Our story: from 5,000 proposals to the operating system that writes them.

Iris was founded in 2023. Ben and Sagee were friends from American University, both working in EdTech. Throughout their early careers, they completed a combined 5,000 proposals using legacy technology.

When generative AI broke onto the scene, Ben knew it could fundamentally change the way proposals are completed. After selling his company, Ben called Sagee, who quit his current job the next day, and they started working on Iris.

Today, over 300 companies internationally use Iris for RFPs, proactive proposals, and security questionnaires. Our team of 25 professionals have all lived the pain of the exact process Iris is trying to solve.
