Founding cohort

A product's first committed users, recruited with preferential terms — early access, locked pricing — in exchange for feedback, tolerance, and honest usage data.

For an outreach tool the founding cohort has one extra job no other category has: it's the denominator. Safety claims mean nothing until real seats run real volume through the system — the first fifty accounts are what turns 'we believe our approach is safer' into a published, measured number. That's why founding terms in this category should be generous: the cohort is buying the product and building its proof.

LinkedBoost is the LinkedIn MCP for Claude — agent-run outreach with enforced limits and a human trigger on every send. See how it works →
