The Problem

Creative and consulting agencies spend 10-20 hours crafting each client proposal, pulling from scattered case studies, pricing templates, and team bios. Win rates hover around 25%, and junior staff produce inconsistent quality.

The Solution

An AI platform that ingests an agency's past proposals, case studies, and brand guidelines to generate tailored proposals in minutes. Learns from won vs. lost bids to optimize language, pricing, and structure over time.

Executive Summary

Agencies spend 10-20 hours per proposal and win only 20-30% of bids. AI can cut creation time by 78% and boost win rates by 31%. However, PandaDoc ($1B valuation, $100M ARR) and Proposify dominate the space. The real opportunity is in vertical-specific proposal AI for agencies, not generic document tools.
