How we kept community growth momentum one month from our PH top 5 launch

Hey PH folks,

It's been about a month since our PH launch and I still get asked for launch tips. That's cool, but our focus right now is on growing community and engagement. I've seen some founders say they struggled with a post-launch lull, so here is what worked and didn't work for us since launch:

Partnerships

Racoons are now making a gtm tool

Hey folks, we're currently rolling out Causo but for GTM: agents that understand your business, find companies you want to reach, get intel on the right people and write to them.
Yes there are many tools like this: vibe gtm, AI growth engineering, AI SDR, etc. I tried so many and my main gripes were:
-often it's oops just Apollo again
-requires 5 different tools stitched together to actually work
-dead leads, false positives, bad intel
Causo for GTM is a build out from our internal tool. If you've used any AI GTM or sales tools before I'd genuinely love to hear what worked, what didn't, what would you wish for.
Happy to reward folks with early access discounts when we onboard you:)

26 VC replies brought to you by raccoons & other Causo updates this week

Hey PH, we've been blown away by the response to our launch :) thought to share a quick update on what's happened since:
User success:
-we had a huge user spike: 250+ new companies are using Causo for fundraising since our PH launch
-we're seeing that many people join early, look around the investors database, then convert once they're ready to actively raise
-we saw users send out 400+ investor emails and get 26 replies; avg reply rate of 6.5%

New stuff:
-Ivan and I have drank SO much coffee, deepened our eyebag colour significantly, and shipped a bunch of stuff:
-one-click connect for Microsoft inboxes
-50+ new free resources for sales and GTM over at https://hub.causo.ai/
-bunch of UI fixes - thanks so much for everyone who had feedback, it was all so helpful!
-we're rolling out Causo for Sales in early access: tell Causo who you need to reach, Causo finds people and writes to them. Similar no nonsense AI raccoon stack, but now for b2b sales instead of VCs.
If that sounds interesting (who doesn't need more leads) drop us a shout, we're onboarding first companies selectively :)
Back soon with another raccoon update!
