We've wanted something like this for a while. Well done. A few areas of concerns:
1. How does it send out emails? Directly through SMTP or through your server?
2. How does the system identify opportunities?
3. What do you think of a desktop version?

1. Pitchbox has a fully functional email client that connects to your existing email infrastructure via IMAP and SMTP. The emails you send through Pitchbox go through your own email address and appear in your Sent folder. It plays well with Google Apps or any SMTP/IMAP server you might have.
2. We identify opportunities in real-time based on the keywords you select and the filters and parameters you set. We gather data from publicly available and third-party API sources.
3. I’m afraid a desktop version of Pitchbox isn’t on our roadmap right now.

@geneles Hi Michael met you (or your team) a year ago at the Launch conference, liked your product, but couldn't for the life of me find you guys again on google etc (lost your biz card!) I recommend other influencer outreach software all the time buzzstream etc - any chance you could hook us up with a promo code for me to pass onto investee companies I work with and the startups in Australia's top Startup accelerator - Startmate?

Where can I find an iPhone 7?Intriguing concept. This is the product I've wanted, when I've wanted an influencer outreach product (vs. other products that allow you to pay bloggers to blog about you, for example, which has pros and cons). I'd have to play with it to know how much I actually like the email automation, because it can be a double-edged sword, but I like what I see so far.
I've been fascinated by this general topic ever since the days at Disqus when we started surfacing the overall Disqus network itself, showing how many amazing communities there are that you wouldn't otherwise discover simply due to the vastness of the Web. I think there's a lot of minds to be captured (and money to be made ;) by someone who can make sense of the influencer landscape.

@thetylerhayes We understand email automation can be a double-edged sword. That’s why we’ve taken precautions to ensure our platform doesn’t send out unintended emails.
Pitchbox is a complete email client (IMAP/SMTP), so it will know if/when you get a reply from a prospect. Automated follow-up emails only go out to those who don’t respond to your previous email, and you can set the interval between each attempt. Along those same lines, if Pitchbox can’t match a contact to a specific opportunity, Pitchbox will halt follow-up activity until you resolve the mismatch. You have full control over email automation in Pitchbox. You can also choose between semi- and full automation.

DesignerConfessionsReally great and well thought out product! I must agree with @GuyGal about the length of the trial. I think a potential customer of Pitchbox will need more time to see the true value. So I'm looking forward to seeing what it is you guys will be releasing in the next few weeks.

Michael what framework did you use for your guided tutorials?

CyberGhost VPNThat looks great. It's looks like BuzzStream on steroids.
