Contactful for Founders
Founders don’t need “more tools”. They need a reliable way to remember relationships. Contactful turns LinkedIn into a lightweight relationship system: save profiles you care about, add notes + context, segment with tags, and track next steps in pipelines — without a heavy CRM and without fragile automation.
Relationship flow beats CRM overhead
Fundraising, partnerships and early sales are long-cycle conversations. Contactful makes LinkedIn workable with small, fast primitives: notes, tags, pipelines and export.
Where Contactful saves founders time
Use it as your lightweight relationship memory for everything that would otherwise live in DMs, docs, or your head.
Fundraising & investor relations
Track investors by thesis and round, add meeting notes, keep the last ask visible, and never lose the thread.
Partnerships & strategic intros
Remember who can open doors, what the intro context was, and which partner needs a follow-up this week.
Early sales without CRM pain
Track warm leads and next steps in a simple pipeline, then export a list for outreach or reporting anytime.
A founder-friendly system in 60 seconds
The goal is simple: keep context close to the profile and make next steps obvious.
Contactful workflow
- Save the LinkedIn profile (only who you choose)
- Add notes: intro source, context, last message, next step
- Tag by purpose (Investor / Partner / Customer) and segment (Round, Industry, Priority)
- Move through a lightweight pipeline: Intro → Follow-up → Active
- Filter views by tags to find the right list fast
- Export filtered lists whenever you need to share/report
What founders usually replace
Contactful replaces messy “systems” like: notes in random docs, LinkedIn DMs, spreadsheets,
and half-configured CRMs you stop using after week two.
The win is not “more tracking” — it’s less forgetting, with zero overhead.
