About Light RFP

We founded Light RFP in 2022 with a simple vision: creating a marketplace for Requests for Procurement (RFPs).

Procurement is difficult to run in-house. An internal RFP process can result in a web of emails, paperwork, and phone messages that professionals need to navigate. New technology has only expanded the channels that procurement managers have to manage, often on their own.

David, our CEO, performed hundreds of RFPs during his career in operations at both Zipcar and Kepler Group. His reflections on procurement came to a head when he was growing the Costa Rica office of Kepler Group from 2 to 100 employees. He realized just how time-consuming it can be to do procurement without pre-existing contacts, and was surprised to learn there was no end-to-end solution.

Karlo directed his studies at Columbia University to computer science in the business context, and participated in internships at HBO Max, Five, Vyond, and True Footage. Karlo found himself operating in the real estate space when he became the live-in super for a building in Hoboken. He came to understand the problems of vendor coordination, and began to think of technical solutions.

As CEO and CTO, David and Karlo set out to make a system that would centralize and streamline procurement. They have created that platform in Light RFP. Light RFP is a software solution bringing together every aspect of the RFP process, taking the pain out of marketplace interactions, and allowing truly competitive RFPs.

Our goal is to help you leave the stress behind and experience procurement perfected.
