We understand your pain

“I don't have time to write proposals and run the firm.”

Principals spend 38 hours per submission instead of leading projects and winning clients.

Sarah M.

PRINCIPAL, ARCHITECTURE FIRM

“We keep losing to firms with bigger BD teams.”

Without a system, smaller firms can't compete on proposal volume or quality.

Marcus T.

BD DIRECTOR, ENGINEERING FIRM

“Our institutional knowledge walks out the door every time someone leaves.”

Past proposals, project data, and team expertise live in people's heads, not in a system.

Alicia R.

FOUNDER, AEC CONSULTANCY

Do I need to upload all my firm's data before I can use Scout?

You can start generating proposals with whatever you have. Most firms upload 3 to 5 past projects and a few team resumes and see strong results immediately. Scout gets better the more you add over time.

Can I try Scout before committing to a plan?

Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You can generate real proposals using your own firm's data before making any payment decision.
