> Ryvala helps founders and ops leads at 30-200 person companies get better prices at software renewals.
> It connects to Gmail once (read-only, access revoked after the scan, no email bodies stored), finds the
> software you pay for and when each contract renews, matches competitor sales pitches already in your inbox
> to those renewals, and drafts a negotiation email that you send yourself. Status: private beta (waitlist).
