Hyper-personalized AI with proven Sales Sequences

Fuzzy Sequence sends hyper-personalised messages using best practice sales techniques that helps B2B Companies with conversion. We help sales people research leads, and write personalised copy based on real-time intent data combined with sales best practices and build automated multi-channel sequencing through email and linkedin.

Founders

Serena and Pete met at Iterative (SEA-based accelerator) in July 2023. We gelled and became great friends over B2B sales and used to co-host a weekly Sales Discussion with several other Iterative founders. There 2 pain points were finding good sales data and writing good sales copy for outbound. We talked to over 100 sales leaders in APAC and learned that top SDRs were already using GPT to write their outbound emails — but struggled to do it at scale. We built the MVP using a spreadsheet and OpenAI API and closed our first sale.

Idea

Serena and Pete met at Iterative (SEA-based accelerator). We gelled and became great friends over B2B sales and used to co-host a weekly Sales Discussion with several other Iterative founders.

1. Most AI Sales Tools focus on spamming messages and fake “personalization” which is bad sales copy. Sales copy that convert is a result of good intent data (e.g. LinkedIn, news, hiring data) + fine-tuned AI model (from copy that covert well) + human-generated templates (contributed by a community of sales experts). Competing products often over-index on one or two of these but never all 3 — resulting in well-researched copy that sounds robotic or well-written copy that lacks depth from research.
2. Good Sales is based on trust and building a relationship with the customer. Showing that you care enough to have done your research (good intent-data). Most tools right now focus on ‘being loud’
3. Most Sales tools right now aren’t built for Sales People. The UX is built for Engineers (Clay, SalesLoft, Outreach), its hard to navigate and the learning curve to onboard has too much friction. We want to build the Apple of Sales products.

SaaS subscription fee - we’re started with $99 and ratcheted up to $199. We also have the $299 and $499 plans for power users. We are using a credit system that deducts the credits as users perform actions like research and write sales copy.

GTM:

- Using our Tool to do outbound with Mid Market Comapnies, we help Series A to D Busineses scale their Sales Teams
- Linkedin Influencers
- We’ve started to build partnerships with Sales Agencies, Sales Community Groups (Pavillion, Tech Sales Singapore, Sales Australia), and Sales Schools through affiliates.

Curious

We’ve both applied applied for Y Combinator many times before we were ready and also with completely different startups!

This is the most we’ve achieved we’ve been in a working product and paying customers who love us.

love the idea / fast-growing but also soon-crowded space

some thoughts:

  1. consistency across the application
  2. you mentioned you each applied to yc before - but then put n/a to the earlier question of did you apply before. i think this is a great opportunity to expound on learning + growth since then
  3. i'd try to emphasise traction. e.g.:
  4. MAUs / DAUs
  5. number of messages/emails sent per day
  6. growth rates of all the above
  7. any retention metrics?
  8. on acquisition i'd emphasise that you are getting new leads with 0 outbound (not even using your own app)
  9. i'd try to really nail your unique insights + think a bit about defensibility given it's a really crowded space. i'm not sure it's "wow" insightful enough right now.

Hope that helps!
