I’m building a startup in the B2B email service provider space and am looking for a technical co-founder (or two). Here’s who I am, where I’m at, and what I’m looking for.
The Team
I have over 10 years experience in B2B SaaS in various roles in product and revenue. Recently, I was a key contributor as the first non-founder hire at an early-stage startup, leading product and revenue, and helping take the company to a ~$20 million exit.
I strive to be a decent and kind human who is passionate about delivering quality work, but doesn’t let it define my identity or compromise my character.
The Opportunity
I’m building an email service provider focused on B2B cold emails. The Ideal Customer Profile centers on small businesses, solopreneurs, and startups.
There are transactional email providers, and email providers that focus on business customers, but there aren’t any established email service providers focused on B2B cold emails.
I don’t see this as a hyper-growth startup that will sell for $100 million. However, the range of outcomes vary from a lifestyle business that is doing $500k ARR and will sell for $3 million, to a business doing $5 million ARR that will sell for $30 million (based on average historical B2B SaaS EV / Revenue multiples). The base case, which I’d be happy with, wouldn’t require an extensive buildout of a user-facing webmail frontend. The upside case probably would.
