// What we hear
Sound familiar?
“I don’t know what the government is even looking for.”
“I found out about it four days before it closed.”
“I don’t know if we’re allowed to bid.”
“I have no idea what I’m missing.”
None of that is about the technology. It’s about not being able to see what’s out there.
// The gap
You’re likely already building something the government needs.
You just wouldn’t recognize the posting.
What the company called it
“AI voice analysis for sales calls”
What the Navy called it
“Real-time speech processing in degraded audio environments”
Why Outrider matched them
Four capabilities both descriptions depend on, and not one shared keyword between them.
Same technology, written up two different ways. That’s a translation problem.
Outrider reads both sides.
// How it works
Three steps.
STEP 01
Tell us what you build.
About five minutes, in your own words. Product language is fine.
STEP 02
We translate it.
Into the language agencies actually write requirements in.
STEP 03
Matches come to you.
Agency, deadline, and why it matched — emailed the moment one lands.
// What arrives
The moment something fits,
you hear about it.
New grants, contracts, and SBIR topics post every week across dozens of agencies. We watch all of them, and email you as soon as one matches what you build.
Your matches
Example
- SBIR
Real-time acoustic signal processing
Navy · NAVWAR | Closes in 31 days
matched on speech processing · real-time inference
- CONTRACT
Voice transcription for training exercises
Army · TRADOC | Closes in 12 days
matched on ASR · multi-speaker audio
- BILL
AI-enabled communications modernization
House Armed Services | Introduced 6 days ago
matched on your NAICS · capability match
Every match comes with the reason it matched.
Bills come first. Money gets written into legislation months before anyone posts a solicitation.
// SBIR, explained
Ideas get funded. So do prototypes.
So do products already on the market.
An agency posts a problem, you propose how you’d solve it, and they pay for the work — at whatever stage you’re at. It’s called SBIR, it’s about $4 billion a year, and most companies have never heard of it.
No product needed
An idea can win one
You don’t need something built, and you don’t need a contract history.
Non-dilutive
You give up nothing
No equity, no board seat, no investor. It isn’t a funding round.
Up to $2M
Real development money
Enough to build the thing, not just write a report about it.
Ownership
You keep the IP
The rights to what you invent stay with your company, not the agency.
// The platform
What else you get.
