What Meticulate does

Meticulate is an AI-native sales platform. We make it easy for sales teams to send stellar outbound messaging at scale. Instead of using boilerplate campaigns, Meticulate codifies your rules and strategies (e.g. “CFOs want to hear an ROI calc upfront”) and combines them with deep research to send custom sequences to every lead. We’re serving leading GTM teams today (incl OpenAI, Noda, ThreeKit), and are backed by leading AI investors: Y Combinator, Link, Cervin Ventures.

Easy AI-powered outbound sales for B2B teams

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

We built an AI-native platform for B2B sales teams to create and send outbound messaging that actually works. Unlike generic mass campaigns, Meticulate codifies each team's specific rules and strategies, like how CFOs prefer ROI calculations up front. It pairs these with deep research on every lead to generate customized, high-impact sequences at scale.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where most of our customers and investors are located. Being here helps us stay close to the B2B SaaS and AI ecosystems relevant to our product.
