Key Differences

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.

Why Founders Switch

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.
