What you’re missing with Starbridge.
What Starbridge does well. Starbridge reads board meetings, budgets and contract expirations across local government and education, enriches contacts, and can put you on contracts buyers already purchase from.
No price until you're scoped
Starbridge doesn't have fixed tiers. Its own blog says quotes are custom-scoped to each team's market and needs, so the number comes after the sales conversation.2
Federal is the lighter end
Starbridge says so itself: it's built for state and local government, K-12 and higher education, and teams whose pipeline is mostly federal will find less depth. Capveon covers federal, state and local agencies in one search on every plan.3
A proposal writer that's lightweight by design
Starbridge describes its AI proposal writer as lightweight by design, an accelerator that won't replace a proposal hire on complex solicitations. Capveon turns each RFP into a checklist and fills in every item it can from your past responses.3
Built for selling software and services
Starbridge says companies selling technology or services get the most from it. If you sell equipment or build things, the bid turns on specs, drawings, bonds and Buy America, and Capveon reads those for you.3
What Capveon does differently.
The work Starbridge leaves to your team, done for you, on the screens you’d use.
Every RFP checked against your list.
Choose the columns that decide a bid for you: scope fit, security requirements, insurance, set-asides, due date. Capveon reads every RFP and its attachments and fills them in, with the page behind each answer.
Fill in what's new.
Each RFP you go after becomes a checklist you click through. Capveon fills in every item it can from your templates and past responses: company details, insurance, references, security answers and pricing. You accept what's right and answer what's new, and the next RFP already has it.
Federal, state and local in one search.
Describe your product in a sentence. Capveon checks federal agencies, states, cities, counties, school districts and transit authorities, including the ones that only post on their own portal, and brings back the RFPs that fit, with the reason each one fits.
