Pursuit Intelligence for Design Firms
Stop sending proposals and hoping.
A design proposal costs your firm 40 hours you'll never bill. Foveate turns flat presentations into one live link that tells you who opened it, what held them, who forwarded it, and when to call.
30 minutes. Bring a live pursuit, we work on your own project, not a demo file.
“Procurement spent 18 minutes on budget. Forwarded to legal Tuesday. Flagged the timeline.”
That is the follow-up call you are currently guessing at.
What is Foveate?
Foveate is a Pursuit Intelligence Platform: interactive presentation and proposal software for architecture and design firms. It combines interactive proposals, stakeholder analytics, client engagement, and business development into a single browser-based platform, replacing the disconnected tools firms use to win work.
One platform for the whole pursuit.
Qualify the client. Build the proposal. Watch what happens after you hit send. Most firms use a different tool for each step and lose everything in between. Foveate keeps it in one loop, and every pursuit makes the next one smarter.

Prospect & Qualify
Know your clients, qualify your pursuits, and map every decision-maker before you invest a single hour in a proposal.
Build & Present
Create interactive proposals, 3D walkthroughs, and portfolio case studies that clients explore on their own terms and that teach you what resonates.
Know & Track
See who opened, what held them, who forwarded it, and when to follow up. Every share feeds intelligence back into the next pursuit.
The hard part is winning the work.
The industry wins 29% of its pursuits. Three people who have spent their careers on the other side of that number.
“If you’ve ever poured hours into a beautiful set of drawings, sent it off to a prospective client, and heard nothing back… you’re not alone.”
Mark LePage
Founder, EntreArchitect
“Right from the beginning, we realized the closer to the top of the food chain we can get, the better it is for us. And it isn’t just money. It is also steering the process from the beginning, making client expectations realistic.”
Rob Jalil
Partner, Toy Robot
“The best design tech stack in the world doesn’t mean much if you don’t win the job in the first place.”

The presentation gets you shortlisted.
The intelligence wins the work.
Every section your client touches becomes data. Every share becomes a signal. Every follow-up becomes informed.
Make clients feel the value of your design.
Flat documents were never meant to tell your story. Foveate puts clients inside of your vision.
- 3D walkthroughs, video, narration, and renders unified in a single link
- No login, no friction, no barriers between the client and your creative vision
- One live source, with a PDF on demand when procurement requests it
Client Researched and Profiled.
Size up the client before the first call.
Foveate builds a profile of every decision-maker from their forms, public signals, and live engagement, then models how they will react to your ideas.
- Reactions modeled against each stakeholder's tastes, goals, and risk tolerance
- Client forms surface budget, timeline, and red flags before the first call
- Stakeholder profiles built from public signals and meeting notes
The rooms you're never invited to. Now visible.
BizDev sees who engages. Design sees what resonates. Procurement spent 18 minutes on budget, forwarded to legal Tuesday, and flagged the timeline.
- Identify every stakeholder by name and role
- Track section-level engagement per individual
- Surface objections based on each stakeholder's priorities

18 losing pursuits × 4 people × 40 hrs × $150/hr
18 losing pursuits × $150K avg project value
See where those pursuits are leaking before the next one goes out.
Pipeline and Visibility
See every pursuit. Know why each one ended how it did.
Built for how design firms actually work
Common concerns, addressed.
No rip-and-replace. No learning curve. Fits alongside the tools your team already uses.
BD and Design Unified
No handoff gaps. No version chaos. BizDev sees the data. Design controls the experience. One source of truth.
Clients Don't Need an Account
One field, five seconds. They click your link and they're in. Zero friction. They can even comment right on your materials.
Works alongside your stack
Keep the tools your team already runs: Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, InDesign. Foveate works alongside them, not instead of them.
Your Data Stays Yours
Private to your workspace unless you publish a link. Never used to train AI models.
Questions design firms ask
We've heard every concern. Here's how we address them.
When someone opens your link, a branded screen asks for their name and role. One field. Five seconds. No account, no password. Full visibility for you.
CRMs track contacts and pipelines. They go quiet the moment your proposal leaves the building. Foveate covers what happens next: who opened it, what held them, who they passed it to. Most firms run Foveate alongside their CRM.
That's who Foveate is built for. You'll see every active pursuit in one place: who's engaged, who's gone quiet, and what's stalling. No handoff, no separate dashboard for someone else to maintain. If a coordinator or a partner joins later, they work from the same data.
Link tracking tells you someone opened your email. Foveate tells you the CFO spent 18 minutes in the budget section, forwarded the link on Tuesday, and left a comment about phasing. That's pursuit intelligence.
They open a link. That's it. No interface to learn, no account to create. Your clients' procurement and development teams already use deal room platforms like Seismic, Highspot, and DealHub every day. Yours adds 3D walkthroughs and design analytics to the same experience.
Custom colors, fonts, logos, and no 'Made with Foveate' badge on Pro and above.
Credits are pooled across your whole team instead of split up per seat. Nobody's individual allocation goes to waste if they don't use it, because anyone on the team can pull from the same shared pool. That also means there's no runaway spending: usage stays capped at the pool your firm has, not multiplied by headcount.
No. Most firms run Foveate alongside one.
