# Your buyer has been pitched forty AI tools this quarter. Yours is the one that actually works. > Hellofew for AI startups. Every buyer has had forty AI pitches this quarter and trusts none of them. Agents write to each person from what they actually said, and you read every note first. You built something real on top of a model — it saves an ops team a day a week, or reads contracts better than the junior who used to. The demo lands every time you get someone on a call. Getting someone on a call is the problem. Because every inbox your buyer owns is full of the same pitch: "AI-powered", "10x", "agents that". Much of it is written by AI, and it reads like it. If your outreach sounds like theirs, it is filed with theirs. The irony is sharp: the AI company is the one that most needs its outbound not to sound generated. Hellofew is agents doing outbound, and the whole design is about not sounding like it. Paste your product page; agents work out who to talk to, find them, read each profile and recent post, and write one note per person grounded in what that person said. Any phrase it quotes is checked against their own words. You approve every message before it goes, from your own account. ![A working week for AI startups: Eval run review, Pilot kickoff call, Investor coffee, Prompt regression fix — and outbound, moved or skipped 3 times.](https://hellofew.com/solutions/ai-startups/images/week.png) ## What actually goes wrong ### Your category is drowning in generated outreach The head of operations you want to reach deleted six AI pitches this morning. All six opened with a compliment about their "impressive background". Whatever you send next is judged against those, in about a second. **What happens instead:** Each note is written from the person's own profile and recent posts, not a template with a name merged in. Reposts are excluded, because thanking someone for an opinion they only forwarded is the fabrication people spot fastest. A draft too close to a recent one is thrown away and rewritten. ### A hallucinated compliment would end the conversation — and your credibility An AI company sending a note that misquotes the recipient is not an ordinary mistake. It is proof, delivered to the exact person you wanted to impress, that your product makes things up. **What happens instead:** Every quoted phrase is compared, character for character, against what the person actually wrote. If it cannot be found, the quotation marks are stripped and the draft is flagged to you, so you see the problem before anyone else does. It is a string check, not a second model asked to mark its own homework. ### Buyers want proof, and you are still finding your first ten Early on, every conversation teaches you something: which title actually owns the problem, which angle gets a reply. Blasting a list burns through exactly the people you would have learned the most from. **What happens instead:** Up to 25 people a day, each with a fit score you can take apart and the reason they were picked. Your skips and their replies are the signal. The ICP is a text box, not a black box — when a title is wrong, you change it, and the next queue follows. ### Moving fast is how accounts get restricted Fundraising momentum makes everything feel urgent, including a thousand invitations this week. Then the founder's profile — the one investors and hires check — gets restricted, right before the round. **What happens instead:** A ceiling of 20 invitations a day, reached over three weeks from 5. If acceptance falls, caps halve on their own; if it keeps falling, inviting stops and you are told. Nobody can promise an account will never be restricted, but these limits are published so you can check them. ## What your morning looks like instead One card per person: who they are, what the message was written from, and the message itself. Approve, skip, or edit. Nothing goes out that you have not read. ![An approval card: Hannah Okafor, VP of Customer Support at a 300-person e-commerce platform. Written from: Her post: "we trialled three AI support bots and every one confidently invented a refund policy". Draft: "Hannah — "confidently invented a refund policy" is the failure we designed around. Our agent only answers from your own help centre and hands off when it is not sure. If a short look would be useful, I'm happy to show you on your own tickets." With Approve, Skip and Edit buttons. An invented person.](https://hellofew.com/solutions/ai-startups/images/queue.png) *An illustration. The person is invented.* Typical titles the agents would look for: Head of Operations, VP of Customer Support, Director of Legal Operations, Head of AI, Chief Operating Officer, Head of Innovation. Yours are written from your own page, and you edit them. ## Your first month 1. Paste your product page and read the ICP it writes — free, no card. It is a good test of whether your page explains the value without the word "AI" doing all the work. 2. Subscribe at $49/month and connect LinkedIn. About a minute later, your first queue: up to 25 people, each with what the note was written from shown next to it. 3. Approve three and sending starts: 5 invitations a day, building over three weeks towards 20, weekdays only, inside your working hours. 4. One message to each person who accepts, one follow-up if they are quiet, and every reply in one inbox. Monday's digest tells you who replied — and why, if nobody did. ![Invitations per day over the first four weeks: a slow ramp that never crosses the daily ceiling, held under a rolling weekly ceiling, with nothing on weekends.](https://hellofew.com/solutions/ai-startups/images/ramp.png) ## Who this is wrong for If you are selling a consumer AI app, LinkedIn outbound is the wrong channel. If you want fully autonomous outreach with nobody reading the messages, this is deliberately not that — every note waits for your approval. And if you need email sequences alongside LinkedIn, buy a tool that does both; this is LinkedIn only. ## Questions **Isn't using AI to sell AI a bit on the nose?** Only if it reads like it. The point here is that each note is grounded in something the recipient actually said, quotes are verified against their words, and you read every message before it goes. It is AI doing the research and the first draft, with a human deciding. **Can I control how it describes my product?** Yes. It writes the ICP — positioning, value proposition, three angles and a sample note — from your page, and all of it is editable. If it overclaims, fix it there and every draft after follows. **Will it help us find design partners rather than customers?** It finds people who match the titles you give it and writes to them from your angles. If your angle is "we are looking for three teams to build this with", that is what the notes will say. ## Start Paste your page at https://hellofew.com/signup and read what it writes about your market — free, no card. $49/month when you connect LinkedIn. ## Related - [Technical founders of AI startups](https://hellofew.com/solutions/technical-founder-ai-startup.md) - [B2B SaaS](https://hellofew.com/solutions/b2b-saas.md) - [Technical founders](https://hellofew.com/solutions/technical-founders.md) - [Solo founders](https://hellofew.com/solutions/solo-founders.md)
