01 / THE QUICK RUNDOWN

What this Play looks like in real life

Watch government contract websites for one type of business, remove the irrelevant listings, and send subscribers a simple alert with the best matches.

WHERE THE OPPORTUNITY STARTS

Official government bidding websites and agency notices

WHO YOU SERVE OR SELL TO

Small vendors that lack monitoring time

THE GAP YOU GET PAID TO CLOSE

Government contract notices are free but scattered and difficult to search. Businesses pay to receive only the listings that fit them.

THE INSIDE SCOOP

The government notice is free. What subscribers buy is the morning they did not spend opening forty portals only to learn that thirty-nine bids were the wrong trade, county, or certification.

THE MONEY-MAKING GAP

Why somebody pays you

Government contract notices are free but scattered and difficult to search. Businesses pay to receive only the listings that fit them.
