How VeLA Works

From unknown to
unfair advantage.

No forms. No consultants. No manual searching. VeLA identifies your company, builds your intelligence profile, and surfaces opportunities ranked by your probability of winning — automatically.

01 — Identify
Your profile, built instantly.
Type your company name. VeLA scans SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, SBIR.gov, USPTO, and Google Scholar — building an intelligence profile before you finish typing.
02 — Translate
Your science, in their language.
VeLA's translation layer maps research terms to procurement vocabulary — surfacing opportunities you'd never find with keyword search, because the words don't match but the science does.
03 — Rank
Win probability scoring.
Technology fit, agency history, competition density, and prior award patterns — not keyword matches.
04 — Brief
Full competitive brief.
Named competitors, threat ratings, alignment scores, and a plain-English recommendation on whether to pursue.
05 — Signal
See it before it's posted.
Pre-solicitation signals surfaced 3–6 months before they appear on SAM.gov.
