This is what they came for. Walk the episode steps, ask which themes they want, then book the date on the next slide.

"Here's what I thought for you." Read the title out. Edit it live with what they tell you, then book it.

Future Roots · your episode

Let's lock in your episode.

Emiliano GutiérrezHost, Future Roots

Book the date together on screen. Then: "Who else should be on the show?"

Separately from the show

We also help founders raise and go to market.

Raise · under 4 weeks$16M in term sheets
Go-to-market7+ figures in deals closed

Only if they're raising or pushing go-to-market hard and it's urgent: "We also do this. I can introduce you to my partners and we'll have a joint call together. Would you like that?" Otherwise, episode first, scope call after.

Why it works

We start by giving.

Give me your time→Let's tell your story

Start with why. Everything we do starts with giving first. Then: "Here's what everyone else does."

The problem with warm intros

Referrals only get you so far.

"Optimizing your fundraising for referrals will put you on a local maximum."

Brett Adcock, founder of Figure, July 2024
Referrals People you already know Where most stop Everyone else Everyone who should know you

Warm intros are great until they run out. The people who should know you are a much bigger group, and most founders never cross the gap to reach them.

 

Everybody asks. We invite.

Sales version only. Let them read the inbox. Every line asks for something, and every one gets deleted. The last one offers something, and it gets the reply.

What we do

Cold email. Warm invitation.

Sales, marketing and funding. One motion.

THE EMAIL THE SHOW THE MONEYFUNDING · REVENUE THE INVITE NOT A PITCH IN A COLD INBOX

Cold email is the reach. The show is the reason they say yes. Money is why it matters: every guest is a buyer or an investor. The invite is where the three meet. Nobody reads a pitch in a cold inbox; everyone answers an invitation.

Let it land. Say nothing for a moment. Then: "If you ever want this for your company, here's how it works."Then go straight to the ask.

 

Every episode opens the next door.

Guests share it. Their network sees it. The next invitation lands warmer.

Your show Guests Deals Their network compounding

The right hook. Ads and cold outreach start from zero every month. This compounds: every guest is a buyer, an investor or an intro, and every episode warms the next invitation. The numbers show the shape, not a promise.

 

One deal pays for the engine.

$90,000 in new revenue3.6×return on Momentum ($25,000)Break even at 0.8 deals

For reference: $100K raised on a $9K engagement. 11×.

Ask: "What's one customer worth to you over their lifetime?" Set it live, then let them move conversion. These are their numbers, not a promise.

 

30 pre-interviews a month, or we keep going.

Booked on your calendar, with your ICP. Miss it, and the team keeps running the engine at no extra cost until we get there.

Say it plainly, then move on. No refunds, just more work from our side. The mailboxes are why we can promise it: more mailboxes, more invitations, more pre-interviews.

We start a few new clients each month

If you ever want this for your company.

Want to test first? A 45-day Sprint is available on request.

Our guarantee. 30 booked pre-interviews a month. Miss it, and we keep running it at no extra cost until we hit it.
Email setupYour target listInvitations you approveReplies booked to your calendarYou approve every message. You own every relationship.

Lead with the full price. Then, lightly: "People on the show and in my network get 33% off, which is quite sweet." Flip the switch. Anchor on Momentum. Mailboxes are the lever: 60 a month per ICP.

Next step

Let's get you started.

Pick the call that fits.
