The contract you would have won is often in a market you never looked at, because looking meant a bilingual analyst, a local portal login and weeks of searching. GlobalGov makes looking cheap: one search across 193 countries, every notice in your own language, and who won before.
Usul (YC S24) is a sales-led AI platform for winning US defense contracts, with an AI inbox, recompete tracking, a stakeholder directory and a contract CRM. GlobalGov is for the contractor whose next win is in Warsaw, Riyadh or Canberra as often as Washington: global tender search in your own language, linked incumbent history, alerts, and an API, with prices you can see before you talk to anyone.
Every BD team has lost a bid it should have won to a crowded field. The quieter fights are abroad: an allied ministry buying ammunition, body armour or counter-drone systems, published in Polish, German or Arabic, on a portal your competitors never open.
Finding out whether a country is worth entering meant paying a bilingual analyst and getting a local registration before you knew there was anything to chase. GlobalGov puts those notices in the same search you use for SAM.gov, in your language, with the deadline and the buyer.
Each notice links to award history: who won similar contracts from that buyer, and at what value. You can decide bid or no-bid before you commit a proposal team.
Usul does not publish pricing, so every evaluation starts with a demo. GlobalGov publishes its prices, runs month to month, and lets you start a trial today and cancel if it does not earn its keep.
