10 Direct Sales Leads in 1 Day — Here’s the Exact Campaign
No ads. No webinars. Just 1 smart cold email to Antler founders.

Yesterday, I emailed a small batch of ex-Antler founders.
By the end of the day?
10 direct sales leads.
Not just replies. Not just curiosity.
Real: “How does this work?” type of messages.
💥 Why It Worked:
🎯 Targeted List: Founders from Antler cohorts — already vetted, already building
✍️ Simple Offer: No decks, no fluff. Just “Want 8–15 meetings/month from your ICP?”
🤖 Minimal AI help: Used GPT to structure. Edited for tone.
🔥 Inbox Infra: 30+ mailboxes. Fully warmed. All emails landed clean.
👇 What You Can Steal:
Send smaller, sharper campaigns
Filter for trust-based segments (funded, exited, operator)
Use AI for drafts, but human for punch
Forget “let’s explore”—pitch outcomes
Want the list of Antler founders + the cold email I used?
👉 Just reply with “Antler GTM” and I’ll send you the full setup.
