For B2B SaaS teams where the founder still sells
Who to contact today, and why.

- Nothing sends without your approval
- From your own Gmail or Outlook

64 words
before your first AE starts
Saw the founding AE role you posted last week. When the founder still owns pipeline, a new AE often starts with an empty calendar. Every morning I get a short list of who to contact and why, plus a draft. Worth 20 minutes before they start?
Signals it watches for
- First Account Executive role posted
- Seed or Series A announced
- New Head of Sales started
- Job post names a tool you replace
- Opening an office in a new market
- First SDR role posted
- Founder writing about pipeline
- New VP of Revenue
How it works
A short review with your coffee, instead of a morning of research.
- 1
Describe who you sell to, in plain words
Tellvale turns it into criteria you can read and change: the companies, the moments that matter, the people who buy, and who to leave out. Your customers and open deals are never suggested.
- 2
It watches your market overnight
New job posts, funding, leadership changes and more. Every candidate is checked against your criteria, and most are skipped.
- 3
You get only the accounts with a real reason
Each one has the right person, why now, and a dated source you can open. A quiet day shows three strong accounts, not ten padded ones.
- 4
Approve, edit or skip, then send from your inbox
Drafts follow your own writing rules and examples. Change a line for this email only, or tell it to do that from now on. Follow-ups stop the moment anyone at that company replies.

Founder-led sales with fresh budget. They may be weighing a first hire against doing more themselves.

How it compares
The middle path between doing it all yourself and handing it all away.
| Question | Database + AI chat, yourself | AI SDR or agency | Tellvale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who picks the accounts | You, from search filters | The vendor | Tellvale, from fresh signals. You approve. |
| Why this account, now | You research it | Often generic | A dated source you can open |
| Who sends | You | The vendor, from their domains | You, from your own inbox |
| Volume | Whatever you push | High | Personal: about 20–50 a day |
| Your time each morning | Hours of research | Little, with little control | A short review |
| Price | Low, plus your time | Typically $3,000+ a month | $499 a month per team |
Who it’s for
Made for teams where the founder still sells.
You’re good once you’re in the room. The hard part is knowing who to talk to next, and finding the time to write to them. Often it gets harder right after you hire your first AE, who needs meetings from week one.
A good fit if
- You sell B2B software to US companies
- You have 10 to 100 people
- Your deals are worth $20k or more a year
- The founder still sells, or you have 1 to 3 reps and no SDR team
- Someone owns a pipeline target they have to fill themselves
Probably not a fit if
- You want thousands of emails a day
- You want someone else to run your outreach
- Most of your buyers are outside the US, for now

Is it worth it?
It pays for itself if it saves you about 20 minutes a workday, or brings one extra qualified meeting a month.
With deals of $20k or more a year, one extra deal covers it many times over. We’ll measure both with you in the first month.
How the first month works
- 01
A call first
A short call about how you sell today and who you sell to.
- 02
Setup in week one
We describe your ideal customer together, add a few emails you’re proud of, and your morning list starts.
- 03
Measured together
What you sent, what you skipped and why, the time each account took, and the replies and meetings that came from it.
- 04
You decide on the numbers
Continue month to month, or stop. No contract.
You approve every email
Nothing goes out on its own. You read it, change it or skip it.
Your own inbox, at a personal volume
Sent from your real address, or a second domain you own, a few dozen a day. No blasts.
Opt-outs are honored for good
Anyone who asks not to be contacted goes on a suppression list and stays there.

FAQ
Questions
How does the waitlist work?
Join it and we’ll tell you when your spot opens; we let teams in gradually, starting with those who fit best. If you want more, you can also ask to be one of up to 10 design partners: the morning list first, a direct line to the people building it and a real say in how it works, in return for honest weekly feedback. Design partners are on the paid plan at the normal price, locked for 12 months.
Does Tellvale send emails for me?
No. You approve every message, and it goes out from your own Gmail or Outlook, or from your own Instantly or Smartlead account if you already use one.
How many accounts will I get each day?
Up to about 10, and only as many as have a strong reason that day. Some mornings that’s three. We’d rather show you three good ones than ten you have to wade through.
Where do the signals and contacts come from?
Signals come from public sources such as job posts, funding filings and company news, and every one is linked so you can check it. Contact details come from established B2B data providers. Both are included in the price.
Do you charge per contact or use credits?
No. One flat price per team, with contacts included. You never run out of credits halfway through the month.
Will it suggest my existing customers or open deals?
No. During setup we load your customers and open deals from your CRM or a simple list, and they’re never suggested.
Can I call instead of email?
Yes. Every account comes with talking points and the reason to call now, and you can log the call in a click.
Is it written by AI?
Language models help with the research and the first draft. Every reason is tied to a source, and you read every draft before it goes anywhere.
