River - AI account executives that demo and close B2B deals
byā¢
River enables B2B companies to sell with VoiceAI. When a lead enquires, our AI account executive joins a live call instantly, runs the product demo, handles objections, and closes - so no lead ever waits for a rep's calendar. Backed by founders of Ramp, Kalshi, and Lean.

@ethan_lee8Ā outcome based pricing:
- Demo agent: fee per demo completed
- Account executive: commission on deal closed
Let me know what's your use case happy to build for you
Congrats @tarekabi & @samabi on your launch! This is a great product that addresses one of the most difficult aspect of running a business. I am just wondering if your AI agents have options for African voices. Say a local product built in Africa for Africans wanted to use River, would that fit in naturally?

Soon we'll have agents selling to agent buyers. Seriously though, very cool

@rich_sunĀ hahah exactly we're getting ready for that and will be well positioned to serve that!
Thanks Rich
the demo and objection-handling part I can see working well, but "closes" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. does it actually have authority to agree on pricing or contract terms on the call, or does closing here mean it gets the prospect to a signed-ready state and a human still has to finalize the deal
Honestly this is the kind of thing sales teams would try immediately if it saves even a few hours of back-and-forth.
"Closes" is a strong word for an AI in a B2B context where legal review, procurement approval, and multi-stakeholder sign-off are usually between the demo and the signature. What does "closes" actually mean in River's model, getting a verbal commitment, booking a follow-up with a human AE, or literally generating a contract and collecting a signature? The answer changes what River is significantly.
