We acquire exceptional HHS companies & grow them forever
Diligent Gov Cap is your long-term strategic partner dedicated to buying and building beautiful HHS businesses and stewarding them with exceptional, values-driven leadership.
We Are Operators.
We acquire to amplify value.
HHS spends $1.7T* per year for citizen services and most of the tech runs on mainframes and point solutions. HHS urgently needs a tech refresh.
Diligent is the only HHS-focused Industry platform. We bring capital, AI tech, branding, and GTM expertise to acquired companies.
It was and will be your story and legacy. We treat you and your team as the stewards. We conserve and grow your legacy.

We accelerate tech
The best of partners with skin in the game.
Our network makes HHS deals your right to win.
We provide access
We know the govtech playbook. We know the KPIs and metrics that matter. We work with you to improve EBIDTA & create value.
We amplify value
We thought about all the stuff we hated when dealing with Pin Striped PE firms & Strategic buyers & worked backwards.
It turns out, they really do make it too complicated and there are tons of founders like us, who wanted a long-term home for their businesses.
Win - Win Partnership Model
Diligent GovCap is the only fund that perpetually invests in companies serving the government. We don’t buy to sell. We buy to grow. Ours is not a PE-style roll-up model.
GovCap is Founder-friendly
Exit to Private Equity Roll Up
Generalists
Do not understand HHS. May not value your business fairly.
Hands Off
You will be acquired for “synergies” and rolled into another company. Their strategy becomes yours.
Diligence Paralysis
Locks you in with LoIs and painfully slow diligence that derails you from your operational focus.
Complex Earnouts
Founders locked in with complex earn out structures. It’s a known fact that founders rarely see the earnouts.
Frankenstein Deal Terms
Complex deal terms that you won’t understand. Your future upside is linked to entities that you have no information rights or control over.
Your legacy ends the day you sell
Your team, culture, and your folklore end on the sale. You will be rolled up into a factory full of other roll ups.
There is an expiry date
All PE roll-ups are about financial outcomes. It’s usually three to five year

HHS is reason to exist
We understand your language and your offerings. We get you the best outcome.
Our work begins on Day 1
We modernize your offerings with our tech and GTM super-powers. We work to ensure the company grows and if you stay, you make bank with earnouts.
30-days. Monies Wired.
Remember. We hold for perpetuity. So we want the new version of your company to be ready soon. We accelerate to close.
No Handcuffs
We are founders first. We don’t believe in handcuffs. If you are willing to stay, we will make sure that the incentives work.
Simple, Clean Terms
Simple documentation, deal terms, & clean structure with cash upfront
We preserve and enrich your legacy
After the sale, the next day is business as usual. You do what you are good at. We amplify the good parts. We work with you to perfect the rest. Your teams will love it.
