Your ICP is clear: early-stage to growth-stage VC-backed AI and technology startups across Europe, focusing especially on DACH and UK, with founders and leaders responsible for GTM, Product, or Data. Segment your outreach by teams (founder, GTM, technical), company size (10–200), funding stage, and region. Here is why: This structure ensures your messaging and timing are relevant to the urgent hiring pains and budgets of fast-paced startups. You can refine your ICP further in Leadsforge—drilling down by geography, company size, or function to build focused, enriched lists.

Monitor events such as: 1) New funding rounds (especially Angel, Seed, Series A) 2) New job postings for senior roles 3) Product launches or geo-expansion 4) Recent leadership changes or new VC investors Here is why: Reaching out shortly after these events ensures your timing matches high-priority needs and available hiring budgets.

You do not need Infraforge yet, unless you expect to send very high volumes in the future. Here is why: The current size and scale of your business don’t require dedicated infrastructure; the recommended Mailforge and Primeforge setup is cost-efficient and reliable.
