This isn't a pitch. It's why this company exists — and why I think it matters.
Every year, public bodies across Europe award more than €2 trillion in contracts. By law, it's all published — open to any firm that wants to compete. In practice, it isn't. The opportunities are scattered across dozens of national portals, in different languages and formats, buried in 90-page PDFs. Finding the right ones is a full-time job, and writing a single bid can take 20 to 40 hours by hand.
The result is a quiet unfairness: the firms that win public contracts aren't always the ones that would do the best work — they're the ones with the staff and the hours to hunt and to bid. Capable small companies miss contracts they'd have won, simply because they never saw them in time. That's public money not reaching the best supplier, and a good business not getting a fair shot. Both are fixable.
The information is already public. The barrier isn't secrecy — it's friction. Modern AI can read every notice in every language the moment it's published, judge whether it genuinely fits a firm, and turn a blank page into a strong first draft in minutes. The technology to remove that friction finally exists. What's been missing is someone building it for the firms that need it most, rather than only for the ones who can already afford a full-time bid team.
Enterprise bidders have teams, software, and consultants. Small and mid-sized firms — the ones that build the roads, run the IT, design the buildings — are left with keyword alerts and spreadsheets. They have the expertise to win; they just don't have the machinery to compete for attention. They deserve tools as good as the big players have, priced for a real business, that they can switch on in minutes.
To make European public procurement genuinely accessible to any capable SME — in any country, across borders, from one place. We started in Switzerland because it's home and where we can help firms fastest, but we built for Europe from day one. Over time, the data we assemble on how public contracts are actually awarded becomes something no one else has: an honest map of the market that helps our customers bid smarter and win more. That's the company I want to build — and the reason I get up for it.
