Everything that led us here

Joist AI is now Kantiv.

A name that finally matches what four years in AEC pursuits revealed about how firms win work.

Joist AI was the foundation.
Kantiv is the reach.

We started Joist AI in 2022 to transform AEC pursuit workflows. But as we built, something bigger came into focus.

The firms that struggled most weren't struggling because proposals took too long. They were struggling because their institutional knowledge, years of wins, expertise built pursuit by pursuit, had no way to show up when it mattered most. That was the real problem. And it was bigger than what "Joist AI" described.

You are extending into new markets and new systems to build the future of our world. The entire process for how you find work, win work, and learn from every pursuit is being transformed. And behind it all is your marketing team, extending on the foundation and reaching for what's possible.

That kind of transformation puts enormous pressure on the people driving it. Most tools weren't built for any of this. Not every company understands your firm, your pursuits, and the specific way AEC marketing teams work.

We do. And because we've grown alongside you, our vision has gotten bigger. We've grown from a proposal generation tool into a pursuit intelligence platform because the transformation you're going through demands it.

Four years and thousands of conversations later, we know what that looks like. It's marketers bringing insights from data buried for decades. It's teams winning more of the right work, and going home early.

That's the win we're in it for.

We're an extension of your team. When you win, we win. That's what the next chapter is about.

Nothing changes
for you,
except the name
on our door.

Why the name Kantiv
Built to help your firm
reach further.
Kantiv is inspired by the cantilever, one of architecture's most elegant structural feats. A structure that extends boldly into space, supported by the strength of its foundation.
That is Kantiv. Your firm's expertise, relationships, and institutional knowledge: the foundation that lets your team reach further, into better pursuits, bigger wins, without the scramble.
Our Team
Built by people who’ve spent their careers
in and around AEC.

We didn't build Kantiv from the outside looking in. The team behind this platform knows the pursuit season, the weight of a go/no-go call, and what it means to a firm when the right work is won. That's why we build the way we do.
