The Challenge
While working at Palantir, founder Zach Long hunted government opportunities the hard way, trawling SAM.gov and other portals by hand.
"I'd get 90 irrelevant leads for every useful one."
Those mismatches cost hours each day and left him second-guessing which notices really mattered. After founding ConductorAI, Zach knew what he needed: fewer leads, but far better ones, pushed straight to his inbox.
The Solution
After an exhaustive search for platforms that could surface government opportunities, Zach finally landed on Sweetspot.
"This was just immediately night and day better. It wasn't even close."
The feature Zach relies on most is Sweetspot's Saved Searches. It allows him to create unlimited custom queries that generate email alerts tailored to his interests. He can fine-tune the frequency of those notifications, adjust relevance settings, and even loop in team members to receive the same updates.
Clean alerts, real results
"The emails are good, easy to understand, high accuracy – that kicks ass."
Quality over quantity
"Rather than 90 misses for one hit, now it's maybe two misses for every useful lead."
Speed that matters
"You only have ten days to see this stuff. You guys got it right away."
Now, rather than spending hours sifting through opportunities on countless portals, Zach spends about 40 seconds scanning Sweetspot's email every morning and reads "basically all of the ones that [he gets] sent."
The Results
Sweetspot hasn't just shortened Zach's search – it's rewritten his bidding playbook.
