Myself, I run an AI consulting firm and, from noticing client needs, built a SaaS that helps new companies capture contacts, auto-nurture, and convert leads to customers. We’ve bootstrapped so far and now opening a pre-seed.
Proof: [X] paying clients, [Y]% increase in lead-to-sale, CAC payback in [N] weeks.
Use of funds ($[amount]): ship multi-tenant v1, add n8n/GHL native integrations, grow go-to-market.
Ideal investors: operator-angels or funds who like revenue-first, automation, SMB. Happy to share deck and a 5-min product Loom - DM for a link.
