ContactOut

I think like a Google bot, designing experiments to validate hypotheses and continuously refine growth strategies.

Key outcomes:

- 2x increase in impression rate and 3x more traffic on the ContactOut website.
- 4x increase in signups by streamlining conversion funnels and aligning them with user needs.
- I live and breathe Google Search Console and Google Analytics to drive insights.
- Build workflows to turn traffic into deals: Traffic → Signups → Enrichment → Lead Assignment → Deals.

Focused on turning data into actionable strategies that fuel long-term growth.

🚀 Helping Builders Become Funded Founders

At Athena VC, we fund solo technical founders before anyone else—no co-founder, no traction, no problem. We invest $50K-$100K for 8% equity and work hands-on for 6 months to help founders validate, build, and launch.

As a Venture Partner, I:
✅ Find & connect with high-potential founders—builders, indie hackers, and technical talent ready to launch.
✅ Help founders navigate the application process and refine their ideas.
✅ Support founders in early-stage validation—connecting them with users, investors, and mentors.

💡 If you’ve built something before, whether an MVP, a side project, or an open-source tool, we want to be your first believer.

📩 DM me if you’re ready to build. Or apply at Athena.vc
