Our story
Tough Leaf was built alongside prime contractors and government teams navigating increasingly complex participation and compliance requirements.
What we saw was consistent across projects and markets: teams relying on spreadsheets, inboxes, and outdated lists to manage sourcing, outreach, and documentation — even as requirements grew more complex and oversight increased.
Instead of building another point solution, Tough Leaf was created to support the entire project lifecycle. By connecting sourcing, outreach, compliance, and spend visibility into one ecosystem, we help prime contractors and government teams operate with clarity, reduce risk, and focus on winning and delivering work — not chasing paperwork.
