David Manrique
David founded Civant after repeatedly seeing capable suppliers reach public-sector opportunities too late, with too little context and too much pressure on small commercial and bid teams.
Civant is a procurement intelligence platform with forecasting at its core.
Founder accountability
The person behind the product and its claims
Civant is founder-led. David remains directly accountable for how the platform is described, what evidence is published, and where the company draws a clear limit around uncertainty.
Product direction
Turning recurring public-sector commercial problems into an evidence-led product and operating model.
Method and claims
Keeping forecast evidence, AI interpretation, external review, and marketing claims clearly separated.
Customer work
Working directly with early customers on market entry, buyer focus, procurement timing, and bid discipline.
Company development
Building Civant from Ireland through customer evidence, independent scrutiny, and controlled expansion.
Public responsibility
Named ownership of Civant's claims and method
David is publicly accountable for how Civant describes the platform, its evidence, its limitations, and its development.
Independent outcomes will be published only after the scope, findings, actions, limitations, and implementation status can be documented.
