For more than a decade, VisibleThread has been a trusted partner to organizations tackling some of the world’s most complex, regulated, and high-stakes bids. From government and defense to healthcare and critical infrastructure, you’ve trusted us with the content that matters most.
As the way teams bid, write, and evaluate RFPs has evolved, we’ve evolved alongside you.
Today, we’re thrilled to introduce the next chapter of VisibleThread. A clearer expression of who we serve, what we deliver, and why our approach matters now more than ever.
This isn’t a reinvention. It’s a refinement, built around you and the reality of modern bidding.
Why We Evolved
The RFP landscape has transformed dramatically.
Bid teams are no longer just writing responses. You’re making smarter bid/no-bid decisions, managing risk across stakeholders, ensuring compliance, and standing behind every word long after submission. All while facing tighter timelines and stricter security requirements.
Meanwhile, AI has entered the scene. But too often, it arrives as a black box, fast, impressive, and difficult to trust.
Our mission is clear: Reimagine How You Win
In this moment of constant change, every industry is rethinking how work gets done. VisibleThread is here to help you reimagine how you win business, with greater efficiency, reduced risk, and the confidence that comes from technology you can trust.
We’re focused on helping teams:
- Win more with less
- Win with greater efficiency
- Win with lower employee turnover
- Win with reduced risk
We believe in applying the right technology to the right tasks. Removing tedious manual work and replacing it with intelligence and insight exactly where you need it most.
Three Pillars That Define Our Approach
1. Full-Lifecycle RFP Intelligence
VisibleThread is a single, unified platform designed for your entire RFP journey. We support bid teams of all sizes across capture, proposals, and contracts.
We don’t ask you to change how you work. We strengthen it.
From early opportunity assessment through to post-submission review, VisibleThread eliminates tedious manual tasks and delivers intelligence at every stage; before, during, and after submission.
Teams use VisibleThread to:
- Qualify opportunities and support bid/no-bid decisions
- Write and review proposals with confidence
- Score, compare, and validate responses against requirements
- Reduce risk between what’s written, submitted, and delivered
The result? Better decisions, higher-quality submissions, and far less time spent chasing errors late in the process.
2. Traceability: AI Insights, Grounded in Evidence
AI should accelerate your work, NOT introduce new risks.
That risk is real. Forrester predicts that ungoverned generative AI in commercial applications will cost companies more than $10 billion as trust, compliance, and accuracy failures surface across critical workflows.
At the core of VisibleThread is a simple but powerful principle: every insight must be explainable.
Every result is traceable back to original source documents. Our AI is grounded in evidence, creating a visible thread between results and the proof behind them.
This means:
- No black-box outputs: you see exactly how conclusions were reached.
- No unsupported claims: every answer points to its source.
- No guessing: validate results with complete confidence.
Your team can stand behind every submission, knowing AI works as a trusted assistant not something that needs constant double-checking.
3. Security Without Compromise
Our customers operate in environments where security isn’t optional, it’s essential.
VisibleThread is trusted with mission-critical, sensitive bid content. We provide secure deployment options so organizations of any size can access modern bid technology within their security policies.
We support:
- GovCloud deployments
- Private cloud environments
- On-premise installations
- SCIF-aligned configurations
Your data remains yours. It is never used to train models, never exposed, and always controlled according to your requirements. Security isn’t an afterthought, it’s built into our foundation.
What This Means for You
This evolution is about clarity and momentum.
It makes it easier to understand where VisibleThread fits in your process, why our approach to AI is fundamentally different, and how we support secure adoption at scale.
But more than that, it’s about where we’re going together.
Looking Ahead with Excitement
As we move into 2026, you’ll see continued product innovation that delivers on all three pillars: One Platform, Traceability, and Security and then some.
We’re doubling down on RFP team efficiency, providing stronger, more actionable insights without ever compromising the transparency or security you depend on.
You’ll also see us more present in the market and community:
- Deeper collaboration with some of the world’s leading voices in bidding, capture, and procurement
- More customer stories and real-world case studies than ever before
- An expanded calendar of in-person and virtual events
We’re hitting the road soon including Brighton, Nashville, and Arlington, VA. We genuinely can’t wait to meet more of you face to face.
To support our growing customer base and ambitious plans, we’re hiring across all functions in Q1. We’ve also recently opened our new office in Tysons Corner, Virginia, bringing us even closer to many of our US customers.
Our Commitment Remains Unchanged
What hasn’t changed and never will, is our commitment to supporting bid teams working under pressure, with high expectations and real accountability.
We’re here to help you write better, bid smarter, and win with confidence.
We’re incredibly excited to share this next chapter with you. Thank you for trusting us with your most important work.
Here’s to Reimagining How We Win – Together.
Have a Wonderful Holiday,
Micheál McGrath, VP of Marketing
and The Entire VisibleThread Team.
