Every figure on this site is a count of work we have done. Pipeline and closed revenue are our clients’ results, and results vary. Replies are shown as they arrived, with senders blurred at source.

That's one of the better outreach emails I have received George. Well done and you caught my interest.

I don't normally even see — much less reply to — cold outreach emails but your message is on point.

We trained a model on 4,000,000 cold emails. It learned what gets answered.

Six builds

The engine is six machines.
Each one gets built for you.

    The engine

    A model trained on four million sent emails learned the science of cold email. Subject, length, the right ask per persona. It writes with it.

    • Every lead researched
    • 6+ variables, plus a discard list
    • 4,000,000 email corpus
    • A person approves
    Open
  • 01

    Deliverability

    We build the sending stack rather than rent it. Mailboxes, custom SMTP and our own sending servers, sized to your volume.

    • Mailboxes we build and warm
    • Custom SMTP

    Intent signalling

    An engine built around your ICP that watches for the moment a company becomes worth contacting.

    • Job changes
    • Funding and PR
    • Tech stack changes
    • Events and filings

    Method

    Define the ICPs. Write many variants per ICP. Measure on reply, meeting and close rate. Scale only the one that wins.

    • ICPs first, always
    • Angles tested against each other
    • Reply, meeting, close
    • Volume behind the winner

    Automations

    What happens the second a reply lands. Interested leads reach your CRM and your team without anyone copying anything.

    • Interested leads to CRM
    • Slack with the thread

Don’t take the model’s word for it. Use it.

FREE TOOL

Grade my cold email

Paste the email you are about to send. The rule-set from 4,000,000 sends scores it and names exactly what would get it deleted. Nothing stored.

THE PLAYBOOK

What the corpus taught us

The rules our own sending supports, with evidence marked as evidence: the ask, the subject line, the sequence, the follow-up, the ICP, the infrastructure.

Start

Send us the sequence
you are running.

We come back with a read on the message, the personas we would split it into, and the first angles we would test. No call needed for that.

Read by one person. Never enters the corpus.

We reply the same working day.

The artifact

This is what lands in your inbox.

A read is a written teardown, not a pitch. The sequence below is a composite we built for this page; yours gets the same treatment, on the same working day.

THE SEQUENCE, AS SENT

SUBJECT: Quick question about {{company}} outbound

Hi {{firstName}} — noticed you just raised your Series A, congrats! Our AI-powered platform leverages cutting-edge machine learning to craft hyper-personalized emails at scale. We’ve helped hundreds of companies 3x their pipeline in 90 days. Would you be open to a quick 15-minute call next week? I promise it will be worth your time.

THE READ

KEEP

“Noticed you just raised” is the only researched fact in the email. The instinct is right. The congratulations is not — every other sender that week opened with it.

CUT

“our AI-powered platform leverages cutting-edge machine learning” The reader builds AI products. To them this is wallpaper, and wallpaper reads as template.

CUT

“would you be open to a quick 15-minute call next week?” The ask costs more than the email earned. First touch earns a reply, not a meeting.

CUT

“I promise it will be worth your time” A promise is not evidence. Cut it and the sentence above it gets stronger.

CUT

“we've helped hundreds of companies 3x their pipeline” Unverifiable claims price the whole email. One named, checkable fact beats three round numbers.

THE SPLIT

This is one email trying to reach two different people. The technical founder who signs cares that the machine is inspectable. The sales lead who evaluates cares whose pipeline it filled. Two personas, two sequences, different first lines — never one email straddling both.

FIRST ANGLES

Angle one: the specific thing that changes after a raise (headcount plan meets an empty pipeline). Angle two: name the tool they already tried and where it stalls. Both run as variants against each other, and reply rate decides — not us.

WHAT WE MEASURE

Every variant reports reply, meeting and close, per persona. Losers get cut with the reason stated. The winner earns volume. You see the same board we do.
