The company
Civio
Civio (Civio RFX) is an agentic AI platform for companies that sell to government, automating RFP, RFI, and RFQ response end to end, from scoring inbound requests to drafting responses to updating CRM records. It's co-founded by CEO James Ha and CTO Dr. Anindo Banerjea, and incubated by AI Fund, the venture studio led by Dr. Andrew Ng.
Before SamSearch
Unifying government opportunity data is a full product team's job by itself
Federal and SLED opportunity data lives across thousands of separate sources with no shared format: SAM.gov for federal notices, DIBBS and GSA eBuy for specific procurement types, and a different portal for nearly every state, county, and municipality. For an RFX automation platform, building and maintaining that ingestion layer is a permanent engineering commitment that competes directly with building the product customers actually pay for.
How they use SamSearch
The capture workflow
Rather than integrating dozens of federal and state-and-local data sources one at a time, Civio pulls opportunity data straight from SamSearch's API, with federal and SLED sources unified behind a single call. Civio's own customers get complete coverage without Civio having to build and maintain that plumbing itself.
