Managed Sales Email Delivery For Cold Outreach
We built a turn-key email outreach infrastructure that startups can plug into without changing their workflow. Lightmeter integrates with tools like Apollo and replaces Google and Microsoft for sending cold sales emails. It handles deliverability at scale, making sure emails land in inboxes while providing transparent performance reports.
We live in London, England, and the company would remain based here after YC.
London is where we've built our network and have access to early customers. It's a strong base for a B2B sales tool focused on startups and scale-ups.
