Akanotic was founded because bid teams at consulting and engineering firms were still finding opportunities the same way they did a decade ago — email alerts, shared spreadsheets, and word of mouth. We build tools that catch what those methods miss, so firms compete on the strength of their proposals, not the luck of who saw the tender first.
Our mission is to give consulting and engineering firms one source-verified pipeline for public-sector opportunities, so every bid decision starts from the same accurate picture.
We want every consulting and engineering firm bidding on public-sector work to have the same quality of pipeline intelligence as the largest players in their sector, regardless of firm size.
Dami Subair is the Founder and CEO of Akanotic, building AI-powered bid intelligence tools that help consulting and engineering firms compete for public-sector work.
With a background spanning strategy, business analysis, digital transformation, and technology delivery across multiple industries, Dami has worked closely with business leaders to solve complex operational and strategic challenges. He observed that bid teams often struggle not because opportunities are unavailable, but because they are fragmented across email, spreadsheets, and word of mouth. That insight led to the creation of Akanotic and its flagship platform, Strategy Cockpit.
Dami's vision is to give every consulting and engineering firm the same quality of pipeline intelligence as the largest players in their sector, regardless of firm size.
Today, Akanotic is working directly with consulting and engineering firms to validate and refine Strategy Cockpit through pilot engagements — building the platform hand-in-hand with the teams who will use it daily.
Strategy Cockpit is hosted in Canada, supporting organizations that prefer their application infrastructure to remain within Canadian jurisdiction. We are committed to responsible data handling, privacy, and security, and continuously review our hosting and operational practices as the platform evolves.
Additional technical and security documentation can be provided during pilot discussions where appropriate.
2025 – The Idea
Recognized a growing need for consulting and engineering firms to move beyond static reports and fragmented information toward one connected bid pipeline.
2025 – Research & Validation
Conducted market research, engaged with prospective users, refined the product vision, and validated the core challenges faced by bid teams at consulting and engineering firms.
2026 – Strategy Cockpit MVP
Designed and developed the first version of Strategy Cockpit, introducing AI-assisted monitoring of procurement, funding, and policy signals.
2026 – Early Demonstrations & Pilot Readiness
Worked closely with prospective customers and advisors to refine the platform, improve usability, and prepare for pilot engagements with consulting and engineering firms.
Looking Ahead
Our vision is to establish Strategy Cockpit as the trusted bid intelligence platform for Canadian consulting and engineering firms — helping teams catch opportunities earlier, manage bid risk proactively, and make pipeline decisions with confidence.
