PumpGTM guides
Field notes and practical guides to finding buyers, writing useful messages, and turning conversations into sales.
How to send cakes to prospects automatically (a physical GTM walkthrough)
Physical GTM means sending a real gift, like a cake, as one step of your outbound. Here's the full flow in PumpGTM: upload a photo, preview it on a 3D cake, edit it with AI, and order delivery to your prospect's office.
Introducing Signals: buyer activity for your sales agent
The PumpGTM Signals API and MCP bring buyer and company activity into your workflows. Hiring is available first; Reddit, funding, and more are coming.
Social listening on LinkedIn is backwards. Start from a list.
Keyword listening drags back dead posts from people who aren't your buyers. The version that works is boring: pick the accounts your market already reads, hear about every post the minute it lands, and be the first useful comment instead of the tenth.
Follow a LinkedIn profile and reach its new post engagers
Set up one play for a LinkedIn profile. PumpGTM checks its latest posts and adds new reactors and commenters to your outreach sequence.
I'm sending cakes to 10 dev tool companies (and how to add a cake to any outbound sequence)
Physical GTM means sending a real gift as one step of your outbound. I picked the 10 dev tool companies I most want as customers, and each is getting emails, LinkedIn messages and a cake with their name on it. Here's how the cake step works in a PumpGTM sequence.
PumpGTM people data: build the context behind your next customer
Professional profiles, work emails, and observed social connections through one API or MCP call. Start with our YC founder and investor datasets, then build on the data with Energy.
The AI multi-channel outbound playbook (how 25 YC companies run GTM in 2026)
The complete outbound playbook the YC companies we work with run in 2026: drive the whole thing from your AI (MCP), reach every buyer across LinkedIn, email and X, and iterate on the data every week. With the short videos that show each piece.
Your first sales hire in 2026: a human SDR, or an AI SDR?
Most founders hire their first SDR before they've proven a repeatable message. Here's the real cost of that hire, when it pays off, and when an AI SDR is the better first move.
How I got 25 YC-backed customers in 4 weeks with PumpGTM
The exact system behind 25 Y Combinator-backed customers in four weeks: a free list of 11,000 YC founders, reaching each one across LinkedIn, X and email, an AI that starts the conversations while you sleep, and every touch tracked so you can iterate.
What is an AI SDR? A plain explanation for founders
An AI SDR does the sales development rep's daily job in software: find buyers showing intent, write and send the first message, and surface the replies that matter. Here's what it is, what it can't do, and how to tell a real one from a glorified mail-merge.
