The Crisis
Small contractors are disappearing at an alarming rate
In 2010, over 104,000 small businesses won federal contracts. By 2022, just 58,681 remained. Every year, 17,000 companies leave the Defense Industrial Base. Compliance costs, payment delays, and regulatory complexity are driving an extinction event.

The $530M Blind Spot
Everyone helps you win. Nobody helps you survive.
Over $530 million has flowed into AI tools that help contractors write proposals. Zero dollars have gone into helping them survive after they win. We're building the guidance platform nobody else is addressing.
