The pursuit and client experience platform
Win the right work.
Foveate helps architecture and design firms present the work, keep every client comment in one place, and know what happens after they hit send. When you answer an RFP, it researches the brief and helps you decide whether to bid.
Turn your proposal into an experience clients explore, not a PDF they skim.
Try it free - no credit card required.

The problem
Most proposals die in an inbox.
You spend a week on a proposal, flatten the work into a PDF, and send it. Then nothing. You don't know if it was opened, who read it, or whether it reached the person who decides.
80–100 hrs
of unbilled work can go into a single competition.
Foveate drafts from the work you already have, helps you decide which pursuits are worth the effort, and turns the final proposal into a live client experience.
0
signals a PDF sends back once you hit send.
A Foveate link records every visit, comment, and question, so you always know where you stand.
Proposals and presentations
Presentations your clients will actually enjoy, generated in seconds, not days.
Drop in your renders and drawings, an old PDF or PowerPoint, or the RFP itself, and Foveate drafts the deck. Anyone in the firm can edit it, no InDesign specialist needed.
Client feedback
Every comment, on the work
and on the record.
Clients, consultants, and your team mark up the slides directly, with no account to make, so feedback doesn't vanish when the Zoom call ends. When a client says they never asked for a change, you can show them where they did.

Drawing on this slideJust now
- Markup that stays on the slide
- Comments, drawings, and video notes stick to the work, not to a screen share.
- A record of what was asked
- Every comment keeps a name and date. Mark it resolved, and the history stays.
- You decide who sees what
- Let each viewer see only their own feedback, or the whole group's.
- One room per project
- Decks, drawings, and files live in one room you share with the client, in place of the share folder on your server.
After you send it
Know what matters to your clients before they say it.
The decision maker opened your proposal three times and kept coming back to the fee and schedule. Foveate shows where each person spent their time, what they asked, and what they skipped, so you call knowing what they care about.

- Opens and time per section
- Per person, not per link.
- A note when they open it
- Hear about it the moment the client opens the link.
- Made to be passed on
- Your logo up front, and it looks right on a phone. Clients show off the work they hired, and that's where referrals start.
- They ask your deck, not ChatGPT
- Clients ask the presentation their questions. It answers from your work, and you see every question.
Clients and pursuits
Pick your pursuits.
Keep your clients.
Know if an RFP is worth your time before you write a word, and what each client wants long after you've won.
Know your clients, keep them happy
Clients don't talk about design the way architects do. Client Profiler turns what they say into what they want, so conversations stay easy from the pitch to handover, and happy clients send referrals.

Foveate for firmsThe business case
One more win pays for it.
You don't have to win everything. If a better proposal and a better-timed call win you one more of the pursuits you already chase, Foveate has paid for itself many times over. It pays for itself again the first time you settle a disputed change by showing the client their own comment, instead of redoing the work.
Your fee, not the construction value.
One more win this year
+$150,000
In fees, from one more of your 25 pursuits. That's 4 points on your win rate.
One win covers a year of Foveate 64 times over.
Pro is $39 per person a month, billed annually, for up to ten people.
What we hear
Great work still has to win the job.
Foveate is built by architects and engineers, and it isn't venture-backed. We'd rather earn your subscription by making something good than keep it by making it hard to leave.
“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.”

Common questions
Foveate is the pursuit and client experience platform for architecture, engineering, and design firms. It turns drawings, renders, video, and 3D models into one live link clients explore, collects their feedback in one place, and shows what held their attention. Firms that respond to RFPs also get research and a go/no-go on each one.
Yes. The free plan includes 200 AI credits, up to five creations, and a small 'Made with Foveate' badge. Every new account also gets 7 days of Pro. After that, Pro keeps view insights, client profiles, gated and password-protected links, and your own branding, for $39 per person a month, billed annually, on teams of up to five.
Most people send their first presentation the same day. Start from your renders and drawings, the last PDF, PowerPoint, Word file, or InDesign HTML5 export you sent, or describe the project in a sentence, and Foveate builds an editable draft on your brand. You don't need to be an InDesign specialist, so anyone in the firm can make changes.
No. They open one link on any device, with nothing to install and no attachments or versions to keep track of. On a gated link, you can ask viewers for their name and role before the presentation opens, so you know exactly who is reading.
Yes. Nothing is public unless you share it. On Pro, a link can require a password, expire on a date, or ask each viewer for their name and role before it opens. You also choose whether viewers see each other's comments or only their own. Foveate only records activity inside your presentation, and your files are encrypted at rest and in transit.
Yes. Export any presentation to PDF or PowerPoint when a client or a procurement portal asks for a file. You can keep links in the PDF that open the live version, so you still see when they look. Use the live link where it helps most: the shortlist interview, private clients, and the follow-up after you submit.
Yes. Most architecture firms are small, and Foveate is built for them. Presentations, client feedback, and view tracking work from the first day with no setup. The RFP research and pursuit tools are there when you start chasing larger work.
You could build a slide viewer. But the link you send a client is what you stake a pursuit on. It has to be secure, stay up, still open years from now, look right on every device, and tell you who opened it, and someone has to keep it that way. We do that, so your team can spend its time on the design.
Win the work. Keep your weekends.
Spend your time on the design, not the deck, and know who's ready before you call.
