It's Monday morning and another batch of emails have been sent.

Numbers from the first week + today of outreach:
- 400+ Emails Sent
- 39% Opened
- .5% Reply Rate

Emails continue to roll out, but for the next 3 weeks, I'm focused on networking.

Am I looking to sell my product? No.

There's a million events per day on Luma.... Well at least it feels like it.

I attended several interesting invests including an a test/demo day where builders and testers connected.

Running our first cold email campaign for a B2B SaaS I'm building. One warm inbox, 10 emails/day to verified hotel GMs and Directors of Revenue.

After 60 emails the numbers are:

• 31% open rate

• 2% click rate

• 0% reply rate

Everyone tells me 0 replies at 60 emails is normal for B2B and I should wait until day 21 at 300 emails to diagnose. But the founder brain keeps asking "is the copy broken" every time I check the dashboard.

Clay and Apollo market their product extremely well and they are blasted all over LinkedIn and X.

I decided to try both out and Clay is definitely not easy to use. I've heard great things, but as a first time found beginning my lead generation and prospecting phase, there has to be easier tools. The learning curve felt steep to me.

Outreach emails have started to flow. As of today, over 70 emails have been sent with a 30% open rate thus far.

How does this compare with your outbound email rates?

Coming from a data science background with prior web experience, building my first web application has been a truly gratifying experience. Now I'm building the GTM stack using a host of APIs and integrations, but eventually plan to move everything to a dedicated MCP server with Pancake AI or similar.

If you're a non technical builder I would love to chat. Building from a non-software angle has taught me more in 4 months than I would have learned in 5 years of studying! Hands on Experience remains undefeated!

Does anyone use PostHog for their product analytics stack. Just started to use PostHog!
Building a backbone for my GTM stack and leveraging PostHog to better understand where my funnel falls off!

Emails are still getting warmed up for the first wave of cold reach.

Working on building community events through Luma to really engagement potential customers.

I think it is day 8?

Email continue to get warmed for cold outreach. Currently working on AI and SEO copy for my site. Building a marketing site on Lovable is great, but making it SEO friendly is a whole different story.

Alright everyone day 5! I think I have the perfect stack and automation process.

I'm building a full GTM team with AI Agents to handle most of the important things.

@Wispr Flow launched on Product Hunt back in 2024. Since then it has become one of those tools that quietly sticks. It's the AI dictation tool a bunch of us here use day to day (yes, there are still a few people committed to typing everything out). It works anywhere on your Mac or PC, so you can just talk and have clean text land wherever your cursor is.

For the next three days, it is showing up on the leaderboard in a different way. From April 14 to 16, you can upvote and comment on Product Hunt using Wispr Flow directly. If you use dictation, those upvotes and comments will carry a bit more weight. Try it out by clicking the Wispr Flow unit on the Leaderboard and telling it to upvote a product name

Trying to find and curate a leads list is tough. With so many tools out there, the noise is loud.

Instead of running through Clay or Apollo, I decide to build a Google Maps Scraper with their API and python.

Go to Market for B2B SAAS is not easy. Starting with cold out reach, I am currently trying a variety of tools to improve our cold outreach.
Here's what I'm planning to try or have tried

• Instantly

• Apollo

• Hunter.io

• Attio

• Gojiberry

• Lead Bay

• Lightfield

• Hubspot

What is everyone else using?

Building a proper GTM strategy is difficult with so many AI tools on the market.

CRMs alone have many options:

• Hubspot

• Attio

• Apollo

• Hunter.io

• Lightfield

This may sound dystopian, but ever since I watched all the Terminator movies, I can t help seeing the parallel:

People are becoming overly dependent on AI and feeling helpless without it. Almost as if AI slowly takes control of our lives.

Why is finding people who actually feel the pain so hard?

We're building Crunchy and we have a clear sense of who we're building for: marketers who spend more time wrestling with data than actually using it. But knowing your ICP and finding them are two very different things.
