Tysons AI startup raises $10M in seed funding

Tysons startup pWin.ai, which developed an AI proposals writing tool, has raised $10 million in a seed funding round.

MicroStrategy co-founder Sanju Bansal, members of the Blue Delta Capital Partners team and “other government contracting industry leaders” led the round, according to a Monday news release.

The startup developed its generative AI tool in partnership with Shipley Associates, a business development training and consulting company based in Utah. pWin.ai said in a news release its product can improve win rates by up to 20%.

“pWin.ai simplifies RFI and RFP response generation, empowering businesses and government contractors at the federal, state and local level to increase both bid volume and win rates,” pWin.ai co-founder and CEO Vishwas Lele said in a statement. “What sets our enterprise-grade SaaS products apart is our relentless focus on writing quality.”

pWin.ai was founded in 2024. The startup’s clients include large contractors like Parsons and Astrion as well as small and mid-sized companies like CRL Technologies and Applied Information Services. Its tool operates in Azure Commercial and Azure Government environments.

“For us, it has proven to be not just another software product but a strategy amplifier that frees up the team to surface insight faster and deliver on our big growth goals,” Holly Losh Trombly, corporate vice president of proposals at Astrion, said in a statement.
