Session notes

The five things we covered

01
Your criteria, encoded

CEO/founder, $5M–$500M, 25-mi Denver, LinkedIn-active, 500+ connections, no conflicts. Six criteria. All required.

02
The Intrigue Hook formula

"intrigued by your [X] and business leadership" — where [X] is a specific, earned observation, not a generic compliment.

03
A starter list of real prospects

Real Denver CEOs across multiple industries. Each with three hook variants drawn from a specific, recent LinkedIn signal. Calibration fuel more than a final queue — your instincts on fit override.

04
Your pipeline

Status states from New → Member. Every column either engine-written or yours to update. Monday glance = see who's where.

05
The Research Engine — three doors

Your criteria as a Custom GPT (where you'll live), a Claude Project (same brain, better writing), and a Cloudflare Worker codebase for when you scale. Start with the GPT — it's 5 minutes and no code.
