Notes on prospecting, data and doing it without renting a database.
Nothing here yet, and that is on purpose
We would rather publish nothing than fill this page with posts written to rank. There are no blog posts yet. The first ones appear when we have something worth saying that is not already in a guide.
In the meantime, the useful material lives in our guides. They cover the whole route from a list of company names to a reply in your inbox, and they are kept up to date.

Read moreWhat the blog will cover
The guides explain how to do something. The blog is for the things around it: what we learn while building Riftjaw, changes in the rules that affect cold email, and practical examples of how a niche list turns into customers.
- Prospecting in practice. Worked examples of finding a niche, picking sources and writing a first mail that gets answered.
- Rule changes. When mailbox providers or regulators change something that affects outreach, what it means in plain words.
- Data habits. Short notes on keeping a lead database clean, from key fields to retention.
- Product notes. Why we built something the way we did. Release details stay in the changelog.
Questions people ask
When there is something useful to say that is not already in a guide. We do not publish on a fixed schedule just to fill the page.
The knowledge base covers the dashboard step by step. The guides cover the methods behind it.
Yes. Send it through the contact page. Questions that come up often usually become a guide or a knowledge base article first.
Because a page full of filler teaches you nothing and would not be honest about where we are. We would rather point you to five guides that answer real questions than to fifty posts that repeat each other.
In the changelog, with every release and what it fixed or added.
