After hundreds of conversations with teams responsible for responding to RFPs, one thing became clear.

Winning large contracts is still powered by spreadsheets, copy-paste, and institutional memory.

Despite the size and importance of enterprise deals, most organizations still manage proposals across scattered documents, folders, and disconnected tools. Critical knowledge lives in past proposals, individual teammates’ heads, and last-minute scrambles before submission deadlines.

Over the past year, we’ve been building Settle alongside dozens of design partners to fix that.

Today, we’re opening Settle to the public.

The Problem with Modern RFPs

RFPs (Requests for Proposals) decide billions of dollars in enterprise contracts every year. Yet the process behind them remains surprisingly manual.

Teams spend hours:

  • Searching for past answers across old proposals

  • Rewriting responses that already exist somewhere

  • Coordinating feedback across email threads and spreadsheets

  • Chasing deadlines instead of focusing on strategy

The result is lost time, inconsistent answers, and missed opportunities.

We believed there had to be a better way.

What We Built

Settle is an AI platform for RFP discovery and response, designed to help teams move from opportunity to submission faster while reusing the knowledge they already have.

Settle helps teams:

  • Automatically discover relevant RFP opportunities

  • Decide which bids are actually worth pursuing

  • Draft responses using past proposals and company knowledge

  • Manage the entire bid process in one shared workspace

Instead of starting from scratch every time, teams build a reusable knowledge flywheel that improves with every proposal.

Early Results

Teams using Settle have already won tens of millions of dollars in contracts while dramatically reducing the effort required to respond to RFPs. You can read how Crafty uses Settle in our detailed case study → Crafty Scales RFP Automation: From Weeks to Hours Processing 3x the Volume.

Who Settle Is For

Settle is built for proposal teams, pre-sales leaders, revenue teams, business development organizations, and service companies that compete for enterprise contracts through RFPs, RFQs, and formal bids.

If your organization regularly responds to RFPs, Settle is designed for you.
