RenewalPad
Turn SaaS spend from a liability into a managed asset.
RenewalPad discovers every SaaS contract, owns every renewal, and negotiates every dollar. Not a dashboard. Not a spreadsheet. Agents that take action — and ask before they send.

// The thesis
Why we own RenewalPad.
// Why now
SaaS is the second-largest line item on most mid-market P&Ls and the only one nobody actually manages. Finance can't see it, IT doesn't own it, and procurement is busy with hardware. AI agents finally make it possible to run real procurement on every contract without hiring a team to do it.
// Market
Mid-market companies (200–5,000 employees) spending $1M–$50M/yr on SaaS, where the CFO has lost the thread on renewals, shadow IT, and overlapping tools — and where a single missed cancellation pays for the platform 10× over.
// Moat
The inventory is the moat. Once RenewalPad is wired into email, SSO, expense cards, and HRIS, the contract graph and benchmark data compound per customer. Switching means re-discovering the entire stack from scratch.
// The product
What it does.
Discovery across email, SSO, expense cards, and HRIS — every contract, every recurring charge, every login in one living inventory.
Intelligence layer: contract parsing, benchmark pricing, usage-to-license reconciliation, stack overlap detection, and a renewal radar.
Action agents that draft renewals, file cancellations, claw back refunds, and run vendor intake — always with a human in the loop before anything sends.
Finance close: GL coding, accruals, and a clean handoff to NetSuite, QuickBooks, and the major ERPs.
// What we've learned
Lessons from operating RenewalPad.
01
Sell to the CFO, deploy to the controller.
The CFO buys the outcome (spend down, control up). The controller lives in the product daily. Designing for both — exec dashboard plus operator workflow — is what turns a pilot into a renewal.
02
Agents earn trust by asking.
Buyers don't want autonomous agents firing emails at vendors. They want leverage with a human checkpoint. Every action our agents take is drafted, queued, and approved — and adoption tripled the day we shipped that pattern.
03
Discovery is the wedge, negotiation is the wallet.
Free discovery gets us into the stack. The moment a customer sees the duplicate Looms and the underused Salesforce seats, the negotiation and renewal modules sell themselves. Lead with the inventory, monetize the action.
