MVP

These are candidate features, not a requirement to build everything. Select the smallest workflow that tests value and explicitly defer the rest.

1Define an ICP filter and pull a weekly list of niche leads from public sources the founder already trusts.

2Enrich each lead with a short personalization angle so outreach is not a blank template.

3Export CSV or push to a simple sequence queue without forcing a full CRM migration.

4Track reply and booked-call outcomes so the founder knows which ICP filters actually convert.

5Save winning filters as reusable playbooks for the next campaign.

Monetization

Usage-based credits on top of a light monthly seat so heavy outbound weeks scale cost with value.

Free tier

25 enriched leads/month with CSV export only.

Paid tier

Higher credit packs, sequence queue, and reply tracking dashboards.

Price

$29/mo + credits

Upsell path

1Bulk credit packs for launch weeks

2CRM push integrations for founders who already live in HubSpot or Notion
