One of the more interesting things we have learned while building Causo is that people ask for automation, but what they really want is productivity. Those sound like the same thing but actually aren't.
Ask someone what they want from an AI sales tool and the answer is usually:
Just find the leads, write the emails and run the outreach for me.
But the moment the tool actually tries to do that, the questions start: where did this company come from; why does it match my ICP, is this person still working there; where did you find this information; can I change the email; has anything been sent yet?
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.
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:
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!
I m a maker getting ready for a smaller launch on Product Hunt (indie tool, no big audience, no paid push) and I d love to hear from people who ve already done something similar.
I ve gone through the forum guidelines and I m trying to keep this community focused rather than posting a promo or please upvote type of thread.
90% of startups die from no money, not bad products. Causo's AI agents find matching investors and email them for you while you ship.
Upload your deck or website, get matched with specific partners at relevant VC funds, send your pitch. All on autopilot.
Let our raccoons do the work while you ship product and talk to customers.
Folks, thank you so much for your support today - we're at number 5, ahead of huge companies like Notion and Meta :oo never expected this! Every bit of support from you will count to hold the spot and aim higher. Thank you infinitely for your upvotes and comments today! https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
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:)
