Do you hate working with your spouse? You’re not alone. In the United States, 97% of married couples choose not to work together. Maurice and Jordan Harary, the dynamic duo behind The Bid Lab, are part of that brave 3%.
After graduating from New York University’s Stern School of Business together and climbing the corporate ladders in their respective fields, they learned that their shared business acumen and entrepreneurial drive could help small businesses do more than survive—they could help them thrive.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s rewind.
A long time ago, back when Jordan managed car dealerships, she was vying to add a rooftop to the automotive group she represented, which required a Request for Proposals (RFP). But everything changed when Jordan received the final copy of the “professionally written” RFP to review the day before it was due. In short, the RFP they’d paid a consultant for was a mess.
Luckily for Jordan, she could enlist the help of her RFP-savvy husband, Maurice. Like a zombie throwback to their college finals, they burned the midnight oil from dusk until dawn until they’d developed a workable bid.
After taking some time to sleep, they realized what they had done together. Yes, they’d filled a trashcan with crumpled drafts. Yes, they were feeling a little bananas (more on that later). But with Jordan’s love of writing, editing and design coupled with Maurice’s RFP experience, they knew they had a winning combination. Right then and there, The Bid Lab was born.
From the early days of The Bid Lab, Maurice and Jordan poured their hearts into each project, refining content, perfecting designs, and ensuring professionalism while building personal bonds with each client. Their dedication paid off, leading to the expansion of their business and their family. With 20 employees, 2 daughters and a dog in tow, The Bid Lab had become much more than a business. And because that didn’t seem like enough to do, 2022 saw the launch of Bid Banana, The Bid Lab’s proprietary RFP finding software.
Fast forward to today. For Maurice and Jordan, family was and remains the bedrock of The Bid Lab. As a niche small business here to support other small businesses, they know from personal experience what a difference the right partnership can make.
When you’re ready, they’ll still be here, the team, the kids and the dog too.
