CLEATUS Raises $4M Seed to Make Government Contracting Accessible to Every Small Business
Summary
CLEATUS raised a $4M seed round co-led by Las Olas Venture Capital and REVO Capital with participation from Motley Fool Ventures to accelerate its AI platform for government contracting. The platform uses agentic AI to automate the full find-bid-win workflow across federal, state, local, education, and defense sources, and has already helped 500+ contractors. The company plans to expand data sources, build smarter AI agents for capture, compliance and proposal writing, and develop a procurement OS with embedded fintech to let SMBs find, win, and get paid on contracts in one place. This funding aims to lower the barriers that keep small and midsize businesses out of the $2.7 trillion public procurement market and increase competition for government contracts.
