The problem

Both sides are blocked
by the same failure

Buyers cannot find signal in the noise. Vendors cannot reach buyers who actually need them. As a result, strong solutions go undiscovered and poor decisions get locked in.

For buyers

Vendor discovery is broken

Procurement teams receive hundreds of vendor approaches every month. Most are irrelevant. Some are excellent , but buried.

For vendors

Reaching the right buyer is unaffordable

Vendors with strong products still lose to competitors with larger sales teams. Cold outreach barely works, and enterprise sales costs are prohibitive for most companies.

What’s missing

A neutral infrastructure layer

Buyers and vendors need shared infrastructure that captures requirements, evaluates fit, and routes matches based on merit , not sales budget, noise, or persistence.

The infrastructure

A neutral matching layer for B2B

Capture intent once. Route vendors continuously. Score everything on merit. Infrastructure that compounds instead of decaying.

1
Foundation layer

Setup once, reuse forever

Capture requirements, priorities, and constraints once. Every future evaluation inherits this context automatically.

  • Organization → department → role context
  • Explicit priorities, not guesswork
  • You control what matters
2
Intake layer

GuardLinks route vendors to you

Always-on intake channels replace cold outreach. Vendors submit once and are evaluated against your real needs.

  • Evergreen vendor discovery
  • Time-bound procurement supported
  • Vendors self-select by fit
3
Intelligence layer

DESS scores every submission

Every vendor is scored across weighted dimensions. Results are explainable, defensible, and consistent.

  • 0–100 merit score
  • See exactly why X scored Y
  • Only top matches surface

How it works

Three layers.One system.

Setup once. Create intake channels. SalesGuard continuously evaluates and routes vendors using explainable scoring.

Step 01 · Foundation

Establish your evaluation baseline

SalesGuard formalizes how your organization evaluates vendors—capturing strategic intent, operational constraints, and risk posture once, then enforcing it consistently across every decision.

Business objectives and success metrics
Existing stack and integration dependencies
Security, compliance, and data residency requirements
Budget thresholds and commercial guardrails
Innovation appetite and vendor maturity preference
Weighted scoring priorities across teams
Governance model: Organization → Department → Sub-department → Individual. Policies cascade downward, with scoped overrides and full auditability.

Step 02 · Intake Infrastructure

Create GuardLinks™

GuardLinks are structured, public intake endpoints that replace inboxes, RFP emails, and cold outreach. Every submission inherits your evaluation profile and is scored consistently from the first interaction.

Always-On GuardLinks
Strategic moat

Continuous discovery channels that stay open indefinitely. Capture inbound innovation the moment vendors launch—without creating new processes or reviews.

Active Project GuardLinks

Time-bound procurement surfaces for defined initiatives. Deadlines, scope, and urgency are explicit—replacing traditional RFP workflows.

Step 03 · DESS™

Every vendor is evaluated instantly,objectively, explainably, consistently

The Dynamic Evaluation & Scoring System applies your organization’s priorities across every submission. Scores are deterministic, auditable, and enforced automatically, before humans ever engage.

Strategic Alignment

Does vendor's solution align with buyer's business goals, transformation initiatives, and strategic direction?

Example signal

Buyer goal: "AI/ML Adoption" → Vendor with native AI features scores 95, legacy vendor scores 60

Weight: 20-30% · Score: 95/100
Buyer-controlled weighting

Each organization defines what matters most. DESS enforces it consistently.

Explainable by default

Every score includes a rationale suitable for audit and executive review.

Continuously learning

Outcomes feed back into the system to improve future evaluations.

Only submissions above threshold are routed for review

Benefits for Procurement Teams

Spend less time filtering noise. More time evaluating genuine matches.

Indicator

Evaluate More Efficiently

Weeks, not months

Traditional procurement involves 100+ vendor conversations before making a decision. DESS pre-scores every vendor against your specific requirements, letting you focus evaluation time on the 5-10 that genuinely fit.

Indicator

Discover Beyond Your Network

Access to 10,000+ solutions

The best solution for your specific need may come from a company you've never heard of. GuardLinks create structured channels where relevant vendors can reach you, even if they don't have a 200-person sales team.

Indicator

Make Defensible Decisions

Explainable 0-100 scores

When stakeholders ask "why this vendor?" you have data-backed answers. DESS breaks down exactly how each vendor aligns with your strategic priorities, technical requirements, and budget constraints.

Indicator

Improve Adoption Outcomes

Better fit = better ROI

Poor vendor-buyer fit leads to shelf-ware, low adoption, and wasted licenses. By selecting based on comprehensive fit assessment, you increase the likelihood of successful implementation and realized value.

Our Mission

Building Meritocratic
Infrastructure for B2B

We’re building one-click infrastructure for B2B Procurement & Sales, a meritocratic marketplace where buyers and vendors connect based on genuine fit, not sales spend.

Our goal is simple: help the best solutions reach the buyers who actually need them. Buyers discover products they wouldn’t otherwise find. Startups prove product-market fit without burning capital on sales. Established vendors focus on customer outcomes instead of outbound volume.

Like Uber for transportation or Airbnb for hospitality, we’re evolving how businesses meet. At the core is a matching system built on buyer intent, continuously learning from outcomes, and optimizing for long-term value on both sides.

For buyers

Set requirements once: goals, stack, budget, security, and priorities.

Create GuardLinks: structured intake channels for vendors, always-on or project-based.

Review only high-fit vendors: scoring reflects your exact criteria, not generic rankings.

Reduce waste: fewer bad purchases, less shelf-ware, no shadow IT.

For vendors

Build once: a reusable Vendor Passport buyers can evaluate quickly.

See fit before submitting: predicted score shows whether the opportunity is worth your time.

Submit fast: most information pre-filled, only customize what matters.

Improve with feedback: clear explanations show how to increase future match quality.

The Aha Moment

“There’s a solution that fits us perfectly, and we would’ve missed it.”

When buyers discover the right vendor at the right time. When vendors win because they genuinely fit, not because they outspent competitors.

Better matches. Better outcomes. Meritocracy wins.

Pricing rationale

Designed to align incentives, not extract value

SalesGuard pricing is structured to reward genuine fit, reduce waste, and scale efficiently as value increases, for both buyers and vendors.

A meaningful free tier

The free tier provides sufficient GuardLinks and submissions to evaluate the platform in a real procurement context, not a demo environment.

Immediate ROI at the team level

Team pricing is designed to offset the time cost of vendor review. In most cases, time saved alone justifies the subscription.

Consistent evaluation across tiers

Every tier includes access to DESS scoring. Evaluation quality is never gated behind enterprise pricing.

Transparent upgrade paths

Upgrade guidance is explicit and based on usage thresholds such as users, departments, and submission volume.
