Small Victory! 5 Waitlist Signups

Just here to brain dump a little. I feel like this was our best week yet since starting back in February. This was my first week actually reaching out to sales reps about RepBuddy. I reached out to about 37 reps in total on LinkedIn, had 15 conversations, and converted 5 to our waitlist. We also got some valuable testing done on a few different seller profiles this week.

We’re focusing a lot of attention on the prospecting engine. It isn't perfect, but it’s honestly exceeding my expectations for a V1. My co-founder and I have spent so much time talking about architecture, and now it’s finally starting to feel real.

Oh yeah, we also put in our application for the YC Summer 2026 batch. If you haven’t filled out the application before, I highly encourage it, even if you don't end up applying. The questions really help you gain clarity. Creating a founder video under a minute where both founders talk is great practice for cutting the fluff and focusing on what matters most. I also didn't expect how funny and awkward it can be talking on camera. What are y’all’s thoughts on YC? I'd also love to hear about any of your wins this week!

About RepBuddy.io (if anyone cares lol): A big issue I've noticed and experienced in outbound sales is that it takes multiple tools to gather enough data for real, personalized outreach. It's super expensive to stack all those tools, and it takes way too much time and effort. You might think, "Well, let me use Clay." I’ve heard it’s a great tool, but you basically need to be an engineer to figure it out. We don't have time for that. So, we end up saying, "F it, a generic message it is," and hope it sticks. Lol. We just don't have the time between prospecting, phone calls, and meetings.

So, what we're building is an all-in-one tool that adapts to your workflow. Think of it like Claude Code, but for SDRs and AEs. I expect every rep to use it differently because it handles whatever you need: prospecting, building lists, verifying emails (checking for bounces or catch-alls), conducting company research, and prepping for meetings. It's all customized to your specific seller profile, so the outreach and angles are always aligned with your best offering.

Plus, it's all in a conversational UI. It's just like talking to ChatGPT or Gemini, but it actually pulls real contact info.

We still need to test RepBuddy's prospecting engine a little more, so if anyone wants some free prospecting done, fill out this ICP form HERE. RepBuddy will gather the Name, Email, Position/Title, LinkedIn URL, Mobile (if available), and a custom outreach angle.

THANK YOU!
