Steerlab

Steerlab is a Paris-based AI software company that automates the end-to-end process of responding to Requests for Information (RFI), Requests for Proposal (RFP) and vendor security questionnaires. The platform auto-generates responses, maintains an automatically managed content library from connected and uploaded company content, and lets teams track progress, assign contributors, comment and collaborate on a response through to submission.

Beyond drafting, the product includes business intelligence features such as data-backed win probability and competitor bias detection, intended to help teams judge which opportunities to pursue and how to position responses. Users can access the system through a Chrome extension, a Slack bot and an in-tool co-pilot, and connect existing data sources through built-in integrations. The company positions security as a core requirement of the product and markets to PreSales, proposal and security teams.

Steerlab was founded in 2023 and is led by co-founder and CEO Rami Iguerwane and co-founder and CTO Othmane Hamzaoui, with Yasser Eljarieh as Chief Revenue Officer and Guillaume Hivert as VP of Engineering.

Founding story

The company was founded in 2023 in Paris by Rami Iguerwane and Othmane Hamzaoui, who met through their previous jobs and, in the course of working with more than 100 B2B companies, repeatedly encountered the same complaint: responding to RFPs and vendor questionnaires was long and painful. The pair combined experience from both sides of the process — Iguerwane had responded to and reviewed more than 100 RFPs and proposals after roles as a senior management consultant at Sia Partners and Innovation & AI Manager at Swiss Life, while Hamzaoui spent five years at Amazon building production AI models for more than 20 strategic customers, and previously worked in L'Oréal's AI R&D.

Business model

Steerlab sells a B2B SaaS platform to companies that must respond to RFPs, RFIs and security questionnaires. It offers a self-serve entry point ("try for free", with a first RFP or questionnaire offered at no charge) alongside a booked demo motion, and targets PreSales, proposal and security teams within B2B software companies.

Software platform sold to business customers, with a free trial entry point and a demo-led sales process; specific pricing is not disclosed on the reviewed pages.

Traction

At the time of its September 2024 pre-seed announcement the company said its customer base included well-known tech companies in the US, Canada, France and Germany. A third-party company profile listed the headcount at 2-10 employees, while a French startup database listed 11-50.

Latest developments

Following the 2024 pre-seed round the company stated it would expand its engineering team and scale sales operations in the US and Europe. Its leadership page lists a Chief Revenue Officer and VP of Engineering, and it continues to publish blog content on RFP and procurement topics with entries dated into 2026.
