Prosal's mission goes beyond just winning bids; it aims to transform how agencies perceive and engage with RFPs, making them a cornerstone for growth and opportunity. The startup initially gained traction through targeted email outreach and a strong word-of-mouth reputation within consulting communities, quickly becoming a trusted name.

The major hurdle for Prosal was building trust in a market flooded with empty promises. By directly providing valuable RFP opportunities and standing by their clients throughout the process, Prosal established credibility and a robust user base.

With plans to refine their product-market fit and make RFPs accessible to a broader range of businesses, Prosal is poised for significant expansion, leveraging AI to manage extensive document loads efficiently. This approach underscores their commitment to innovation and tailored support in the RFP domain.

We help businesses find and win high-quality RFPs to scale their businesses.

When we first launched, our platform spread like wildfire among consulting communities through email outreach and word of mouth.

Trust. Too many people flood business owners' inboxes, promising leads and growth but never delivering. We tried something different: We gave them RFPs instead of promising leads. We also were tireless in meeting and talking to our users.

Today, we are their advocates in finding good RFPs and the necessary information to respond, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with them through the struggles of the RFP process that too many people are familiar with. .

Filter out the noise and BS. Too many people launch startups for the street cred, and too many uninformed investors will take the wind out of your sails. Learn to tune out the noise and listen to the harmony in the ecosystem.

We raised a Seed round of $1.6 million and I'm so thankful I was not the one doing it. Our CEO led the effort and I would not wish it on my worst enemy.
