the public sector that will help you expand. Using the results, we design a Roadmap that shows you your specific pathways for success.

If that strategic plan is all you need, then our work together will be complete.  But if you also want help executing it, then we will bring together the best policy experts, grant writers, communications professionals, and, yes, even lobbyists. Our tailored flexibility also applies to compensation: one-time or recurring fees, with or without equity or incentive payments.  Dogpatch Strategies will deliver, while measuring results at every step.

The Dogpatch Advantages

We’re Locals with a National Reach

We aren’t just business development or government professionals; we have started successful companies. Our offices aren’t thousands of miles away -- we are primarily based in San Francisco & Silicon Valley so we can meet with you in person at any time. However, our partnerships and knowledge of Washington will give you the same expertise you would get with a DC-only operation.

State & Local Plus National

We have worked on the ground in nearly half the states over the last two decades and can, therefore, provide more personal knowledge and open more doors than those with only a Washington or Bay Area footprint.

One Stop Shop

With Dogpatch, there’s no need to hire several different groups, expensive out-of-town lobbyists, or even in-house staff for your needs. We have a network and subcontracting capacity that far exceeds what you find in the typical marketing & lobbying world.
