SEQUENCE A — Result First
Step 1 — Day 0
Subject: quick question about your portfolio
Hi {{first_name}},
One of our founders paid ₹5L, launched in 6 weeks, and hit 100 users —
where every agency they spoke to quoted ₹30–40L.
We're a startup launch partner — product, build, design, and GTM as one
embedded team. Part fee, part equity. We don't get paid well unless
the founder wins.
Do you need more context on how can we help any founder in your portfolio stuck between "idea ready" and
"too early to raise"

Hi {{first_name}},
Wanted to make sure this didn't get buried — do any founders in your
network need to ship an MVP before they can raise?
We launch in 4–6 weeks for ₹10L + equity. They keep runway,
we back the outcome.
Worth a quick call?

Step 3 — Day 9 | NOT OPENED
Subject: the ₹40L problem most pre-seed founders have
Hi {{first_name}},
Agencies charge ₹30–40L. AI tools save money but not time — and
neither gets a founder to their first 10 paying customers.
That's the actual problem. Not the build. The traction.
We do both — ship the product and get early customers — for ₹10L + equity.
Muskan Forever hit 100 users in 4 weeks.
Any founder in your portfolio at that stage?

Hi {{first_name}},
No worries — I know inboxes are brutal.
If a founder in your network ever needs a real launch team — not
an agency, not a freelancer — feel free to pass this along.
Good luck to the portfolio.

Hi {{first_name}},
Saw this landed — happy to give more context.
We embed as a founding team: product, build, design, GTM.
₹10L + equity — we only win if the founder wins.
15-minute call?

Step 6 — Day 7 | OPENED, NO REPLY
Subject: what "launch partner" actually means
Hi {{first_name}},
Most agencies hand over a repo and disappear. We don't.
We stay until there's traction:
→ Product — figure out what to build first so validation is fast
→ GTM — get the first customers, not just the first commit
→ Equity stake — we only win if the founder wins
₹10L + small equity. 4–6 weeks to launch.
Muskan Forever → 100 users in 4 weeks (₹5L).
Mark.ai → 100 paying users → closed seed.
If any of your founders are at this stage, I'd love an intro.

Hi {{first_name}},
Glad this caught your eye.
I can walk you through exactly how we work — what the equity structure
looks like, how we've done this before, and whether it fits anyone
in your portfolio.

SEQUENCE B — Problem First
Step 1 — Day 0
Subject: quick question about your portfolio
Hi {{first_name}},
The gap between "idea validated" and "seed-ready" is where most
pre-seed founders quietly die — burning ₹30–40L on agencies or
months on solo building before a single paying customer.
We close that gap. One embedded team — product, build, design, GTM —
for ₹10L + a small equity stake. Muskan Forever: 100 users in 4 weeks,
₹5L spent.
Any founder in your portfolio at that stage right now?
