If you're a solo founder, outreach can't be fully delegated. Going full-auto means burning your first potential users and missing out on genuine human connections. The only thing you can delegate is the research 🔍 Linky Scout — describe your ICP, Scout finds and scores leads using recent posts and comments ✉️ Linky Assistant — Chrome Extension that generates messages starting from what your leads actually wrote (posts, comments), not their job title Find the right person. Say the right thing.
Hey I'm David, the founder behind Linky.
The idea started from a simple observation: I tracked 200+ LinkedIn connection requests and found that messages referencing something the person said in the last 48 hours got accepted 71% of the time. Generic openers: 27%.
The core belief: outreach can't be fully delegated to a tool that blasts generic messages. The conversation has to sound like you. The only thing you can delegate is the research — and the angle.
Going full-auto means burning your first potential users and missing out on genuine human connections—the exact network that will back you up in the future.
That gap is what I've been building around for the past few months.
Linky is two products that work together (which you can buy together as a full suite or separately depending on your workflow):
🔍 Scout — describe your ICP in plain language, get back a ranked list of leads scored by AI based on their actual posts and comments, not just their job title. Inside Scout, you'll find:
New Search: to run your AI-powered ICP queries in plain English.
Search History: to keep track of and revisit all your past searches and criteria.
Saved Leads: your mini-CRM to manage, organize, and track every lead you want to target.
✉️ Assistant — a Chrome Extension that lives inside LinkedIn and generates outreach messages starting from what your leads actually wrote (post, comments...). When you open a LinkedIn conversation, LinkyAssistant already knows who you're talking to — not just their job title, but their recent posts, comments, and the context that makes a message land. Choose your approach and generate a message in one click: ✍️ Pain Point — targets a non-obvious problem for their role. Not the obvious one. The one they think is under control. 💬 Trigger — starts from something they actually wrote. A comment, a post, a take they shared publicly. Reworked into a natural opener, not a copy-paste. 🔍 Engage — pulls their recent LinkedIn activity via API and finds the most relevant angle between their world and yours.
Whether you need the full power of AI search + personalized extension, or just want to boost your manual workflow with one of the two tools, Linky scales with you.
Happy to answer any questions about the product, the stack, or the thinking behind it. And if you do your own outreach as a founder, I'd genuinely love to hear what's working for you. 👇
