About
What — and who — is Hank.
Think of Hank as the teammate whose entire job is watching public agencies — every portal, every board packet, every budget line, everywhere you sell, all day. Nobody on a business development team has time to do that by hand. Hank does nothing else.
Every day Hank reads tens of thousands of sources — agency procurement portals, board packets and meeting minutes, budget approvals, capital plans, and expiring contracts published by cities, counties, school districts, transit and utility authorities, and state agencies. What matters to your service lines shows up in your feed in real time, the day it publishes, often months before a solicitation exists. When the solicitation does post, Hank breaks it down into scope, key dates, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and compliance items, names the people at the agency to contact, and drafts a first pass at the proposal from your own past work. Every signal, contact, document, and pursuit stays in one place your team works out of.
Who we serve
Any company that sells to state and local government — construction and engineering, professional services, IT and software, facilities, staffing, equipment and supply. The buyers are cities, counties, school districts, transit and utility authorities, and state agencies, and they run thousands of separate procurement processes with no shared bid board.
The scale is easy to underestimate. Public construction alone is roughly a $541 billion annual market in the United States, and that is one category of spend among many. That fragmentation is the opportunity. The documents that decide public work are published months before a solicitation exists. Hank reads them.
Questions
- What does Hank do?
- Hank monitors tens of thousands of public sources every day — agency portals, board packets, budget approvals, capital plans, meeting minutes, and expiring contracts published by cities, counties, school districts, and state agencies — and surfaces what matters to your service lines in real time, often months before a solicitation posts. When a solicitation lands, Hank breaks it down into scope, key dates, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and compliance items, identifies the agency contacts to call, and drafts a first-pass proposal from your past work. Every signal, contact, document, and pursuit stays in one place your team works out of.
- Who is Hank for?
- Any company that sells to state and local government. Construction and engineering, professional services, IT and software, facilities and maintenance, staffing, equipment and supply — if your buyers are cities, counties, districts, authorities, or state agencies, the public record that decides your next contract is already published.
- How much does Hank cost?
- Pricing is set on a sales call. It depends on your geographic footprint and the number of business lines you pursue, so there is no public price list.
- How long does implementation take?
- Days to a week. Onboarding is a scoping session covering service lines, target agencies, and contract sizes, after which signals begin arriving in your feed.
