I posted a random thread on X about the cost of living in the Netherlands. Nothing about what we're building. Just genuine thoughts about life in the Netherlands.
It hit 1M+ impressions. And here's the weird part we got a ton of signups and paid users for Starnus from it. Without ever mentioning the product.
Meanwhile, my "here's what Starnus does" posts? Way less engagement.
This genuinely messed with my head. I'm sharing the actual X post below
Starnus? Sounds like the ultimate Battle Station for outbound sales:D Love the focus on lookalike prospects - it’s like having a Jedi mind trick for my ICP. Is there a limit on how many lookalikes I can generate per prompt?

@kostfast thanks! technically no, but it's recommended to limit the number of leads to be found to 100. You can find more details about the costs and numbers here too: https://starnus.com/pricing/

@lala_rukh we can extract tons of data per lead, and address personalized aspects in the copy writing process. So in summary the personalization is backed by a large amount of data
We are currently using Lemlist. How is this different?

Congrats on the launch! A strong tool for outbound and automation. More content/tools to assist with building the ICP would be helpful.

@shalini_umrao actually few others also requested if we can build a feature that can help with defining ICP, currently working on it

hey everyone 👋 i'm Ayda, co-founder of Starnus. while Khashayar built the tech, i've been on the other side actually doing the outbound, testing every tool out there, and honestly getting frustrated by how complicated and expensive they all are. that's what pushed us to build Starnus. we wanted something that just works without needing a sales ops degree to set up. would love to hear how you guys are currently handling outbound always looking to learn and make Starnus better!
@ayda_golahmadi Such a needed product. As a technical founder myself, outbound tooling has always felt overly complex for what should be simple.
Saw your LinkedIn post and had to check it out here. Excited to see what you’re building with Starnus.

@joey_calamari Really appreciate that. Outbound has been way more complicated than it needs to be. Thanks for coming over from LinkedIn 🙌
The ICP-first workflow is the right architecture. Most outreach tools start with a database and let you filter down — which sounds logical but actually encourages spray-and-pray behavior. Starting from "who exactly do we want" and then finding them is a fundamentally different mental model, and it tends to produce better messages because the targeting is tighter.
The 1.3B profile claim is worth probing — database size is easy to tout but freshness and accuracy matter more, especially for smaller companies where contact data turns over fast. Curious how Starnus handles bounce rates and outdated info in practice.
We're doing manual outreach right now for our own product launch — mostly targeting content creators rather than B2B leads, but the underlying challenge is identical: finding the right people, writing something that doesn't feel like a template, and following up without being annoying. The personalization layer is always the bottleneck. How much of the message customization is genuinely dynamic versus fill-in-the-blank tokens?
