I built a tool that writes freelance proposals from a client brief — curious what you think?
Hey Hunters!
I'm Andy, solo founder of BidFoundry. I want to share what I built and get some honest feedback.
The idea came from tracking my own time last year. I was spending 3-4 hours on proposals before I'd earned anything from a client. Sometimes I'd lose the bid anyway. That math started to bother me a lot.
So I built BidFoundry. You paste in a client's brief, it generates a full proposal back, scope, timeline, and a pricing suggestion. You edit whatever you want and send it. The whole thing takes a few minutes instead of a few hours.
It's not magic. The output isn't always perfect. But it gets you 80% of the way there on a first draft, which for most freelancers is the hard part.
A few things I'd genuinely love to hear from people here:
If you freelance, what does your current proposal process look like? Are you using a tool, a Google Doc template, winging it?
Pricing suggestions feel like the trickiest feature to get right. How do you currently decide what to charge?
What would make something like this a no-brainer for you to actually pay for?
BidFoundry is at early access right now. If you try it and something feels off, I want to know. The roadmap is basically a list of things people have told me are wrong. Thanks for looking.
Andy
