  • Under your name

    Every message goes out as you, in your voice.

  • No pitch up front

    The first touch never sells.

  • Weekdays, business hours

    Pancake sends Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, in your time zone.

FAQ

Questions dev shops ask.

Can it find startups with no engineers yet?

Not directly. Pancake can’t count a team’s engineers. It finds startups hiring them or posting that they need a technical co-founder.

Will I reach recruiters instead of CTOs?

No. Pancake skips job posts from agencies and checks every lead against the buyer roles in your Brain, like CTO or founder.

Our engineers are nearshore. Can we sell to US startups?

Yes. Your Brain sets the markets you sell to. Where your team sits doesn’t change who Pancake finds.

We build AI features. Can it find teams that want them?

Yes, when they say so in public. Watch posts about adding AI to a product, and job posts that name OpenAI or LangChain.

What does Pancake send?

Up to three short messages under your name, after a light warm-up. No emails, no calls.

What do I approve?

Every lead. Pancake contacts only leads you approve and add to a sequence, and you get 10 minutes to undo.

Can I read the messages before they send?

Yes. Each lead gets personal messages in your voice. Read and edit any of them before it goes out, or let them send as written. A reply stops the sequence.

How many leads will I get?

About 120 to 600 qualified leads a month on 60,000 credits, more on a higher level. Each one is matched to your ICP by your Brain. It is an estimate: a narrow audience costs more, and Pancake shows the real one before a search runs.

What does it cost?

From $99 a month per workspace, with 60,000 credits and unlimited seats. The 7-day free trial comes with 15,000 credits and needs a card.
