Balance runs an enterprise sales method on your calls, for a founder who was never taught one. It records on your own machine, knows what you sell because you told it once, and holds both sides to what they promised. A CRM runs the whole customer lifecycle. Balance is built for the one window that decides it: getting you from zero to one.
Public beta coming soon.

What they care about
The problem
Here is the part nobody says out loud: I am not a great salesperson. What won was never me. It was the system I was handed, one piece at a time, over fifteen years.
You do not have fifteen years. You have a product and a calendar.
An enterprise seller gets a manager, a methodology, and their calls reviewed every week. You get a calendar invite and a hope. The gap between you and them was never talent. Somebody taught them a system, and nobody has taught you one.
The pipeline lives in your head, somewhere between a Slack thread and a note you meant to write down. That works fine until there are nine deals, and then it stops working, and you find out which one it was after it has already gone quiet.
In March the buyer said budget was approved. In June they say it never was. You know what they said. You cannot find it, and you are not going to argue with a customer out of memory.
"Call went well." "They seem interested." Those are not facts, they are feelings. And right now they are what your next quarter is built on, because there is nothing else in there.
So I built the system into software, and pointed it at the founder I used to be.
It took fifteen years to assemble. It should take you an afternoon.

The category
A prospect relationship manager. Change one word of the acronym, and you change the entire job.
Salesforce and HubSpot were built to run the whole customer journey, from first touch to renewal to churn. Balance does the one thing they treat as just another stage: the window where a prospect becomes a customer. Nobody else was built exclusively for it. That is the category, and it is the whole reason Balance exists.
The Brain
Every AI note taker walks into your call knowing nothing about you. Balance walks in knowing your company. Before the first call you fill in one profile: what you sell, what you charge, who you sell to, who you lose to, who you walk away from, and the proof you are cleared to quote. Nineteen fields. We call it the Brain. It is a profile, not a mind.
Filling it in
Balance reads your public pages and fills in what it can find, then asks you about the handful of things a website never says out loud. Hand it your own documents too: txt, md, pdf, docx. Or download the blank template, write it in your own editor, and import it back.
Trust
Facts it pulled off your site stay marked unconfirmed, and they stay marked all the way into the prompt. What you typed or confirmed yourself is never overwritten by a later crawl. Every fact keeps its source, down to the line it came from. After ninety days it asks you to look again.
What changes
Your meeting notes, your follow-up drafts, your recall answers and your loss autopsies are written by something that already knows what you sell and what you charge. A draft will never state an unconfirmed price, metric or customer name as though you promised it. Name your competitors and it recognises them when a buyer brings one up.
Custody
The profile lives in a database on your own computer. Export it to Markdown whenever you want, edit it anywhere, import it back and it round-trips exactly. In privacy mode your own local model does the reading, and Balance tells you which machine is about to read your pricing before you press the button.
What it does not do: it does not learn from your calls, and it does not get smarter as you sell.
You tell it, or it does not know. Skip the whole thing and Balance behaves exactly as it did before, which is a promise we hold with a test that fails if it ever stops being true. Every other page on the internet would have called this an AI brain. It is a form you fill in once, and it is worth more than the adjective.
The platform
Every call, captured verbatim and structured against the account. Every commitment logged the moment it's made. Reps don't type. The truth just lands.
Not another summary. A source of record.
Give and get, tracked across every stakeholder. When you're asking too much, or they're going quiet, you see it before the deal does.
No CRM measures reciprocity.
Everything you owe, everything they owe, and when. Front and center on the account.
Follow-through, made structural.
Encode MEDDPICC as evidence gates. Deals can't advance without proof: a champion, a pain, an event.
Discipline enforced by the system.
Every stage transition backed by evidence: MEDDPICC captured on the call and stage criteria proven, not a self-asserted probability. The number you commit is one you can defend to your board, your CFO, yourself.
Hope is not a forecasting methodology.
The category-defining idea
Every CRM counts activity: emails sent, calls logged, stages moved. None of it answers the question that decides the deal. Is this relationship reciprocal, or are you quietly running it into the ground?
Balance makes the relationship a first-class object with a ledger of every open commitment on both sides, and how well each of you keeps them. When the give stops matching the get, you see it before the deal does.
The relationship

Priya Rao · VP Engineering
Drifting one-sided
You’ve given
You’ve gotten back
Three given, one returned. The imbalance is the deal risk, and it is invisible to every activity dashboard you own.
How it works
No bot joins the room. The room shows two people, and two people are in it. Balance records the call on your own machine, and the transcript lands in the account: the real words, not a rep's spin.
Stakeholders, commitments, objections, pains. Pulled from the transcript by AI you control: your own key, or a local model that never leaves your machine.
The account view shows the next right action, both sides' open commitments, and where the relationship is drifting.
Stage transitions require proof: named champion, quantified pain, compelling event. No overrides.
Already on HubSpot or Salesforce? The deal, its MEDDPICC evidence, and the meeting note land in your CRM. Blank fields get filled. Fields your reps own are left alone.
What lives inside
Ask Balance
A single input over every conversation, ledger, and commitment. No dashboards to configure. No queries to write.
Ask Balance
Which of my Q2 deals are running on optimism, not evidence?
Next right action

As the other side talks, their own past words surface: the promise, the objection, the number they gave last quarter. On your machine, no lookup.

Works with your CRM
Coach mode
Balance keeps both sides’ open commitments in view. When you’re taking more than you’re giving, you see it and can restore the balance before the deal tips.
On the record
Most of what Balance holds came off a real call. Fix something by hand and the log keeps who changed it, what it said before, and when. Nothing is ever rewritten or deleted, enforced in the database itself.

Append-onlyOwnership
Balance records and transcribes every call on your own computer, and keeps your history in a database on your machine. No bot in the room. No audio streamed to a vendor cloud.
No third party in the room. None holding the file.
Point Balance at your own frontier model, or run it fully local in privacy mode and reach the cloud only when you choose. Vendor-agnostic, model-agnostic. Swap the model in two minutes.
How much should a model provider see? Your call, not a default's.
Stop paying, or Balance goes away, and everything you captured stays right where it is: on your device. The tools you left keep your recordings anyway.
It's not yours. It's theirs. Not here.
Who it’s for
Solopreneur · zero to one
You built it. Now somebody has to sell it, and that somebody is you. Balance runs an enterprise sales method on your calls, so you are not inventing one between demos.
Founder · first customers
Every call is a context switch away from the product. Balance holds what was said, keeps both sides to what they promised, and hands you the next right action so the deal doesn't go quiet while you ship.
Founder · a team under five
You closed the first ones yourself. Now a few people are doing it in your name and you can't sit on every call. Balance puts all of you on one method, checked against what was actually said.
Why now
AI is coming for the CRM. But the first wave is aimed at the wrong problem. Filling fields faster. A better-populated fiction is still a fiction. Balance is being built to automate truth instead.
Gong does one thing really well. The call recording is not it.
No, and that is the point. Balance is a prospect relationship manager, a PRM. A CRM runs the whole customer lifecycle, from first touch to renewal. Balance is built only for the part before that: turning prospects into customers. It runs one of two ways. If you don't have an enterprise CRM yet, Balance is your system of record throughout the sales process: accounts, deals, commitments, and a forecast built from what was actually said. If you already pay for HubSpot or Salesforce, keep it. Balance captures the call and writes the deal, the MEDDPICC evidence, and the meeting note into your CRM, filling what reps leave blank and never overwriting a field they own. Both writebacks are shipped and working in the beta today. Either way, we are not here to replace your CRM. We are here to speed up the process to where you can afford the enterprise one.
Start here
Balance is in beta. If your team sells on online calls, get on the list: we’re onboarding by hand and reaching out as early slots open. Runs on Windows and on macOS with Apple Silicon; pick your platform once your invite lands.
