AI That Finds Federal Contracts You’re Likely to Win—Without Manual RFP Reading

Tiered subscription SaaS targeting small federal contractors. Three planned tiers: Scout ($49/mo), Pro ($99/mo), Team ($199/mo). Stripe billing integrated with 14-day free trial, no credit card required. Secondary revenue path: referral commissions from freelance proposal writers (15-20% referral cut on $2-5K proposal engagements).

This product has a working foundation but needs a distribution-focused operator. Three clear growth levers: Sales and partnerships — Colorado APEX Accelerator counselors work with hundreds of target buyers (small 8(a)/SDVOSB contractors) and will demo tools to clients. Partnership outreach was planned but not executed. One good counselor relationship = 5-10 subscribers. Also direct outbound to SAM.gov-registered small businesses in covered NAICS codes. SEO — 11 blog posts are written and deployed targeting ~19K/month in search volume around gov contracting keywords. Currently only 3 of 17 pages are indexed due to technical issues (robots.txt block, soft 404, HTTP→HTTPS redirects). A technical SEO fix plus manual indexing submission could unlock the existing content investment. Content marketing — Anonymized SOW analysis examples posted to LinkedIn and gov contracting communities (SBA groups, APMP, r/govcontracting) demonstrate the core value prop. Content strategy is outlined in the included marketing assets. Secondary upside: referral network with freelance proposal writers (15-20% referral commission on $2-5K proposal engagements) can 2-3x subscription revenue at scale.

Running multiple projects in parallel as a staff software engineer with limited side-project hours. GovLens needs focused distribution work (sales partnerships, SEO execution, content marketing) to reach PMF, and I'm concentrating my remaining side-project time on other ventures better matched to my strengths. The product is built and deployed — looking for an operator who can execute the go-to-market that I'm not positioned to run.
