Seven months of building mailgent solo, two paying customers, $640 MRR. One month since launch. Not a viral launch story, just a quiet start that's finally moving.

Mailgent runs LinkedIn and email outreach in the same campaign. One sequence, both channels, without needing HeyReach and Instantly running side by side. That's the whole idea.

What surprised me most is that our first users came through outreach we ran on our own tool. Felt like a good sign.

Still figuring out a lot, cold email domains are warming up, Reddit posting is day one for me, and LinkedIn got complicated recently. But the product works and people are paying for it.

If you're doing cold outreach for B2B, happy to answer anything honestly, what's working, what broke, what I'd do differently. Or if you just want to tell me the landing page is bad, also fine.

What's your current outreach stack?

The image is from trustmrr, cant share link here, we are at $640+ MRR idk why trustmrr shows $575

We hit $640 MRR on our SaaS, one month after launch.

My cofounder and I launched Mailgent a few weeks ago, a LinkedIn + cold email outreach automation tool.

After a lot of things breaking, LinkedIn bans, and lots of cold DMs… we’ve hit our first $600 MRR. Honestly, its not a lot, but the thing that people are paying for something we built is a really good feeling.

We used our tool itself to get customers, but now we need to scale things up, get some influencers to post about us, start email campaigns with a lot of domains and much more.

Our learnings:

LinkedIn is fragile, don't go aggressive
Cold email works, but domain warmup is a must
People buy from outcome, not features

Here is the trustmrr for proof (the actual MRR is 640, but idk why trustmrr shows 575)

We’re thinking of launching on AppSumo and other LTD facebook groups or going heavier on cold email. Would appreciate any suggestions from fellow founders.

AMA or happy to help others in the grind.

Drop what your SaaS does - I'll personally build you a free cold outreach strategy (ICP, LinkedIn + email touchpoints, copy samples)

Hey everyone,

Quick background: I'm building Mailgent, a tool that automates cold outreach across LinkedIn and email. We just crossed $600 MRR last week (proof), tiny number, I know, but it feels good that people are paying for a tool you built.

One thing I've noticed while talking to early customers: most founders (including me, embarrassingly, for a long time) don't have a clear outreach strategy. Not even a rough one. They just kinda... blast messages and hope. So I wanted to do something useful with that.

Drop a comment telling me what your SaaS does - just a sentence or two. Who it's for, what problem it solves, whatever feels natural.

I'll generate a free, personalized outreach strategy page for your product. It'll include:

  • Ideal Customer Profile : who to actually target, with specifics (role, company size, signals to look for)
  • LinkedIn + email sequence : a multi-touchpoint flow (not just "send one message and pray")
  • Copy samples : actual subject lines, opening lines, and follow-up messages written for your specific product
  • Channel recommendation : whether you should lead on LinkedIn, cold email, or both, and why

You'll get a link to your strategy page.

Edit - Hey all, I am making proper strategies for you all, you'll get those soon
