Your first customers, without your first sales hire.
Founders are expected to sell, build, and raise at the same time. We take prospecting off your plate: a done-for-you LinkedIn and email outreach program that puts your product in front of the right decision-makers and books qualified meetings, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time SDR. We bring the prospects. You close the deals.
Prospect list curation
We turn your ideal customer profile into a list of real decision-makers, then use buyer intent data to put the ones already looking for a solution like yours at the top.
Drip campaigns
Personalised LinkedIn and email sequences go out in your voice, with our software handling the follow-up and tracking every reply so no lead is dropped.
Founder profile optimization
Early buyers are buying the founder as much as the product. We rework your profile so your credibility is clear the moment a prospect looks you up.
Website retargeting
Visitors who land on your site and leave are identified and re-engaged, so early interest doesn’t go to waste.
Who we reach
Founders and CEOs
At smaller companies the person who signs is often the person who started it. We go straight to them.
Department heads
The leaders who feel the problem your product solves every day, and who can champion it internally.
Procurement and operations leaders
The people who approve new vendors and make sure a purchase actually gets rolled out.

Common questions
We haven’t found product-market fit yet. Is this too early?
If you know who you’re selling to and can take the meetings, it isn’t too early. Outreach is also one of the fastest ways to learn which message and which buyer actually respond.
Why not just hire an SDR?
A full-time SDR means salary, tools, training, and months of ramp-up before the first meeting. We bring the process, the data, and the software on day one, for a fraction of the cost.
Whose LinkedIn profile do you use?
Usually the founder’s. Personal profiles get roughly 2.75x the impressions and 5x the engagement of company pages, and early buyers want to hear from the person behind the product.
Is this just automation?
The sending is automated; the messaging isn’t. Lists are built around intent data and the copy is written for the person receiving it.
What do you need from us?
A clear picture of your ideal customer, access to the profile we’ll be optimising, and someone on your side to take the meetings we book.
