how we get YC startups enterprise meetings (without wasting $15k/mo)
most founders spend 6 months writing code, then send cold emails & think that's what GTM means
but if not done properly, that usually results in low reply rates and zero pipeline
here is the exact 4-step playbook we've used for SF and YC startups:
1. stop scraping from databases
scraping 10k emails off Apollo means reaching out to people who aren't active or thinking about that problem.
instead, you gotta track real-time intent:
- companies hiring for that exact bottleneck
- founders complaining on X/LinkedIn
- active profile or website views
2. always score your leads
with leads, quantity != quality.
never enroll an unverified lead
that's why I've built an engine that filters prospects automatically (see video below)
if the score is under 60, they don't get outreach and nobody wastes time.
3. set up your multi-touch loop
traditional outbound sends 5 cold emails in 7 days.
but that just sends you to the spam folder
that's why I focus on Linkedin, where there's a multi-touch loop before any outbound:
- view profile
- like a relevant post
- personalized connection request
- contextual follow-up
this way, it feels like an organic peer conversation
4. proof it works
over the last 7 days running this exact engine for one SF team:
• 546 invites sent
• 356 new connections (68% connection rate)
• 98 qualified replies (↑227% over baseline)
• 38 enterprise demo meetings booked (↑245%)
we packaged this entire system into http://gigamultiplier.com.
