... ever done outbound yourself, you probably know the pain. You either hire an SDR, or you spend hours every day finding prospects, researching them, and rewriting basically the same email over and over. That s what pushed me to build DeepReachAI . It researches a lead, looks for actual context around them, and turns that into a personalized message instead of another generic AI-generated email. Right now, you can click on a LinkedIn profile and get a personalized email ... ... Also working on something called Orio (Voice agent), which takes this a step further. You give it an instruction, and it can find leads, research them, reach out, and even make calls to book meetings. If you're doing outbound

... test a simple thesis: Can an arcade-style bidding board deliver more active, recurring eyeballs to early-stage startups than static directory listings? We just crossed our first revenue and traffic milestone: $101 in platform volume processed 80 direct outbound clicks driven to listed products 12 active startup listings secured 363 unique launch visitors What stood out from the first 150 hours: 1. Founders want active control over placement. Instead of submitting a link and hoping an algorithm surfaces ...

... Outbound sales feels harder than ever. Cold email open rates are dropping, response rates are down, and manually finding good leads takes hours. We are looking into deploying AI agents to handle the top-of-funnel work identifying accounts, enriching prospect data, and writing personalized cold outreach. For teams actually running AI sales agents for outbound

... project built to explore dynamic visibility for early projects: RankHeist. Instead of static listing tables, it runs dynamic daily leaderboards that lock every midnight UTC.

... middle. The system intercepts the signal, but automatically checks company headcount, tech stack, and deal size fit before the lead ever hits the CRM. For the founders, growth marketers, and RevOps folks here: When you run signal-based outbound for your own startups, how do you handle the filtering? Do you rely on manual research to qualify these signals, or have you found tools to automate that middle step? Would love to hear how you structure your own outbound

... Every outbound tool now claims it can write emails that sound handwritten. Scrape a LinkedIn profile, pull recent posts, mention a specific detail, and the email reads like a real person spent five minutes on it. Reply rates on individual campaigns can look great for a while. But inboxes across the internet are filling up with the exact same pattern of "I saw you posted about X" openers, and spam filters are getting better at catching bulk sends that mimic ... ... spam filters and to prospects who've seen the pattern before. It feels like the more "personal" outreach becomes at scale, the less it actually reads as personal to the person receiving it. For founders and marketers who run outbound

... been thinking about a problem that probably hits a lot of early B2B SaaS teams. Outbound is useful early because you control who you speak with and learn quickly from objections. But it also creates a dependency: stop reaching out, and the pipeline can slow down. We re now comparing that with partnerships and referrals. The trade-off I see: Outbound

... certain is where people draw the line between helpful automation and uncomfortable delegation. For example: - Is it enough for the agent to say it is an AI assistant, or should it name the exact scope of authority? - Should every outbound action require a visible confirmation, or only irreversible ones? - What counts as a meaningful disclosure for call summaries, transcripts, CRM updates, or follow-up texts? - If the agent makes a mistake, what is the fairest repair path for the person ... ... builders and operators think about the disclosure boundary here, especially in voice workflows where trust can disappear fast. Comment from Anuj(@getosmo): I like the repair-path framing. The only nuance I would add is that confirmation on every outbound

... Most small agencies don t have a bad offer. They have an inconsistent pipeline. One week they manually search for prospects. The next week they are busy delivering client work. Outbound stops, follow-ups get forgotten, and revenue becomes unpredictable. We built Sumora to solve this. You give it your website and ideal customer. Sumora then helps you: Find relevant prospects matching your ICP Identify hiring, growth, content and other buying signals Draft personalized LinkedIn, Instagram and email outreach Organize ... ... review replies Give you a free 7-day trial No setup fee.

... agency (Appfoster), managing outreach for both ourselves and our clients. At one point, a single outbound campaign meant paying for  five different tools : LinkedIn outreach Cold email Email warmup Content creation & scheduling CRM Every tool solved one problem, but none of them really worked together. The result? We spent an unreasonable amount of time exporting CSVs, switching tabs, updating contact statuses, and figuring out where the latest conversation actually happened. The breaking point wasn't a single ...

Today, we launched Sumora on Product Hunt.

... there's no shared webhooks folder they both sit under. so the glob fix doesn't even apply to the three i have today, they were never colocated in the first place. which proves your enumeration vs property point before i even get to a fourth provider. the property i actually care about isn't "is this file in the webhooks directory," it's "does this handler get called by an external party with money attached to the payload ... ... through. So reach may need a second dimension: not just how many people find out, but whether any of them are people you have no way to reach afterwards. Our version of the destination check: the truth of an outbound

... trust problem. People want to remove the repetitive work. They do not necessarily want to hand over the decisions that can damage their reputation. I think a lot of AI products are automating the wrong part. In outbound, pressing send is the easiest part. The actual work is: figuring out which companies are genuinely relevant, researching what is happening inside them, finding the right person, verifying that the contact information is real, understanding why they might care right now, writing ... ... Founders take a slower, honest answer over a fast one they can't verify. Comment from Nipun Taneja(@nipuntaneja): This is the right distinction. Most users don t want full autonomy first. They want better prepared decisions. In outbound

... community! Just hunted Leadping , an AI-powered sales engagement platform that automates outbound across email, SMS, and business calling, with built-in follow-up sequencing. It's already got a live API and a published SDK, so it plugs straight into existing sales stacks rather than being another standalone tool. Would love for you to check it out and share your thoughts, especially curious what folks think about AI handling SMS/calling outreach vs

... media, and more) with standing responsibilities and a quality bar, so trust can accumulate in a role over time instead of being re-explained every session. Oversight tiered by consequence. Reversible, low-cost actions just flow; sensitive ones (payments, outbound messages, public posts) escalate to you for approval. The goal is that the only things reaching you are the things that genuinely need a human. Hard money and authority controls. Per-task budgets that cap and stop, per-staff usage ... ... each time. Money and anything touching production are the other two, but the byline one is the one I'd never soften, because a bad deploy is revertible and a bad sentence in my voice isn't. On manager vs

Basically: getting first users, founder-led sales, outbound, positioning, figuring out who actually cares, and all the painful stuff that sounds obvious until you are the one trying to do it. The format is simple: founders talking to founders. No webinar. No sales guru energy. No I scaled ... ... working, and hopefully helping each other avoid a few dumb mistakes.

... approve/edit before anything goes out works from your inbox Why I think it is better: It starts from the actual sales angle, not from give me 500 marketing managers in SaaS. That matters because the hard part of outbound is usually not sending the email. It is knowing who is actually worth emailing and what the hell to say to them. Would love feedback from founders, sales people, agencies, and anyone doing outbound

... This is the exact advice I d give someone who asked, How do we actually find and close our next 100 customers without burning out or wasting budget? 1.
