‍

Is this just generic news, or is it useful for SLED vendors?

Pursuit is a GTM tool built specifically for B2G sales teams, not for general news readers.

Pursuit turns emergency procurement data into actionable sales intelligence with verified buying signals, decision-maker contacts, bi-directional CRM integrations, AI-backed Slack alerts and bots, and AI-powered outreach drafts to help vendors generate more public sector pipeline.

‍

Can I filter emergency spending by state or industry?

Yes. You can filter emergency procurement data by state, city, county, school district, university, special district, police department, courts, and more. You can also search by industry, agency type, and custom date ranges, not just the last 90 days.
