Problem
Finance teams often spend extensive time manually drafting RFP/RFQ responses, pitch books, and monitoring coverage, relying on scattered documents and inconsistent formatting. This manual process delays response times and limits the volume of opportunities a team can handle.
Solution
Starch offers an AI-native operating layer that automates the creation of RFP/RFQ responses, pitch books, and coverage monitoring by learning from a firm’s existing documents and style guidelines. The platform connects directly to the organization’s current systems, allowing it to pull relevant precedent material the moment an opportunity appears and generate a first‑draft in the firm’s preferred format and win themes. Teams can review and edit the draft within the same workflow, reducing turnaround from days to minutes. Implementation is delivered in weeks through a low‑code toolkit that builds custom workflows on top of the firm’s real documents and data sources, eliminating the need for large consulting projects or system replacements.
Target Audience
Primary customers are corporate finance, investment banking, and treasury teams that regularly respond to RFPs, create pitch materials, and track market coverage.
