The EU is set to invest €1 trillion+ in infrastructure by 2030 (rail, energy grids, e-mobility, broadband). In Germany alone public tenders total €250 billion/year, yet companies still hunt across a dozen portals, manually open PDFs, and sort hundreds of irrelevant notices. Existing aggregator tools simply keyword-match—they don’t really “understand” what you can build.
Our SaaS changes that by adding AI to every step:
1. Smart Crawling & Ingestion (V1)
* Start with 2–3 key portals (service.bund.de, TED.europa.eu, VDV-Portal)
* Scheduled Python pipeline downloads new tenders and attachments (PDF/DOCX/XLSX)
2. Automated Document Parsing
* Extract text and tables using pdfminer.six, python-docx and pandas.read\_excel()
* Normalize metadata: Tender ID, issuing authority, deadlines, CPV codes
3. Basic AI Matching Engine
* Rule-based filters on sector (rail, energy, e-mobility, digital networks)
* Fine-tuned DistilBERT model to tag scope, award criteria and estimated budget
* Company profile embeddings (keywords, past projects, certifications)
* Compute relevance score by combining cosine similarity and budget threshold
4. User-Friendly Output
* One-line summary, e.g. “Upgrade 20 km tram line in Munich, €12 M, bids due 15 Sept.”
* Map view of project locations (Leaflet)
* Email or in-app alerts when score meets user’s threshold
Why This Is the Ideal SaaS:
* Large, growing market: €250 B per year in Germany, €1 T+ in the EU
* Low competition on true AI: existing tools only do keyword matches, not real NLP
* High willingness to pay: saves 80% of manual research time and uncovers 30–50% more relevant bids
* Scalable: adding new portals or sectors takes days, not months
What We Need:
* Technical co-founder to build and maintain:
• Scraping pipelines and scheduler (Python, Airflow or Cron)
• Document parsing and OCR (pdfminer, Tesseract, python-docx, pandas)
• NLP/ML matching engine (PyTorch or TensorFlow, BERT-style models)
• Cloud infrastructure and DevOps (Docker/Kubernetes or serverless on AWS/GCP)...
My only real requirement is reliability — I’m looking for someone I can build a long-term partnership with. It would also be a plus if you have strong client communication or consultation skills that help bring in client interviews and opportunities.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d love to share more details.
