You sell to VPs of Engineering at Series A B2B SaaS companies, 30 to 120 people, in the quarter after a raise, when headcount grows faster than the tooling around it.
Email: [email] (verified, listed on the engineering blog author page).
Signal: closed a 14[personne] A eight weeks ago, 6 backend roles opened the same month (careers page).
Pain point: onboarding capacity, not hiring. The last two engineering posts are about ramp-up time.
Opening line: "Six backend openings eight weeks post-Series A usually turns into an onboarding problem before it turns into a capacity win. Your last two posts read like you are already there. How are you handling ramp-up?"
Email: [email] (pattern, first name at domain, matches two public addresses).
Signal: engineering post naming the monolith split as the two-quarter priority.
Pain point: observability was not scoped into the migration plan they published.
Opening line: "Your monolith split post scopes the two quarters carefully but never mentions observability. That is usually the part that gets discovered halfway. Is it already on the plan?"
Email: [email] (verified, conference speaker page).
Signal: Staff Engineer posting explicitly scoped to replacing the in-house deploy pipeline.
Pain point: an in-house pipeline nobody wants to own, being rebuilt rather than replaced.
Opening line: "Your Staff Engineer posting puts the in-house deploy pipeline up for replacement. What is pushing you to rebuild rather than buy?"
Contact Dana first: the signal is 8 weeks old and the pain point is already public in their own words. Then Priya, whose posting states the buying intent outright. Marcus third: strong fit, but the email is a pattern match, so verify before a sequence.
