AI for government contracting

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Sweetspot as an all-in-one platform that helps companies find, manage, and respond to government contracting opportunities. Our AI scours opportunities, organizes contacts and deadlines, and streamlines proposal processes so our users can focus on winning bids.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We all live in New York City now, and after YC we plan to keep the company based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in New York because it's a central hub for businesses working on government contracts and allows us to be close to a large number of our early users and partners.
