O que Cardinal faz

Hey YC! We're Devi and Jianna - the founders of Cardinal. TL;DR: Cardinal is the AI platform for precision outbound. We run outbound for 40+ YC companies, like Mintlify, Greptile, and Luminai. The Problem “Spray and Pray” outbound is dead. The best teams at outbound do it with extreme precision. Finding things in common with your customers, staying in touch with them through their content, mapping inbound from signups and ads, tracking website visitors, monitoring various signals, etc. This sounds great in theory, but in reality involves stringing together 10+ tools and hiring a GTM engineer. That’s where Cardinal comes in. Cardinal is an AI platform for precision outbound. Our agents can create workflows that normally require the work of fulltime GTM engineers. If you're a founder or sales leader looking to bring AI into your sales org, would love to chat!

AI platform for precision outbound

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

We built Cardinal to replace the typical spray-and-pray outbound sales process. Our platform uses AI agents to automate workflows that normally require a full-time GTM engineer - like finding commonalities with prospects, tracking buyer signals, and orchestrating outreach based on multiple data points. It's designed for founders and sales leaders who want precise, data-driven outbound without juggling 10 tools or hiring extra staff.

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

We live in San Francisco, and we plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and where most of our customers and network are. It's the best place for us to build deep relationships with early users and access talent and investors.
