Our StoryFounded 2022 · Washington, DC · Built by veterans

Built by people who've signed the contract.

VETR was founded by veterans who used to award the contracts you're now bidding on. AI-powered proposal management for small businesses serious about federal work.

Mission

Small businesses deserve every advantage when bidding for federal work.

We built VETR from the seat of a former contracting officer — so that the next generation of bidders walks in knowing what's actually being scored, what's actually being bought, and how to win on merit.

VETR automates the complexity so your team focuses on the work that actually wins. The platform reads the solicitation, builds the compliance matrix, drafts the volumes, scores the bid, and packages the submission.

Built by veterans. Open to every small business serious about federal work. Every roadmap call starts with a customer conversation; every release ships with a veteran and a non-veteran small-business owner on the review.

An Acu-Elligent Product

VETR is the proposal-management product within the Acu-Elligent platform of tools for small business growth in the federal space.

Methodology

What We Believe

Operating principles, not platitudes.

Federal contracting should be winnable on merit

Businesses of any size, with the right preparation, can win federal work. Our job is the preparation.

Methodology beats magic

The VETR Framework is open. The software is the moat. Anyone can adopt the methodology; few can execute it under deadline.

Built by veterans, open to all small business

Veteran-led on purpose — that's our credibility. Designed for every small business serious about federal work — that's our market.

Audit trail by default

Every keystroke, every approval, every revision — logged, retained, exportable. The procurement officer never has to ask twice.
