Founding partner program
The founding partner program is for commercial subcontractors with meaningful inbound bid volume, a genuine estimator-capacity problem, and a willingness to help shape the workflow while the product is still close to the people building it.
This is not an early-adopter badge. It is a hands-on commercial implementation.
If the inbound volume is small enough that one person can comfortably read everything today, BidTriage may not solve an urgent problem for your shop yet. We would rather say that now than six months in.
What we commit to
You should know exactly what you are committing to, and exactly what we are committing to in return. Here is our side of it.
Hands-on onboarding
Direct access to the people building the product during your first 30 days, while BidTriage runs alongside your current process.
Straight talk when something fails
You hear it from us when the product is wrong, slow, noisy, or missing something you need.
Active signal refinement
Your criteria get tuned as your team works the queue, written down in your words rather than set once and left alone.
Clear terms, clear data handling
Commercial terms in writing, and support around the connected sources. Read-only by design: your connected sources are never modified.
Why the program is limited
Onboarding is hands-on and the work is collaborative. Doing that well takes real hours with your estimators, which puts a hard ceiling on how many shops can be in the program at one time.
Every founding implementation involves real time with your estimating team: their criteria, their sources, their edge cases. There is no self-serve path that produces a queue your estimators actually trust.
We would rather solve one workflow deeply and get it right than collect names we cannot support properly. Solve one shop's problem completely, then scale what works.
No countdown, no invented scarcity. The cohort is capped by how many implementations can be run well at once, and it stays capped for exactly as long as that is true.
After the first year
If BidTriage is doing its job, year two is a renewal, not a renegotiation. Before you sign anything, the commercial agreement spells out:
Founding-year pricing
Renewal structure
Hosting and support
Data handling
Cancellation terms
Your data if we part ways
No surprises should appear in month twelve.
The story, once it is earned
We may eventually ask founding partners to help tell the BidTriage story. Not before there is a real story to tell.
If your shop sees a few hundred invitations a month and intake is eating senior estimator time, we should talk.
Founding partner application
This goes straight to the founder, not a sales team. If you can describe your bid flow in three sentences, that is enough to start. We answer fast, usually within one business day.
