BidStride is built by Richard Faherty — US Navy 2013–2023, separated as E-6 / Petty Officer First Class. Electronics Technician Nuclear (ETN), reactor operator. Four years onboard USS Maryland (SSBN-738), Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine — strategic deterrent patrols. Four years as instructor at Naval Nuclear Power Training Unit (NPTU) Ballston Spa. Three Navy Achievement Medals. Currently completing Financial Economics at Columbia University, graduating May 2027.
Richard watched SDVOSB IT shops lose contracts they should have won — not because the firms weren't qualified, but because they were outgunned by competitors with better intelligence. BidStride is the platform he wished existed: purpose-built for SDVOSB-led federal contractors in IT, engineering, and construction, at a price that doesn't require a 100-person BD team to justify.
The Founders Circle gives the first 25 SDVOSB-led firms a fair-trade deal: lock in your annual subscription price permanently (while subscribed), and a direct line to Richard during the product's most important early phase. That's the entire pitch — no roadmap voting, no founders dinner, no recognition badge.
This is not a discount or a sale. It's a compact: you commit early, we commit early. Regular pricing applies to everyone after the 25 are claimed.
Founders Circle is annual-only because annual commitment signals the customer is in for the long arc. We're building this for SDVOSBs and small primes who plan in fiscal years, not in months.
If your subscription lapses (cancellation or unrecovered payment failure), the founders price is forfeit. Re-subscribing requires regular tier pricing.
We send aggressive dunning emails (5 over 12 days) before any lapse — your card on file is your safety net. As long as you update payment within that window, your founders pricing holds.
