Usul

TLDR:

Usul is building PitchBook for Government, starting with the Department of Defense. They use AI to size defense markets, map decision-makers, and identify relevant opportunities—all in one place.

Problem:

The DoD is the largest buyer in the world, however, turning federal budgets into contracts is notoriously difficult. YC recently requested startups interested in tackling government software, acknowledging that selling to the government is a daunting task few builders would approach on their own. Only a couple of startups have successfully broken into the government market, with some requiring lawsuits and billionaire founders to get their foot in the door.

Solution:

Usul, in response, builds software to simplify this process. Here’s an example for computer vision software:

1. Identify active defense programs for computer vision

1. Analyze other companies winning computer vision contracts

1. Identify and contact active government buyers for computer vision
