The problem

The bottleneck isn't ambition. It's senior commercial thinking, at scale.

Building a real business development function takes strategic thinking, sustained execution, and disciplined follow-through across months. Most companies have founders thinking strategically in spare hours, salespeople executing without strategic context, and no one connecting the two across a long campaign. Existing tools assume that connecting work has already been done.

  • Strategic BD thinking — markets, positioning, ICPs — is the most senior work to do, and the slowest to ramp.
  • AI productivity tools speed up individual tasks. None of them connect those tasks to a real strategy.
  • Most outreach happens without strategic context. It shows in the reply rates.
  • Existing CRMs assume the strategic groundwork has been done. Most companies are still figuring it out.
The solution

What if the BD function ran itself?

Alva isn't a productivity tool for someone running BD. It is the BD function — having strategy conversations with you, building a living strategy document, then deploying specialist sub-agents to execute on it across multi-week campaigns.

  • The orchestrator talks strategy with you and builds a living strategy document — markets, ICPs, positioning — that updates as the data comes in.
  • Six specialist sub-agents execute the strategy: discovery, copywriting, outreach, replies, deal analysis, competitive intelligence.
  • Multi-week campaigns run in the background. Alva reports in, escalates, and asks permission at the moments that matter.
  • Test a new market without hiring for it. Pivot strategy without re-staffing.
Architecture

One orchestrator. Six specialist agents.

Most AI sales tools are GPT wrappers. Alva is a system: a central reasoning model that coordinates specialist sub-agents across long-horizon campaigns. Here's what each one does for you.

The orchestrator

A central reasoning model that thinks in strategy.

Talks strategy with you, builds a living strategy document, then coordinates the six sub-agents to execute it across multi-week campaigns. It's the difference between a productivity tool and a function.

Discovery Agent

Finds your customers, partners and suppliers across 4.4 million locations worldwide. Continuous searches, scored matches, ranked daily.

Copywriting Agent

Writes outreach in your voice using your knowledge base, your products, and your competitive positioning. No template-tuning required.

BDR Agent

Runs autonomous outreach 24/7. Researches each prospect, finds the right contacts, sends and follows up — within budgets and hours you set.

Email Intelligence Agent

Reads every reply, extracts buying signals, surfaces unanswered questions, and updates your methodology fields from real conversation evidence.

Deal Analysis Agent

Scores every deal in real time against MEDDPICC, BANT or SPICED. Fires risk alerts before deals go cold.

Competitive Intelligence Agent

Maps your market, tracks competitor moves, and patches your outreach copy when the landscape shifts.

And the rest of the platform

A full CRM underneath the agents.

Focus

Your daily action list — commitments, overdue items, and AI nudges in one place. Always know what needs your attention.

CRM, PRM, VRM & SRM

Not just customers — manage partners, vendors, and suppliers with dedicated modules and relationship-specific pipelines.

Knowledge base

Alva extracts reusable sales knowledge from your emails — objection handling, competitive intel, and pricing patterns.

Instant deal briefings

Generate comprehensive PDF briefings for any deal in seconds. Perfect for handoffs and exec reviews.

Team collaboration

Invite your team with role-based access. Everyone shares the same AI intelligence in real time.

Reports & analytics

Win/loss analysis, sales velocity, methodology adherence, and AI insights. Export to CSV or schedule email delivery.

Adaptive intelligence

The same system, three different conversations.

Alva reads your role and adjusts how it works with you. A founder mapping growth strategy, a Head of BD steering execution, and a sales rep preparing for tomorrow's call all get a different experience from the same orchestrator.

Strategic Partner Mode
We're growing but I'm worried about pipeline concentration. Two clients are 60% of our revenue.
A
That's a real strategic risk and worth taking seriously. Looking at our current pipeline — we have 14 deals in progress, but only 3 are above £80k. The concentration pattern you're describing is starting to show in the data too. I'd suggest we use Discovery to build a broader mid-market pipeline this quarter. I've been thinking about expanding into the logistics sector — our positioning maps well there. Want me to set up an ICP and start running searches?

What's the state of our BD function this week?
A
Three campaigns running. The Healthcare ICP is 40% through its 12-week cycle — 312 prospects engaged, 47 replies, 8 qualified meetings booked. Mid-market is performing 2.3× our cold-channel benchmark; logistics is underperforming and I'd suggest pausing or rewriting the angle. One strategic question for you: based on the reply data, our positioning resonates more with operators than with C-suite buyers. Worth a quick conversation about whether to update the strategy document and re-target?

Deal Assistant Mode
I have a call with TechStart tomorrow. What do I need to know?
A
TechStart's deal health is 62 — amber. They've been quiet for 9 days, which is unusual for their pattern. Key things for tomorrow: their Economic Buyer hasn't confirmed budget yet (missing from MEDDPICC), and their last email mentioned a Q4 deadline pressure you can lean into. I'd lead with the ROI data from the Acme Corp case study — it matches their use case almost exactly. Want me to pull the full deal briefing?
Deal Assistant Mode

If you lead BD, Alva is your team. You stay where the value is — strategy, judgement, escalation — and Alva runs the campaigns you'd have hired five people to run.

Capabilities

From market analysis to closed pipeline — Alva runs every step.

Each capability is a specialist sub-agent. The orchestrator decides when to use which, and how to chain them across a multi-week campaign.

Email Intelligence Agent

Turn every email into pipeline intelligence

Alva reads incoming and outgoing emails, extracts buying signals, risk indicators, and unanswered questions — and surfaces one-click suggestions to update your methodology fields from real conversation evidence.

Where Alva is going

Twelve weeks. One approval. The whole BD function.

Today, Alva runs each step of business development autonomously. The next phase — already in development — chains those steps into multi-week autonomous campaigns. You set strategic direction; Alva runs the function from market analysis to closed pipeline, only pausing for the decisions only you can make.

1

You set the strategy.

Alva proposes the market, the ICP, and the angle. You discuss, refine, and approve. The result is a living strategy document.

2

Alva runs the campaign.

Discovery, outreach, replies, deal management — twelve weeks of execution running in the background, without further input from you.

3

You re-approve at the gates.

Alva pauses at three predefined permission gates — typically before outreach, before pivot, before deal handover — for your sign-off, or to update the strategy.
