Lightweight RFP response library for small teams. Auto-suggests answers from past proposals, tracks deadlines, and exports to client templates.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

1. Problem & Proposed Solution

Small sales / presales / security teams have to answer recurring RFPs, DDQs or security questionnaires but find market-leading tools (Loopio, Responsive.io, RFPIO, etc.) too expensive and heavy. “RFP Buddy” is positioned as a lightweight, cheaper library that surfaces auto-suggested answers from previous proposals, tracks due dates and exports to customer templates.

2. Search-Demand & Keyword Data
