Who We Are
theEDGE is built by industry users for industry users
Darren and Kelsey Shank created theEDGE because they have a passion for helping businesses that work in the Department of Energy (DOE) industry be successful. It is their goal to provide a cutting-edge, real-time, software platform that provides greater access to information for companies that navigate this industry.
Our team is built around a group of DOE insiders that have worked for large and small businesses. We have chased Tier 1 (prime contracting) opportunities and Tier 2 (subcontracting) opportunities successfully in EM, NNSA, Energy, and Science; from Hanford to Savannah River and all the places in between. We know the people, the Complex, the lingo, the companies, and the partners. Our contributors have won over $70B in DOE contracts over the past 20 years.
Let us help you in your next pursuit.
