Alumni Q&A
- How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
- The founders met on their first day of college and had previously worked together on several projects, including an LLM-based startup called EasyJobs that reached 20K MAU in about a year and a half, giving them experience in NLP and outbound sales. Having written over 1,000 personalized sales emails themselves, they found personalization effective for conversion but too time-consuming to scale, which led them to build Coldreach.
Summarized from the founders' answers on their Y Combinator profile.
