for a Snapshot
The list came from NIH award records, timed to the 8 September SBIR/STTR deadline. Michele's words and the full case study are below.
“You took my cold-call list, my warm list, and my Mailchimp base, layered in your own independent research, segmented all of it, and wrote in my voice but personalized to each person.
I had more calls in two weeks than in the entire prior year.”

07 About
One thing led to the next.
- 2017National Art School, Sydney
Art history. Four years of looking at what's there before saying what it means.
- 2022dither_
Built an app for finding exhibitions across 167 Sydney galleries. No ad budget, so I went to the galleries: 50 interviews, 800 beta users, 10,000 followers. The lesson: find out who needs it before you build it.
- 2026Catchafire, 350 Colorado
Took that into fundraising. 69% of their donors gave once and never returned; the data said who was worth writing to again.
- 2026Vector
The same work, on its own. Public signals, your voice, the conversation handed over.

No risk. Fully yours. Outbound built to win consultations.
