By founder type, by motion.

Curated reading paths through the knowledge base, organized by the specific outbound problem you're trying to solve.

Use case · YC pre-PMF

Cold email for YC founders — the in-batch playbook.

You have 8-10 weeks left in batch and a half-validated ICP. Cold email is the cheapest way to test which version of your ICP actually converts. Done wrong, it burns your founder domain.

Use case · Dev tools

LinkedIn outreach for dev tools founders.

Engineering buyers don't read cold email — they read LinkedIn DMs from the right people. The problem: most dev tools founders torch one or two personal LinkedIn accounts learning this.

Use case · Conferences

Conference prep for B2B SaaS founders.

Most teams treat conferences as the event. The actual game is the four weeks before. Pre-event outreach is where the pipeline gets built — at 2-3x the reply rate of cold prospecting.

Use case · Pre-PMF

Design partners for pre-PMF founders.

If you're pre-PMF and B2B SaaS, the design partner motion is the highest-leverage GTM motion you can run. It compresses 18 months of customer discovery into 6 months and produces reference customers along the way.
