We are raising $150K to fund 12 months of AI-optimized go-to-market at a sub-$5K/mo non-payroll burn.

  • Raise: $150K
  • 12 months of funded go-to-market runway
  • Sub-$5K/mo non-payroll burn — capital-efficient by design
  • Goal: reach ~13 customers (cash-flow breakeven)
  • AI-optimized outbound: high-volume prospecting at near-zero variable cost
  • Use of funds: GTM execution, not hiring or overhead

Questions investors ask

Why $150K and not more?
At sub-$5K/mo non-payroll burn, $150K covers 12+ months of go-to-market runway without requiring a large team or paid acquisition spend. We reach cash-flow breakeven at ~13 customers — a number achievable well within that window given our current pipeline depth and AI-enabled outbound capacity. A larger raise would require deploying capital faster than our current GTM motion can absorb it productively.
What does the AI-optimized go-to-market actually look like?
Our outbound stack uses AI-assisted prospecting to work through the 2,300+ sourced leads and the 660K-manufacturer TAM at scale: automated ICP scoring, personalized outreach sequencing, and rep-assisted qualification through 10 Forward (our internal sales CMS). This lets us run a high-volume, high-fidelity pipeline at a fraction of the cost of a traditional SDR team — which is how we hold to sub-$5K/mo non-payroll burn while still driving meaningful pipeline velocity.
What milestones does this round fund to?
The $150K raise funds us to cash-flow breakeven (~13 customers) and, we project, to a pipeline large enough to raise a larger growth round on demonstrably better metrics. Key milestones: (1) convert 10 more customers from the existing qualified pipeline, (2) validate the AI-outbound CAC model with real conversion data, (3) publish retention and expansion metrics across a meaningful customer base. Those three data points materially de-risk the next round.
