EVE

Overview

EVE is an Inbox Revenue Engine for small and mid-sized B2B businesses. It connects straight to a company's email, calendar and documents. Then it works in the background to find revenue that is slipping away. That means overlooked leads, stalled deals and buying signals buried in day-to-day correspondence. It identifies the opportunity, scores it by value, drafts a reply in the user's own voice and surfaces it for one-click action. It serves businesses in sectors where email volume is effectively pipeline. Consulting, construction, distribution, recruiting, brokerage and event management all fit that description. Businesses without a dedicated sales operations function fit it best.

Challenges

The insight behind EVE came from hundreds of interviews with small business owners. One pattern showed up again and again and it was expensive. As much as 80% of their work happens over email. Almost none of that intelligence ever reaches a CRM or project management tool. So a company's most valuable commercial information sits as unread context in somebody's inbox. Who asked for pricing. Which deal went quiet. Who said their budget was approved. Traditional CRMs do not fix this. They were designed for teams with the time and headcount to maintain them. They depend on manual data entry. A small business owner handling sales alongside delivery and operations won't keep that up. So the CRM drifts out of date. The team stops trusting it. It becomes another system to ignore. Meanwhile the revenue loss is continuous and invisible. A prospect who never got a follow-up. A quote that was never chased. A deal that stalled because nobody noticed it had gone quiet. Nobody sees it happen because nothing appears to go wrong. There's no error message for a deal that quietly died in an inbox.

Solution highlights

EVE was built to live where the work already happens. Nobody has to change how they work. It connects to Gmail or Outlook in minutes with no setup, no training and no migration. Insight starts arriving almost immediately. From there it runs continuously. It scans inboxes around the clock for new and stalled deals. It detects the buying signals that indicate real intent: a request for a demo, a mention of approved budget, a request for pricing. It scores each opportunity by potential value so attention goes where the money is. EVE doesn't stop at a notification. It drafts a personalised reply matched to the user's own writing tone. A flagged opportunity becomes a response that can be sent with one click. Across a team multiple inboxes feed a single company-wide view. The business gets one live dashboard of all revenue activity showing what is moving, what has stalled and what is being missed. The design philosophy is autonomous execution rather than reporting. EVE does not just tell the team what should be done. It prepares the work and leaves the decision with a person.

Outcomes

EVE came out of stealth in November 2025 having raised $2 million in pre-seed funding led by Firsthand.VC. Participation came from a16z's Scout Fund, Acquisition.com Ventures, Geek Ventures, Founders Future, Punch Capital and Silicon Gardens. Angels included the co-founders of Slack and Hugging Face and the former CEO of Oura. Over 500 small businesses joined the waitlist during stealth. Some were already running their inboxes as live revenue dashboards. The company reports that businesses recover 20% to 30% of the revenue typically lost in daily communication gaps. One early customer was Leadature. Its VP of Business Development reported that the team closed 25% more deals within three months. Same headcount. No change to how they worked. That is the clearest validation of the product's central bet. The revenue was already there and only needed surfacing. Investor commentary has framed EVE as reimagining CRM from the ground up for the businesses least served by traditional systems.
