The Opportunity

Problem

Remote govtech workers face severe lag on clunky government cloud platforms during peak hours, making real-time collaboration impossible for distributed teams.

Solution

FedRelay creates peer-to-peer tunnels that route collab data directly between users, bypassing slow central gov clouds during peaks. It falls back to cloud sync only when needed, with end-to-end encryption for compliance. Ideal for distributed govtech teams needing reliable task boards and file shares.

Target Audience

Remote workers in government technology (govtech) firms on distributed teams

Differentiator

P2P-first architecture eliminates single points of failure in gov infra.
