Help us land the first ten. We'll make you look good on every one.

Vertex Infrastructure Group is a Minnesota network-infrastructure company entering its launch phase. We are retaining one capture firm to place us as a subcontractor with primes, MSPs and integrators. This page is the brief: what we sell, why a prime says yes, how we scale, and how you get paid.

What the prime gets

Network changes delivered as a sub: upgrades with rehearsed rollback, configuration backup and drift control, compliance audits, standardization, firewall policy work.
Every job ships with a signed evidence bundle — plan, approval record, session transcripts, rollback record, audit ledger — the prime can hand straight to its customer or auditor.
Sub-rate pricing, scheduled windows, and an audit trail a body-shop contractor cannot produce.
Reference platforms validated in our lab; other platforms delivered through qualified engineers on the same method.

Why we can take everything you bring

There is no capacity ceiling in this phase. Delivery runs on an internal engine we are actively building and refining — it plans, gates and evidences the work — and on a bench of vetted 1099 network engineers who carry any scope the engine has not yet absorbed. Every task order, sub slot and pilot you secure is in scope; windows get scheduled, never declined for lack of hands.

What the first sale looks like

A small, low-risk task order on an existing vehicle or a pilot window — $15–50k, a batch upgrade, a readiness review, a compliance audit. One paid job becomes the past-performance citation for the next ten. You do not need to sell a bake-off; you need to place one sub slot with a prime that trusts you.

Day-one pack

Capability statement, signed sample evidence bundles, demo kit, quote pack with COI and W-9, SAM/UEI/CAGE, insurance certificates. Ready to hand over on signature.

How we pay

Two structures. Both are proposals subject to counsel review and owner signature; both are collected-revenue only, with no commission on recurring revenue after the first contract year.

Option A — retainer plus success fee (preferred)

Retainer $4–6k/month for six months.
15% of the first commercial or sub-to-prime land, 10% of each later land, on first-year contract value as collected.
12-month tail on introductions made during the term.
Day-30/60/90 deliverables in writing: named prime and SBLO contacts, meetings held, teaming slots confirmed, weekly activity report. Retainer refundable or credited if the day-60 deliverables are missed.

Option B — commission only

30% of the first land, 20% of each later land, same collected-revenue and no-recurring terms.
No retainer, no clawback.

Federal prime awards: where contingent-fee restrictions apply, capture work toward a federal prime award is compensated on a fixed or hourly basis. Success fees apply to commercial and sub-to-prime revenue only.

What we ask of you

Volume and honesty. Bring every slot you can, tell us early when a prime is not a fit, and put deliverables in writing. In return: uncapped commission, a product that is easy to explain, and a company that will out-deliver the incumbent on the first window.
