I had been struggling with understanding the bid process. As a small minority business, I have to wear many hats. I had been unable to fully dedicate time to learning how bidding works and finding jobs to bid on. I reached out to Propeller for assistance. They located several bid opportunities for me and we discussed which ones were suited to my capacity. Propeller paired me with an expert who took me through the steps and assisted me with structuring bid pricing. Together, they were masterful and with their help I was able to secure my first prime contract with HANO. That contract gave me the ability to hire one part-time person; one other minority person. I look forward to their continued guidance helping my business grow.

Propeller’s experience gave me a lot of things that I can put into practice. It was challenging, like going to school for me. But without doubt, I wouldn’t change doing it because it was necessary for our growth to make these steps, to make these connections, and to bring these tools into practice. Next year, we as a team will be stronger for it.
