Why top B2G sellers switch from Pursuit to Starbridge

Starbridge tracks the signals that matter most—like contracts expiring, new budgets, grants, hiring plans, and board minutes—and delivers the hottest accounts to your team every week.

That way, your reps spend less time researching and more time booking meetings with decision-makers who are already primed to buy.

Signals are early signs that a school district, university, or agency is planning to spend—like a new grant, a budget line item, or a contract about to expire. These are the first steps before an RFP appears.

If you sell into the public sector—state and local government, K-12 districts, or higher education—the answer is yes.

Our team will help you customize your search for whatever product you sell, even if not directly mentioned. For example, if you sell "AI-Powered Pencils", we'll help you find institutions who have opened up a budget for AI-initiatives or discussed AI in their meetings.

We pull directly from official school, university and agency websites - not Linkedin. Based on a recent test of 14,000 emails, we had a 98% accuracy rate compared to 60 - 70% from generic databases.

We do this by using patented web-agent technology, waterfall enriching, then continuously bounce-checking throughout the year.

Here’s the technical reason for why our contact and account data is more accurate: Learn more

We've had four enterprise accounts all previously on Pursuit's home page make the transition from Pursuit to Starbridge, across state & local government, k-12, and higher education. Reach out to our sales team if you want to learn more.

We continuously monitor and update contact information through multiple verification methods. When contacts become inactive, we immediately update the status in your CRM. New contacts matching your criteria are automatically discovered and added on a regular cadence.

We collect them from public sources like district and university websites, strategic plans, board and trustee minutes, budget reports, grants, news, job postings, and FOIA requests. Then we use AI to clean and score them so you only see what’s relevant to your accounts.

No. In fact, we discourage only using RFPs on our platform because if you're not already part of the RFP writing process, you're already behind. Starbridge helps you action on the full funnel—from early intent signals at schools, universities, and agencies, to competitor contract expirations, to live RFP alerts. We’re a complete go-to-market platform, not just a bid board.

We centralize thousands of state, local, education, and university bid portals—plus FOIA-based spend data you won’t find on any bid board. Instead of bouncing between sites, you get one personalized feed of every opportunity that matters.

We connect directly with Salesforce and HubSpot. Verified school, university, and agency contacts—along with signals and RFPs—sync to your workflows automatically so your reps don’t need to change how they work. See our full integrations list here.
