Why these aren't the same thing
Data vs. Execution
Apollo sells access to a contacts database. That's step one of a ten-step process. You still need to build lists, write sequences, personalize messages, manage follow-ups, and track everything in your CRM. Founderloop handles all of that. You review and approve.
Cold-first vs. Warm-first
Apollo's workflow assumes you're starting cold — find contacts, blast emails. Founderloop starts with who you already know. Your investors, your network, your community connections. Cold outreach is Layer 5, not Layer 1.
Tools vs. Agent
Apollo is a tool you operate. Founderloop is an agent that operates for you. The difference: one adds to your workload, the other removes it.
What changes when you move to Founderloop
Save 4+ hours per day
No more manually building lists, writing personalized emails, and managing sequences across tools. The agent handles the execution while you focus on closing.
3x higher response rates
Warm intros and signal-based outreach consistently outperform cold blasts. When your first touchpoint is a mutual connection, people actually reply.
Pipeline from Week 1
Apollo takes weeks to set up properly — building lists, cleaning data, testing sequences. Founderloop activates your existing network on day one.
Stop building lists. Start booking meetings.
