About

Founded in 2001 by Rob Hartwell, following 13 years on Capitol Hill and 8 successful years with leading trade associations, Hartwell Capitol Consulting (HCC) has grown from a small consulting group into a global powerhouse. Beginning with four clients and operating out of the offices of the American Business Development Group, HCC has since expanded beyond traditional lobbying. We now specialize in identifying emerging technologies, securing financing, and driving business development and marketing strategies. Our team has grown to include experts in security, healthcare, finance, transportation, energy, environment, and education.

Today, HCC boasts a network of 101 consultants across every continent, including three former Members of Congress, three Admirals, 27 Veterans, two former National Security Council staff members, and a host of petroleum, nuclear, process, and civil engineers. Our team also features two former Assistant Secretaries and over ten Ph.D. holders, led by our Chief Scientist, who formerly served as the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Laboratories and Science and led Science and Technology at DHS while overseeing Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Our track record speaks for itself: since our founding, we’ve secured over $22.5 billion in funding and tax provisions for our clients and have raised millions of dollars for charities and political campaigns.

For clients in technology and business development, we offer comprehensive services, including technology and patent analysis, valuation, and strategic planning to drive revenue and success. With our consultants, public relations and media production partners, and IP evaluation experts, we are a full-service consulting firm equipped to handle all aspects of your government and public relations needs.

Partner with Hartwell Capitol Consulting, and let us deliver results for you.
