The Company

Our client is an AI-first SaaS company transforming the $750B+ government contracting industry. Their platform combines pre-RFP intelligence, capture management, proposal automation, and AI-powered knowledge workflows to help private sector innovators win U.S. government contracts faster — a market critical to national security and economic growth.

With one of the largest government data aggregation engines in the industry and deep AI/LLM integration, the platform enables clients — from small businesses to Fortune 500s — to pursue more opportunities and produce fully compliant, winning proposals in hours rather than months.

Founded by serial entrepreneurs with experience at Amazon, Palantir, Stanford, and in top-tier government roles, the company recently raised a $5.5M Seed round from Tier-1 VCs, has grown 8x in revenue in the past 6 months, and already counts a leading MBB consulting firm as a customer.
