InsiderAdvantage and f2 Technology Align to Launch GrantAdvantage Product

New service enhances GovernmentBids.com product by helping businesses locate funding for government procurement opportunities

Atlanta, GA - (February 26, 2003) - InsiderAdvantage, one of the nation's largest sources of government procurement information, and f2 Technology, experts in information architecture, today announced their new strategic alliance to offer increased, easier access to corporate and government grant opportunities.

This alliance will enhance InsiderAdvantage's service offerings by providing one-stop, online access to funding opportunities for government procurement. The result will be the premier vehicle for helping small businesses and corporations to identify business opportunities and funding sources at federal, state and local government agencies.

"This alliance leverages the mutual success of both companies to deliver a missing ingredient for businesses seeking government contracts," said Matt Towery, co-founder and chairman of InsiderAdvantage.

"By combining the technical resourcefulness of f2 Technology with the research knowledge of InsiderAdvantage - which includes more than 18,000 bid and Request For Proposal listings on IA's GovernmentBids.com - we will be able to deliver the most comprehensive market research available to help businesses interact with government," said Mark Knowles, president and founder of GovernmentBids.

As a result of the f2 alliance, InsiderAdvantage/GovernmentBids subscribers will have access to an increased volume of timely data and proprietary analysis on new funding and open bids within a wide range of government contracting marketplaces, including homeland security, e-government services, environmental resources, and other innovative markets that are still being developed.

"We have seen the proven track record of GovernementBids.com," said Frank Lesesne, CEO of f2 Technology. "Helping InsiderAdvantage bring corporate and government grants into their portfolio through GrantAdvantage.com is a great opportunity for us."

"This alliance adds to a succession of new products and services for Insider Advantage," said Gary Reese, vice-president of information acquisition for InsiderAdvantage. "Two recent additions include our alliance with epipeline - the leader in federal procurement information - and the introduction of 'Inside The Numbers,' Matt Towery's weekly analysis of InsiderAdvantage polls for Creators Syndicate. InsiderAdvantage polls are quickly gaining a national reputation for asking critical questions and getting accurate answers," said Reese.
