For founders

You are the whole sales team, and outbound is the first thing to slip.

Nobody founds a company because they wanted to spend Sundays building a prospect list. Outbound is the task most likely to be genuinely important and still lose every week to shipping, hiring and payroll — not because it is hard, but because it never finishes.

Selling is your job until it is someone else's job. The problem is not that you cannot write a good email — it is that writing forty of them competes with shipping, hiring and payroll, and loses every week.

Where it breaks down

The list is never done

Finding companies is the part that feels like progress and produces none. It also goes stale the moment you stop.

Volume kills the quality

The first ten emails are personal. By the thirtieth you are pasting, and the reply rate tells you so.

No feedback loop

Without tracking per segment you cannot tell whether the offer is wrong or the audience is.

A run, for you specifically

  1. 01

    Paste your web address and watch the agent describe your own company back to you — this is where you catch a wrong assumption early.

  2. 02

    Approve or edit the buyer segments it proposes.

  3. 03

    Read the drafted emails. They are written per person, so they are worth reading.

  4. 04

    Launch, then check replies in one inbox.

What you look at day to day: The dashboard: who replied, which segment they came from, and what it cost to get there.

Why founder outbound stalls in month two

The first batch is always good. You know the market, you write ten specific emails, two people answer and it feels solved. Then the list runs out, and rebuilding it competes with the release you promised a customer.

By the thirtieth email you are pasting. The reply rate notices before you do, and the conclusion drawn is usually the wrong one: that cold outreach does not work for this product, rather than that the personal version stopped after email ten.

Where the agent is genuinely useful to a founder

The most valuable minute is the first one. When the agent reads your site and describes your company and its buyers back to you, you either nod or you flinch — and flinching early is worth a great deal. A wrong assumption caught in the preview costs nothing; the same assumption caught after four hundred emails costs a quarter.

After that it is unglamorous: named companies, named decision-makers, verified addresses, one short email per person written after reading their business. You review, correct, launch, and then only handle replies.

Pace that suits a company with no sales team

Twenty-five emails a day per mailbox is not a limitation you have to work around at this stage — it is roughly the volume one person can answer well while also doing their actual job. A steady trickle of specific conversations beats a burst you cannot follow up.

The dashboard exists to answer one question honestly: which segment is producing replies, and what did those replies cost. That is the input to your next positioning decision, and it is the part a spreadsheet of sent emails never gives you.

Why founders pick this

  • You are the sales team and will be for a while.
  • The pitch is still moving, so the copy has to track the product.
  • You want to catch a wrong assumption about your buyer early, in front of you.
  • Replies matter more than volume.

Questions

I have not defined an ICP yet. Is that a problem?
It is the normal starting point and the reason the first step exists. The agent proposes segments from your own site with the reasoning written out, and you edit that reasoning. It is faster to correct a proposal than to author one from nothing.
How much does it cost to start?
Looking is free and needs no card: type your web address and watch a full run on your own domain. Sending starts at $49 a month, which is one pre-warmed mailbox and a hard cap of twenty-five emails a day.
Why only twenty-five emails a day?
Because that is what a mailbox can send cold without hurting its own reputation. The cap is enforced in the backend rather than offered as a setting. More capacity means more mailboxes, and provisioning a new one takes about twenty-four hours because the account is real.
Do I have to write anything?
No. The agent reads your site, works out who buys from you, finds named people at named companies, verifies the addresses and writes one email per person. Your job is to read what it proposes and correct what you disagree with.
Is cold outreach like this compliant?
Every message carries an opt-out link, unsubscribes are suppressed immediately and permanently across every campaign, and we write business-to-business to named roles. We do not send to consumers.
