The Opportunity

Problem

Freelance climatetech developers struggle to find consistent clients for carbon tracking apps because enterprises prefer established agencies over solo freelancers.

Solution

EcoProposal uses AI to craft professional proposals that position solo devs as established climatetech agencies, including scopes, timelines, and pricing tailored to enterprise carbon apps. It pulls from your portfolio and suggests upsells like compliance features. Win more RFPs by outshining competitors with polished, customized docs.
