Stop hunting for E-Rate data.
Start reading the signal.

ERateSignal was built because the intelligence inside the E-Rate program has always been hidden in plain sight. The filings are public. The commitments are public. The vendor history is public. But on any given Tuesday afternoon, an account exec working a K-12 territory is still piecing it together from spreadsheets, prior sales motions, and a tab graveyard of USAC pages.

The data has always been there. Sellers shouldn't have to assemble it themselves.

Built by a sales leader with nearly a decade in K-12 public-sector sales, ERateSignal exists to put the public record where it belongs — in front of the people who need it, before they have to go looking.

ERateSignal is built for the account execs, sales engineers, and channel teams chasing K-12 and library opportunities through E-Rate. Regional resellers, national VARs, OEM field teams, managed service providers — anyone whose pipeline depends on knowing which districts are filing, what they're asking for, and which incumbents are vulnerable.

Their week is full of meetings, pipeline reviews, and travel. They don't have time to babysit a USAC search portal or maintain a personal spreadsheet of every Form 470 in their territory. They need the data surfaced, scored, and ready to act on the moment they open the app.

E-Rate runs on a competitive bidding process the FCC takes seriously, and so do we. The whole program depends on bidders having equal access to information and zero advance knowledge of what other vendors are proposing. ERateSignal is built to respect that line, not bend it.

We don't show non-public information. We don't surface bid prices. We don't help a service provider prepare an applicant's Form 470. We don't redistribute data from authenticated USAC systems. Every record we display is data USAC has already published to the public, and we say so on every page.

Respecting the competitive process and competing harder aren't opposites. Sellers who use ERateSignal end up sharper, faster, and better prepared — which means schools and libraries get better proposals from vendors who actually understand their environment.

E-Rate has decades-old consulting and filing operations serving applicants and the people who help them file. Those firms are valuable — and they're not what ERateSignal is. We aren't a consulting practice with a tool bolted on. We aren't a filing service. We don't represent applicants in the bidding process.

ERateSignal is a product, built end to end for sellers, with a modern take on what the public USAC record can become when it's structured, scored, and surfaced proactively. No exports. No spreadsheet exports of spreadsheet exports. No tribal knowledge tax on every new hire.

ERateSignal is operated by Maiko LLC, based in Dallas, Texas, founded in 2026. The product is the work of a single founder with nearly ten years in K-12 public-sector sales — two of them spent deep in E-Rate — and a conviction that this market deserved better tools.

We're new. We don't have a wall of customer logos or a roster of advisors with thirty years in the program. What we do have is a clear methodology, a public-data sourcing rule we won't break, and a product designed by someone who has actually carried a quota in this space.

ERateSignal is pre-launch. Founding members shape the deal scoring, the product taxonomy, and the territory analytics by using the product against live filing windows and telling us what's missing. If that sounds like the kind of thing you want in your stack, get on the list.
