01
You are a stranger
Nobody answers a request from someone they have never heard of. The message is about you, not them.
TORONTO / WARM OUTREACH / GTM ENGINEERING
Everybody is asking.
Almost nobody is offering.
Customers, capital, partners. Every founder needs all three, and every one of them starts with an ask. AI just made asking free, so every inbox you need is full of the same email, written by the same model. That is the problem. We do the opposite: we invite.

the longer storyThe trap
None of them are about your company. They are what happens when a stranger asks a stranger for something.
01
Nobody answers a request from someone they have never heard of. The message is about you, not them.
02
Every inbox is full of the same ask, and now a machine writes most of them. Yours looks like all of them.
03
A new address gets treated like junk until it earns trust, and that takes weeks, not days.
04
Send too much to the wrong people once and the whole company's email goes to junk for months.
05
You asked for the time, so the room already knows who owes whom.
The turn
Cold email plus a warm invitation is warm outreach, and warm outreach is what we do. The channel does not change. The posture does. Every reply lands in one place: your inbox.
An ask
An offer
How I think
AI is taking us to a world of hyper-human connection. The machine does everything that was never human about selling, so the conversation is all that is left, and the conversation is the whole game.
Sales and marketing are collapsing into one motion. Earn attention, then have the conversation. The show is the first half. The inbox is the second.
Stop asking. Start giving. An invitation opens doors an ask never will. That is the whole method, and it is the same method the show runs on.
GTM engineering
Not a VA with a spreadsheet. An engineered system, built once and run every day, that puts you in front of investors, customers and partners.
Warmed for weeks before the first send.
Built and verified, every address checked.
Written, tested, rewritten.
One day, then three, then five, never a zero-day step.
A warm invitation inside a cold channel.
Every reply from every channel lands in yours.
Warm outreach, engineered.
In front of investors RaasRocket A fundraising process that runs on infrastructure, not hope.
In front of customers GTM Ventures Verified lists, warmed domains, tested copy, sequences that run, and a seat on the show for the people who fit.
In front of partners PodPire The introductions that only happen after someone has heard you tell it.

Best cold list: California founders, 1.87% on 3,156 sent. Best single week of that list: 4.61%.
Cold is under one percent even when it is done right. Warm is under four. The posture and the list are the whole game.

This is what the machine puts on the calendar. If you had this many shots on goal, how would you do?
The show
Daily conversations with founders building what comes next. Twenty minutes on your work, your decisions and the thing you are proud of, in front of an audience of investors, operators and other founders.
The show is free. Nobody pays to be a guest and nobody can buy their way on. Guests are chosen for the story, and coming on never obliges you to anything else on this page.
This week on the show
The offer
GTM engineering, done for you.
This is the paid service. It is separate from the show, it is never a condition of being a guest, and most guests never buy it. Every engagement is a three-month, done-for-you build on the audiences you choose. You approve the messaging and own every relationship. We run the machine.
One engine. Three sizes.
One ICP
$15,000
three months, paid once
about $5,000 a month
Two ICPs
$30,000
three months, paid once
about $10,000 a month
everything in Ignition, on two audiences, two lists, two sets of copy, plus two working sessions a week
Three ICPs
$45,000
three months, paid once
about $15,000 a month
everything in Ignition, on three audiences, plus three working sessions a week
Each number is the total for a three-month engagement on the agreed audience. It is paid once. It is not a retainer, a subscription or a monthly fee. It is a done-for-you service: we build the infrastructure, the list and the copy, run the sequences and read the replies with you. You approve the messaging and own every relationship.
