We launched Causo for sales - because prospecting should not require 10 tabs and a mental breakdown

Hey everyone,

We just opened up Causo.ai for sales lead gen.

We originally built Causo for fundraising: help founders find the right investors, research why they fit, and write proper outreach instead of sending hope this finds you well slop to every VC with a pulse.

Then people kept asking us the same thing:

Got 272 founders to sign up. The hard part was everything after that

We got 272 founders to sign up for Causo after launch.

Nice number. Felt good for about 12 seconds.

Then we looked at the funnel properly and got humbled pretty fast.

253 created a company profile.
92 completed onboarding.
90 got matched with investors.
38 actually launched outreach.
18 became paying customers.

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:)
