Upstream delivers weekly pre-RFP intelligence to AEC business development teams — so you're positioned before the project goes public.
Standard pricing: $349/month. Founding rate locked forever. No contracts.
By the time a project hits a bid list, three other firms already have a relationship with the owner. The decision is halfway made before the RFP drops.
Most AEC BD teams are chasing — attending events, refreshing bid sites, waiting for the phone to ring. Meanwhile, the firms winning the work are positioned upstream, in planning meetings and early-stage conversations no one else is having.
The problem isn't your BD team. It's that finding early signals is manual, inconsistent, and time-consuming. Until now.
Your geography, project types, and size range. We configure your intelligence layer to match your exact market.
Upstream continuously scans planning boards, permit applications, zoning filings, and procurement portals — all public data, structured and filtered for you.
Clean, actionable opportunities at the pre-RFP stage. Project type, location, current status, and who to contact — ready to act on before your competition knows the project exists.
Make the call 60–120 days before the RFP drops. Build the relationship when it still matters. Stop chasing. Start positioning.
Projects at the planning and permit stage, filtered to your market. Delivered every Monday morning.
Your geography. Your project types. Your size thresholds. No noise — only what's relevant to you.
See projects before they go to formal bid. Get in the room while relationships and positioning still matter.
Upstream runs 24/7. You never miss a planning board agenda or permit filing in your target market again.

Upstream was built by Stephanie, a former Director of Business Development in commercial construction.
After years of building BD systems from the inside — and watching firms lose work simply because they found out too late — she built the intelligence layer she always wished she had.
Upstream is the system. You're still the relationship. We just make sure you're in the right room at the right time.
