We got tired of watching good teams lose days to the same questions.

AnswerRFP started from a simple observation: small life-sciences suppliers — CROs, CDMOs, diagnostics and medtech vendors — spend an outsized share of their best people’s time re-answering questions they’ve already answered before. Not because the questions are hard, but because the right answer is buried in last year’s proposal, a teammate’s inbox, or a quality manual nobody thought to search.

Meanwhile, the tools built to fix this were built for a very different customer: enterprise proposal teams with dedicated headcount, six-figure budgets, and a procurement committee to sell to. A ten-person CRO doesn’t need a platform. It needs its next RFP answered by Friday, without inventing an answer to a compliance question it can’t verify.

So we built AnswerRFP around two ideas we think are non-negotiable for this buyer: every answer has to be grounded in a real, citable document — never a guess — and the tool has to get out of the way of getting started. No demo call, no hidden pricing, no six-week onboarding. Upload your documents, see your first draft, decide for yourself.

We’re early. This page will get more specific as the company does — for now, consider it a founder’s note rather than a polished “our story” page. If you have questions about where we’re headed, ask us directly.
