For your clients

What it does for the small businesses you advise

Set-aside matches, not firehoses

Matches federal set-asides — 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone — to each client's NAICS codes, certifications, and bond ceiling.

Drafts from their own material

Every opportunity comes with a first draft assembled from the contractor's own past proposals and contracts — their words, not a template library.

One email, ready to proof

The draft bundle is delivered in a single email for proofing, approval, and send-off. (Email delivery is a paid feature.)

Free to start

Clients can start today with live matched opportunities, saved searches, and community access — no card required. Proposal drafting starts on Pro.

For you

What it does for counselors

A free tier to point clients at

Clients start at $0 with live matched opportunities, saved searches, and community access. They upgrade to Pro when they need proposal bundles and email delivery — no pressure, no card required.

A two-minute demo tour

Walk a client through the whole product in the time it takes to explain it — no login, no install. The tour runs on demo data, clearly labeled as demo.

A community board for teaming

Clients can find teammates for set-asides that need teaming — the real govcon pattern (8(a) + HUBZone). Live now on the community board.

Peer to peer

Know another counselor who'd want this? Pass it along.

A recommendation from a fellow counselor carries more weight than anything we could say. Send the prefilled email — it comes from you, with your name on it — or copy the link into your own channel: Slack, a newsletter, a team meeting.

We don't track who you share this with — no referral codes, no follow-up nagging. No obligation either way.
