The Problem

Sales reps send hundreds of cold emails that get ignored. Personalized video outreach works 5x better but is time-consuming to record, hard to track, and disconnected from CRM workflows.

The Solution

Chrome extension and desktop app for recording personalized video messages. AI suggests scripts based on prospect data, auto-generates thumbnails, tracks views/engagement, and logs activity to Salesforce/HubSpot.

Executive Summary

Cold emails get 1-2% reply rates. Personalized video messages get 8-12%. However, Vidyard IS a sales-focused video platform (not broad as some claim), and Loom was acquired by Atlassian for $975M. The window for new entrants is narrow.
