There’s no SDR to hand the list to, and no room for an email that reads as generated. SimpleSend researches each account and drafts in your cadence, and nothing goes out until you launch it.
One row in → live research → a finished email out
Drafted from these findings
Arjun, you shipped the self-serve tier in August and the pricing page leads with it now. That usually makes support volume the constraint before revenue is.
We built for that exact transition. Happy to send the two-minute version if it’s useful.

To be exact: two of these connect directly. HubSpot lists import read-only, and Sales Navigator searches import through your connected LinkedIn account (LinkedIn add-on). Everything else here is a CSV hand-off, which is all SimpleSend needs. For a list of forty, copying a draft straight out of the app into Gmail is a perfectly reasonable way to send it.
There’s nobody to hand the list to, and prospecting competes with every other thing you’re the only person doing.
Your name is on it. Get it wrong and that company is closed to you — not for a quarter, for good. That risk is why most founders send nothing at all.
Per-seat pricing and onboarding calls assume a team. You have a list, an inbox, and about two hours.
The goal isn’t to automate the relationship. It’s to remove the repetitive work that happens before the conversation starts.
That spreadsheet of companies you’ve been meaning to email. Any shape of CSV — columns are detected and mapped, and duplicates and role inboxes are flagged before anything is spent.
No minimum list size
That’s the voice step, and it’s the one that matters most here. The brief holds what you sell, who it’s for, your CTA and your research targets; two or three real past emails is what makes the drafts sound like you wrote them.
The step that does the work
One real account, fully researched, the sequence drafted. If it doesn’t sound like you, change the brief and run it again — nothing else generates until you’re happy.
Read one, then ship all
Copy a draft straight into Gmail, export a CSV, or launch the sequence from SimpleSend’s warmed mailboxes when you want it to run on a schedule. Nothing sends until you launch it, which for founder-led outreach is exactly the point.

Hi Arjun, I’m the founder of a platform that helps SaaS companies scale support without scaling headcount. I thought it might be relevant for Fieldnote.
Open to a quick 15-minute intro call?
Arjun, you shipped the self-serve tier in August and the pricing page leads with it now.
In our experience that’s the point where support volume becomes the constraint before revenue does — self-serve users ask more questions and are worth less each, and the maths gets uncomfortable fast.
We built for that exact transition. Happy to send the two-minute version if it’s useful, or ignore this entirely if you’ve already solved it.
The second one earns a reply because it could only have been sent to one company. That’s the whole difference, and it comes from the research, not from better adjectives.
There’s no fixed list of signals to pick from. A campaign brief holds your own research targets — what to look for, and the branch to take when it turns up. These are the ones founders tend to start with.
What they shipped recently
If they launched something adjacent to what we do → open on the launch, not the product
The tools running their site
If they’re on a competitor → name it and offer the switch path
What the founder is posting about
If they’ve written about the problem → use their framing, not mine
Written once per campaign · reusable · you can add your own
A pricing page rebuilt around self-serve is a company that just changed who its customer is. Whatever broke next is the thing they’re thinking about this month, and it’s the only opening line that couldn’t have been sent to anyone else.
Open on the launch and what it usually does to support load. Offer the short version, and give them an easy way to say no.
Not a list you bought — the companies you’d be genuinely glad to work with, researched properly, in an evening.
The same research pointed at a fundraise list: each note anchored on what that fund has actually been backing, instead of a mass send with the deck attached.
Every step of a sequence drafts from the same research, so the second email has something new to say instead of floating the first one back to the top of the inbox.
An optional talk track turns the same research into a call card (why call now, an opener, discovery questions, likely objections, the next step) for when the reply says “sure, let’s talk.”
Keep the tools you already use at either end. SimpleSend does the research and drafting in the middle, then sends from its own warmed mailboxes or hands you the drafts. At forty contacts, copy-and-paste is a perfectly good last step.
Billed in credits, not seats, because there is one of you.
The trial runs 14 days, takes no card, and covers 375 credits, roughly 25–50 researched emails: a real first campaign rather than a walkthrough. After that, Individual is $50/mo for 4,000 credits (roughly 300–570 emails, Find Leads included). Unused monthly credits roll over for two months.
Individual is the right starting point for almost every solo founder. When you want SimpleSend to send the sequences from warmed inboxes too, add Email Sending ($49.99/mo) or move to Pro.
No. Credits are spent per email researched and drafted, so forty contacts costs about what forty contacts should. Small, deliberate lists are exactly the case this page is written for.
For ten prospects, yes. What SimpleSend adds is everything around the writing: holding your brief and research targets, running the research per row, keeping every claim traceable to something it found, applying one voice across a whole list, and then sending the sequence or handing back a CSV your sender can read. That’s the part that stops happening when you do it by hand two hundred times.
Yes, and it’s a good fit. It’s the same motion — research what the fund has recently been backing, draft a note anchored on it. The brief just describes a raise instead of a product.
The slow part is the brief, and most of that is deciding what you actually say. Beyond that it’s an upload, a sample to approve, and an export or a launch. If you’d rather see it work before creating an account, the public demo drafts one real prospect free in about forty seconds.
Only if you want it to be. SimpleSend researches every contact and drafts the whole sequence first. Then you pick a path: send it from SimpleSend, from warmed mailboxes on domains registered in your name, with schedules, daily caps, one reply inbox and unsubscribes handled (included on Pro and Teams; on Individual it’s the Email Sending add-on, $49.99/mo), or export a CSV to Smartlead, Instantly, Apollo, HubSpot, GoHighLevel or a Gmail mail-merge. Either way, send cold email from dedicated, authenticated domains, never your main one. Nothing sends until you launch it.
Paste one to three of your real past emails into the brief and drafts mirror that cadence, openers and sign-offs. A deterministic linter then strips the usual tells (em-dash pileups, “I hope this email finds you well,” leftover template tokens, length violations) before you ever see a draft. You can read and edit any of them before anything sends.
A fact-check pass rejects any claim that doesn’t trace back to a research finding, so nothing invented ships. If that strips the opener, a re-anchor pass writes an honest one from the findings that did land. Contacts that can’t be drafted honestly are skipped, and the batch report says why.
