Let AI do the heavy lifting for your Sales.

Your sales team is drowning in manual tasks: prospecting, lead research, CRM hygiene. 
They’re busy, but not productive. And your pipeline shows it.

Every hour wasted on boring and tedious tasks is a deal not closed.
You’re paying top talent to do what AI could handle in seconds. 

Meanwhile, your competitors are already automating and scaling with precision. 
Fall behind, and it’s game over.

TC9 builds AI-powered GTM engines that do the heavy lifting, so your team can focus on closing, not clicking. 

We blend strategy, automation, and intent signals to unlock growth at scale.
No fluff. Just efficiency at every level.

Ready to join the modern sales, without burning out your team?

Varun, cofounder at Clay, extended his European tour to add Paris.
The call for French croissants was too strong.

Or it's the incredible French Clay community that got him excited.

Probably both.

Anyway, we had to make it count!

So we decided to go big, and to involve some major actors in the GTM industry!

Here are the (amazing) speakers:

​- Varun Anand (ofc) - CEO and Cofounder Clay
- ​Charles Tenot - CEO lemlist
- ​Frank Sondors 🥓 - CEO Salesforge 🔥
- ​Pierre-Baptiste Landoin - CEO Icypeas
- ​Valentin W. - Founder Findymail

I'll be honored to host this event with the Clay Club Paris 🇫🇷 and with Bill Stathopoulos from SalesCaptain.

Two years ago, I was playing around with my first Clay tables.

Next week, I’m co-hosting an event that would’ve blown my mind.

This is happening next week, Dec 4th at 6:00 pm, in Paris.

Let AI do the heavy lifting for your Revenue.

Stop treating your prospects like a mass audience.
They’ll notice.

Shift from a "1 to many" mindset to genuine 1-1 communication.

Your emails should feel like they were crafted specifically for each recipient

Not just another mass outreach attempt.

Here are 9 ways to improve your cold emails:

1️⃣ Research the prospect’s industry

Understand the specific challenges and trends in their industry.

Mention these in your email to show you’ve done your homework.

2️⃣ Address their pain points

Identify what keeps them up at night.

Tailor your message to address these issues directly
Offering a solution that fits their needs.

3️⃣ Highlight common interests

Find common ground.

Whether you went to the same school or have a mutual connection.

Mentioning this can make your email stand out.

4️⃣ Reference their work

Mention a recent project or achievement of theirs.

This shows you’re genuinely interested in them.
Not just looking to sell something.

5️⃣ Keep it short and sweet

No one has time to read a novel.
Be concise and get to the point quickly.
Respect their time.

6️⃣ Follow up thoughtfully

If you don’t get a response, send a follow-up email.
Reference your previous email.

Add something new to keep the conversation going.

7️⃣ Be authentic

People can sense when you’re not being genuine.
Let your personality shine in your emails.
Be yourself.

8️⃣ Offer value

Give them a reason to respond.
Offer something of value to them.

Whether it’s a free resource, advice, or some work you did.

9️⃣ End with a clear Call to Action

Tell them exactly what you want them to do next.
Make it clear and easy for them to respond.

Today's outbound isn't about mass anymore. 

We have the skills and tools to do 1-to-1 email, at scale. 

And that's how you should do it too 👌

How to fail your cold email campaigns:
(and what to do instead)

In cold email, your opening lines are crucial.

Besides your subject line, this is what will make your prospect read your email (or not).

Some of the best lines to be sure to fail:

→ "Let me introduce myself."
→ "I am sorry to disturb you."
→ "Did you enjoy your weekend?"
→ "I hope this email finds you well."
→ "Did you know that [random fact]?"
→ “I saw your page and decided to reach out."
→ "Would you be interested in [your services]?"

Now, instead of these clichés, here are a few tips so you are relevant to your prospects:

→ Do thorough research (or let AI do it for you)
→ Include a clear and low-commitment CTA
→ Demonstrate industry knowledge
→ Offer a free (and good) resource
→ Highlight unique selling points
→ Be a teacher, not a preacher
→ Personalize your approach
→ Focus on their pain points
→ Provide value upfront
→ Be concise and clear
→ Use social proof
→ Be human

I hope this helps! 🙌

I’ve been doing cold email for the last 7 years.
Many things changed, but not these 3 key principles.

Cold email still works incredibly well.
But most people still do it wrong.

Master these 3 key principles, and you will be future-proof:

(no matter the latest changes from Gmail)

1️⃣ - Get your targeting right

If you’re not sure who you’re talking to, you’re not doing cold email.

You’re spamming.

A clear ICP means reputation saved, easier list building, and relevance.

2️⃣ - Get your technical infrastructure right

Technical setup was always important.
It’s now non-negotiable.

Fix your deliverability or be invisible, no matter how good your offer is.

I used to deal with the technical setup manually.
(and it wasn’t fun)

Today, tools like Zapmail.ai handle everything for me.
I definitely recommend you do the same!

3️⃣ - Get your messages right

A.k.a. being relevant.
Not clever. Not cute. Not vague.

Just real, researched, and resonant.
Anything less gets ignored.

Cold email isn’t dead, it just grew up.

The rules changed. But these principles didn’t.

And today is your chance to upgrade your infrastructure for a ridiculously low price!

Zapmail.ai is going crazy on Black Friday promotions:

→ Super cheap pre-warmed domains + mailboxes
→ $9.99 .COM domains (cheapest anywhere)
→ ZapShield domain protection → lifetime
→ Inbox placement tests → lifetime
→ Zapbox (unified inbox) → free

I rarely promote tools like this, but this one is too good to be ignored!

3 Key Principles After 7 Years Of Cold Email

Sales teams are quietly splitting into two very different worlds.
And one of them is dying.
 
Old habits block growth.
Leading your Sales reps to burn out fast.
 
Now is the time for smart systems to scale better.
 
The old school way:
→ Reps get stuck with long, costly contracts.
→ Rely on massive SDR teams to hit impossible targets.
→ Churn explodes when exhaustion sets in.
 
The new way:
→ GTM engineers choose flexible, usage-based tools.
→ They build lean sales engines powered by automation.
→ Satisfaction soars with performance that scales.
 
Manual work doesn’t make you valuable.
Automation makes you unstoppable.
 
The best sales pros don’t fear tech.

They design it.

In case you missed it, I'm proudly hosting an exclusive Clay event on Thursday!

Varun Anand, cofounder of Clay, added Paris to his European tour.

He’s going to drop GTM gems for 2026 and beyond.

And he won't be alone on stage!

The top outbound tools are joining him.
lemlist and Salesforge.ai 🔥 will share the stage.

Two killer data providers are here too.
Icypeas and Findymail are ready to drop insights.

This is the future of GTM, all in one room.

If you’re around, this is the room to be in.

The guest list is almost full. Don't miss out!
It's happening in two days!

Entrepreneur & Innovator | Practical AI applications & latest tech trends | Follow to learn how AI can transform your business and save you time.

I create content, build optimization systems, and share insights on AI, high performance, and longevity.

For years, my work has focused on helping people work smarter. But true optimization isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about longevity, energy, and sustaining peak performance.

That’s why I launched longer, a weekly newsletter that simplifies longevity science for people who want to stay sharp, energized, and successful.

What’s happened so far:
→ 22M+ social media impressions in the last year
→ 60K+ people follow my insights on AI, longevity, and high performance
→ A growing community applying these ideas to work, health, and life

I’ve also invested in companies in emerging markets, always looking at what’s next in innovation and long-term impact.

My focus is on systems that improve how we work, think, and live, not just today, but for the long run.

Anna Poplevina

You don’t need to win every meeting.
You need to build trust.

I saw a video of a dad letting his daughter “beat” him in a race.
Not because he’s weak.
Because she needed the win more than he did.

That’s real leadership.
And it works in business too.

Sometimes the best move is stepping back — so others can step up.

Especially when:

✅ A junior teammate needs the mic
✅ Someone’s idea isn’t perfect, but worth backing
✅ A rising leader just needs space to grow

Most managers chase control.
But high-impact leaders?
They know when to let go.

They’re not obsessed with being the smartest in the room.
They’re building teams where everyone levels up.

It’s not about ego.
It’s about momentum.

The team that moves together wins.

Where have you seen this kind of leadership work?
Or not work?

Built for big teams or solo creators. 

Top features to look out for:
✅ AI Inbox

My favorite part?
Watching their internal workspace agent take over a full workflow.
Hours of work, done in MINUTES. 

So if you’re still trying to duct-tape 10 tools together…

Most people track their steps.

I track my stress, sleep, and recovery in my finger.

Just unboxed the ŌURA Ring Gen 4.
Been wearing Oura for nearly 3 years.

Still blows my mind what it catches.

Here’s what it tracks every day:
✅ Sleep cycles
✅ Recovery signals
✅ Stress levels
✅ Body temperature

It doesn’t just show you stats.
It gives early signals you can use.

It’s warned me when I’m about to get sick.
Predicted my cycle with scary accuracy.
Even told me to go to bed early when I felt fine.

The Gen 4 update?
→ Full titanium build, inside and out
→ Rounder shape and recessed sensors for better comfort
→ Smart Sensing platform with better accuracy across different hand shapes and wear styles
→ Longer battery life and faster charging

Burnout doesn’t always hit all at once.
Sometimes it just creeps in.

It shows up as:
❌ Waking up tired
❌ Needing more caffeine
❌ Feeling drained by 2 PM

When my energy dips like that, I check the ring.

It helps me adjust before things get worse.

Sleep a little more.
Skip the extra meeting.
Take a slower morning.

Sometimes that’s all it takes.

What’s one quiet signal you look for when your body’s running low?

This is what happens when a B2B company decides to go all in on being unforgettable.

Delve just documented their entire 3-month billboard campaign across SF, New York, and Austin. And it's a masterclass in standing out.

They didn't go subtle. They went massive.

Billboards pointing at VC offices: "These folks fund legends. Legends run on Delve." Bus ads pointing at sleeping passengers: "Gets SOC 2 done before that guy wakes up from his nap."

Wrapped stretch buses asking if you're "Bent out of shape over compliance?"

For a compliance automation company, this was unheard of.

—

But that's exactly why it worked. When everyone in your space is doing the same boring playbook, being bold wins.

They got visibility most companies spend years trying to build.

People remembered them. People reached out. People wanted to know how they did it.

—

So they made a playbook. Full budget transparency, creative strategy, execution details, mistakes they made, everything.

And a mini-documentary showing the campaign from concept to launch.

Worth checking out if you want to see what bold marketing actually looks like.

Link to the full playbook the comments.

“This post sounds like ChatGPT wrote it.”

Because it had too many em dashes.

Which is funny—because I spent 5 minutes deleting them.

Here’s the thing:

It’s not wrong to use em dashes.
They’re a legit style choice.

But right now, they’re one of the top tells that AI helped write your post.

ChatGPT leans hard on them.
So people assume: too many em dashes = must be AI.

That’s not a bad thing.
Most of us use tools. That’s the point.

But the goal is clarity, not confusion.

You want people to hear your voice—
Not stop and wonder if a bot wrote it.

So here’s what helps:

✅ Write how you speak
✅ Keep structure clean
✅ Cut overly dramatic phrasing
✅ Read it out loud (seriously)

This isn’t about hiding AI use.
It’s about building trust.

Because if the writing feels robotic,
the message gets lost.

What’s one dead giveaway a post wasn’t written by a real person?

Some days feel packed from the moment you wake up.
That is when your health matters the most.

I used to think wellness was about perfect routines.

Now I see it is about having enough energy to think clearly when everything speeds up.

➝ When your calendar is full
➝ When decisions stack
➝ When your mind feels pulled in ten directions
➝ That is when the small habits actually carry you

✅ Lots of hydration
✅ A walk between calls
✅ Five quiet minutes before you open your laptop

Nothing extreme.
Nothing complicated.
Just support for your own pace!

Most people post wins on Thanksgiving.

I want to talk about what we carry.

The missed promotions.
The layoffs that blindsided.
The burnout I pretended was “just a rough patch.”

I’ve been there.

Felt like I was falling behind while everyone else soared.
Watched people I trained get promoted ahead of me.
Started jobs that didn’t fit. Stayed in ones that drained me.

But here’s the truth:

A messy career doesn’t mean you did it wrong.
It means you showed up, even when it was hard.

This year, I’m grateful for:

→ The friend who said, “Don’t quit. Just rest.”
→ The decision to bet on myself
→ The momentum I built by staying consistent

Success isn’t shiny.
It’s quiet, layered, and often invisible.

So if this season feels uncertain, take a breath.

You’re still here.
Still learning.
Still backing yourself.

That’s not a detour.
That’s your edge.

Your mess has value.
Don’t edit it out.

What’s one “messy” moment you’re secretly grateful for?

Don’t
• Try every new AI tool you see
• Save templates you never use
• Copy workflows that don’t match your job
• Jump to the next tactic before it has time to work

Do
• Pick 1 or 2 tools that actually help you work faster
• Track what cuts time and helps you think clearly
• Stay with a workflow long enough to feel the difference
• Build systems that match your goals and the way you work

Cold plunges are great.
So are supplements, meditation, and better sleep.

But if you want to level up at work…
Start with how you manage your focus.

How you plan.
How you follow through.
How you protect your time.

Longevity isn’t just for health.
It’s how you build a career that lasts.

You don’t need 10 tools to find leads.
You need one that actually works.

I used to stack:
→ LinkedIn → Email guessers → Spreadsheets → CRMs → Outreach tools

Still missed half the people I wanted to reach.
Still wasted hours chasing bad data.

Now I use Jeeva AI.

1. Search once → Get verified contacts
✅ Pulls from 1B+ work-verified leads
❌ No bounce-backs or guessing emails

2. Outreach in the same flow
✅ Send multichannel messages without switching tools
❌ No copy-paste between platforms

It’s fast, clean, and repeatable.
The kind of workflow that sticks.

Founder & CEO @ Limelight | B2B Creator Marketplace | 3x Founder | MBA Mentor

Today I’m announcing our $2,100,000 funding round 🎉💰
And a HUGE NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH!! ...

Our brand new AI agent for Social Listening is live.

It can:

→ Research your company
→ Precisely define your ICP
→ Identify all of your competitors

Then automatically surface buyer intent from social content and turn it into sales pipeline. 

Early users are raving about it already!!

And just a few weeks ago,
We won the Global Pitch Competition!
On stage at SaaStock (€1M prize money)

THIS. IS. WHAT. MOMENTUM. LOOKS. LIKE.

Here’s why investors are loving Limelight

👇🏼👇🏼

Everyone is talking about personality-led marketing.

- Niche B2B creators are stealing trust.
- Employees are becoming mini media brands.
- Buyers follow PEOPLE, not 40-page whitepapers.

But the problem - up until now?

Everyone KNOWS influence drives revenue.

Yet nobody can measure it.

So budgets have stayed trapped in paid ads & cold outbound.

Limelight SOLVES this problem.

We’re showing brands - how CONTENT drives REVENUE.

We are making influence marketing performance-based.

So brands can track:

🔎 Which post led to $142,000 in pipeline
🔎 Which creator drove 237 product signups
🔎 Which campaign closed $1.9M new business.

(All REAL Limelight case studies! 📈)

We’re turning B2B influence from a “nice-to-have branding play” into a scalable revenue engine.

Big SHOUT out to our new investors for believing in us

Amit at SNR (led the round!) 
Eran at Savyon Ventures 
Kenneth at BackFuture
Kaan at First Degree 
Josh at OpenSky 
Kirby at Ascend

And many others like Ran Makavy, Gert Lanckriet, Suhit Gupta, Amir Ashkenazi, Mike Head, Eli Schwartz, Tom Waddington, Dan Murray🧠, Garrett Scott, Michel Lieben 🧠 & Alex Vacca 🧠🛠️.

A group of incredible operators/investors who know personality-led growth will define the next decade of GTM.

What’s next?

Goal remains the same:
→ Hit $10M ARR with a team of 10.

This funding round lets us:

⚡ Build even faster
⚡ Hire a few elite engineers + AMs
⚡ Push deeper into creator-based attribution
⚡ Power influencer programs for every GTM org

Huge gratitude to my tiny but might team Youngjae JI, Demir Capan, Blas C. and Janine Bulao. 

And most importantly...

The creators and brands (HubSpot, Webflow, Clay + 100s more) who are building this category WITH us 💪🏼

THIS IS JUST THE START.

PS. if you sign up as a new customer in the next 48 hours you get your 2nd month free! (DM me and I will do it for you)
