About

I run Coldlytics, a sales intelligence platform for agencies that sell to local businesses. We find the owners, contacts and deep data on the Main Street businesses the big databases miss, and if we run out, our researchers build more for you in 24 hours. I'm here to swap notes on cold outreach, data, AI and growth, and to learn from people building cool stuff. Always happy to chat lead gen.

Are you even running paid ads?

I feel like most people on Product Hunt are too afraid to run paid ads.
Meanwhile, it's been one of the biggest drivers of growth at all the startups and projects I've worked on.
I'm super curious on what everyone's relationship is like with paid ads?
We've rebuilt Fastlane from the ground up to be the world's first end to end AI agent for paid ads, so would love to understand this especially!

💸 Do you track how much you spend on AI?

I opened our invoices this morning... and closed them right away hehe

Claude Max for the whole team, the API on top for our agents, a few other tools here and there...

When should a startup say no to its biggest customer?

A customer offers to pay for a feature. The money would help, but the feature only fits their workflow.

Saying yes could fund the next few months. It could also leave you maintaining a second product inside the first one.
