What happens
Nebula searches for the latest company news
Nebula searches the web for recent information about the company: funding announcements, product launches, press coverage, and anything else that gives you context before you reach out.
Key people are identified
Nebula finds the relevant decision makers at the company (typically the CEO, CTO, or the head of whichever department your product is most relevant to), along with any publicly available context about their role.
A research brief is put together
Everything is compiled into a short summary you can actually use. It looks something like this:
Acme Corp: Research Brief
Funding: Raised $24M Series B in November 2024 led by Sequoia. Total raised: $31M.
What they're building: An AI-powered inventory management platform for mid-market retailers. Recently launched a real-time demand forecasting feature.
Team size: ~85 employees, growing fast in engineering and sales.
Key contacts:
- Sarah Chen: CEO & Co-founder. Previously VP Product at Shopify.
- Marcus Webb: CTO. Led infrastructure at two previous logistics startups.
- Priya Nair: Head of Partnerships. Joined six months ago from a SaaS background.
Recent milestones: Announced a partnership with a major 3PL provider last month. Featured in TechCrunch last week.
A personalized outreach email is drafted
Using the research, Nebula drafts a cold email that references the company's specific situation, not a generic template. It might look like this:
Subject: Congrats on the Series B, quick thought on your forecasting rollout
Hi Sarah,
Congrats on the Series B, impressive traction, and the demand forecasting launch caught my eye.
As you scale that feature, one thing teams often run into is keeping the underlying data pipelines reliable as SKU counts grow. That's exactly what we help with at [Your Company]; we've worked with a few other inventory platforms in the post-Series B phase to get that infrastructure production-ready without it becoming a distraction for the engineering team.
Worth a 20-minute call to see if there's a fit? Happy to work around your schedule.
