Coldreach
Find the best leads with custom intent signals
Coldreach finds who's ready to buy, by monitoring public signals relevant to what you sell. The best signals are different for every product. So we train AI sales agents to monitor custom signals that indicate who need your help (from job postings, websites, news, 10-k reports, and more). Sales teams can know who'd thank them for a cold email/call now, and sound relevant without hrs of manual research. Typically, targeted outreach yields 2-8x higher booking rate compared to random outreach. **Example intent signals we track**: - Bookkeeping automation product: Monitor who starts to hire human to manually enter invoices - Compliance product: Monitor who recently onboarded a new Compliance Analyst - CRM integrations: Monitor who starts to hire engineers experienced in Salesforce API.

Tl;dr

👪 Who is it for
Are your sales reps:
- spending a lot of time on prospect research and personalizing emails
OR
- not spending enough time on that?
Then Coldreach is for your team.
🧨 The Problem
Sales reps face a dilemma today: quality vs. quantity.
Take our friend Sam as an example. He is an SDR at a B2B company. He researches prospects thoroughly and personalizes every message. As a result, he gets a great reply rate, but he spends so much time on every prospect that he couldn’t reach out to a lot of people. To generate more pipelines, Sam tries to “spray and pray” a little bit - he created a sequence of templated emails and added 300 leads onto it, but got zero conversion.
Reps like Sam are forced to find a balance between quantity and quality, which often distinguishes the best-performing reps from the rest.
💡 Our solution
We automate prospect research and email personalization, allowing sales reps to have the best of both worlds and reach many more prospects with hyper-personalization.

Our AI answers your questions based on real-time data from different sources.
Import your prospect list, research prospects and quickly qualify/disqualify.

Hear from the founders
How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
The founders know each other since day 1 in college and collaborated on multiple projects. They built another startup around LLMs called EasyJobs together driving MAU to 20K in one and a half year. During that, they had extensive experience with NLP and outbound sales. Having written over 1000 personalized sales emails themselves, the founders know personalization is key to conversion, but takes too much time to be scalable. Thus, they decided to build Coldreach to generate personalized sales emails at scale.
