Frustration builds up when things go wrong in the world of government acquisition and that feeling is true on both sides: the customer and contractor alike.Adam Rentschler and his partners started Valid Eval in 2011 to help agencies make better evaluations at scale. All throughout this episode, the latter two words of that sentence come up frequently in the conversation between Rentschler and our Ross Wilkers.Rentschler’s vision is for the acquisition ecosystem to have more humanity in it and the use of data to help lead that effort.Those concepts may seem contradictory on the surface, but Rentschler brings them together throughout the discussion.
