Connect LinkedIn to your CRM for outreach automation

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a tool that connects LinkedIn to CRMs to automate and track LinkedIn outreach. Our product lets sales reps automate sequences and helps sales managers get clear analytics on outreach activity. It saves time and makes managing LinkedIn sales outreach more transparent.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Daniel is in San Francisco, Arjun works remotely. After YC, the company will be based in San Francisco with a remote-capable team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We split time between San Francisco and remote work now. SF is where most sales SaaS and VC activity happens, and we want to be at the center of that for YC and beyond.
