Why I Built Bid Grid
As a property manager, I spent countless hours quoting jobs for my HOA clients. Every landscaping contract, every snow removal bid, every maintenance project meant the same painful process.
I'd create RFPs from scratch, email them to vendors, chase down responses, manually compare proposals in spreadsheets, and try to present something coherent to the board. It took 20+ hours every single time.
When boards asked "How did you evaluate this?" I'd scramble to defend my spreadsheet. I knew there had to be a better way.
Then I started talking to others—nonprofit directors, church operations managers, school administrators, small municipal staff. Everyone had the same problem. They all needed professional procurement tools, but everything out there was built for enterprises with full-time procurement departments.
So I built Bid Grid—not just for property managers, but for every small organization that issues a few RFPs per year and needs a simple, professional way to make vendor decisions.
"I built this because I lived this problem. Whether you're managing HOA contracts, selecting nonprofit vendors, or sourcing church contractors—you deserve professional tools."
