Outreach approach: Consulting at Pre-Seed companies

Founder-to-founder tone works best. Reference the 'building your first outbound list' use case directly. Pre-seed founders are often using Apollo free tier or manual research — position Quarvio as the verified alternative that removes the verification cost on top.

Consulting has the second-highest reply rate of the 15 industries (after marketing agencies). Consultants are email-literate, understand outreach ROI, and move fast when the message is relevant. Peer-to-peer framing (one professional to another) outperforms vendor-to-buyer framing. Managing Directors and Partners at boutique firms are most accessible.
