Slack wants the AI headlines without moving at AI speed. 79 days since they acknowledged our LeadMagic submission. Still unpublished. You can announce agents all day. If builders spend months waiting to reach customers, your bottleneck is the product. @SlackHQ, ship the ecosystem.

You can run the entire data-quality side of your outbound from 2 tools. LeadMagic now handles catch-all verification natively. Here is the consolidated stack we run: 1. Enrichment waterfall • Icypeas: first-pass email finder • Prospeo(.)io: second-pass, their new database pulls 55-60% more leads than the majors • BetterContact: aggregator of ~25 providers, picks up obscure domains • Findymail: final sweeps for everything the first 3 miss Icepeas and Prospeo serve as a cheaper alternative to pulling everything with BetterContacts. Findymail and Leadmagic are great providers that aren’t part of the BetterContacts waterfall, so we add them in afterwards. 2. Validation layer • First layer comes from the provider that finds the email. • LeadMagic: double-verifies every email, now handles catch-alls without a separate vendor • Weekly refresh cycle keeps the list fresh across the full campaign window 3. Bounce rate monitoring • Target: sub-1% bounce rate. (up to 3% is fine) • 90% of our campaigns sit below 1% with this setup • Any mailbox hitting 5% gets pulled into inbox-placement testing 4. Tool consolidation wins • One vendor for validation instead of two • One cleaner API layer across the stack • Weekly data refresh built into the pipeline • One weekly cadence check instead of ad-hoc validation sweeps Verifying once is no longer enough. Double verification + a weekly refresh is the deliverability standard we hold every client campaign to.

2020: Fired from Enterprise Sales. 2024: Agency Owner who couldn't write a single line of code. 2025: ↳ Small team, bootstrapped founder ↳ Multi-threaded architecture ↳ ~2,000 paying customers ↳ Billions of API calls/year Top 0.4% Cursor usage globally. 37B tokens. 38,000 agent sessions. AI didn't make me a developer. It made me a founder who can ship. How has AI changed the way you build your business?

We’re heavy @Stripe users (bootstrapped SaaS). Opened a Global Payout ticket that’s now at 7 days without a reply. Before I assume it’s an outlier. Global Payout is a new service for them and it worked well for a few transactions but this one really should've been a quick fix. Has anyone dealt with this or lack of response from their support team? What’s the most effective escalation path (specific queue, team, or channel) you’ve used for Global Payouts or similar? Thanks in advance for any playbooks or contacts. @stripesupport my DMs are open if anyone can help here.

Founders: find your perfect first champions. For Clay, it was agency owners like @jesseogtm and Jordan Crawford. "These were the right people who understood the vision, could use the product, had acute pain points." They didn't try to serve everyone at once.

Here's the wild thing about the @Rippling vs. @deel espionage lawsuit: I think this wasn’t just an employee snooping around Slack manually—this had all the hallmarks of a sophisticated API-driven spying system. The reasons below: 👇

4/Why This Matters: This suggests Deel's spying wasn't casual—it was likely a sophisticated operation using Slack’s APIs to systematically track competitive intelligence in real-time. SaaS firms, take note: secure your APIs.

What do you think—just a rogue employee, or an advanced espionage setup? I'd bet the latter.

We're announcing $40m in Series B expansion funding at a $1.25B valuation. Our last raise remains untouched, but our momentum — 6x revenue growth in '24 and 10x growth in both '22 and '23 — prompted our existing investors, led by @MeritechCapital, to double down on @Clay_gtm 🧵

AirTable has raised $1.35bn over 7 rounds of funding. The result? They still can't import a CSV larger than 5mb. 🤯

Replying to @NickAbraham12
Yep also saw some transactional emails getting flagged recently. It's not a perfect system and it's blocking a ton of real emails. Gotta keep innovating so we can all hit the primary. Pioneers like @jesseogtm and @NickAbraham12 leading the charge 😎

Scary times for Cold Email Agencies. I wonder when @alxberman is going to go live on the O365 situation. Just got off the phone with @NickAbraham12 and it looks like something is going on.

Here's one of the worst mistakes early founders make: Setting up tons of Calls with Early Prospects/Customers. You should never do this. It's a great way to waste your time on tons of calls with people you probably don't want as customers anyway. Let people use your product for free and see how they use it. Find the Rage Clicks. Find the Session Usage. You can get better through observation of your product. How people use it, how people interact with it. When they sign-in. When they get to your perceived a-ha moment. Your days are way better spent NOT on Zoom calls with people willing to get on calls with early founders. But getting on the call with every person who comes through your chat bot is a big waste of time. Let them come to your platform, use it and setup product analytics.

I'm thinking about downgrading my Zoom to get the timer back on it. Anyone else using this growth hack?
