πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A platform that verifies and ranks founder contact information based on responsiveness to cold outreach.
  2. A template generator that uses AI to analyze a target founder's recent public posts to craft highly personalized, relevant outreach emails.
  3. A community-verified marketplace where founders can pay a small fee to have their cold email prioritized or introduced by a mutual contact.
