How much time does Funkel actually take?

The work that is left is judgment: approve the first message, reply when someone engages, and decide which signals are worth your time. Discovery, scoring, and drafting are handled for you, so most founders spend minutes a day, not hours.

Will it get my LinkedIn account restricted?

Funkel is built to avoid that. Sends run through a native API integration and are paced under LinkedIn’s daily limits, and because outreach is triggered by signals rather than volume, you send far fewer messages in the first place.

Does it sound like me or like a bot?

Drafts are written from the specific signal and your buyer profile, and you approve every one before it sends, so you can keep your voice and catch anything that sounds off.

What Funkel is for founders

Funkel is a signal-based outbound tool built for founders doing their own sales. If your pipeline depends on one LinkedIn account and a few hours you do not really have, Funkel watches for real buying signals (a job change, someone posting about a competitor, a profile action), scores each person against your buyer profile, and drafts a LinkedIn or email message that cites the reason to reach out. You review and approve; nothing sends on its own. The point is fewer, better-timed messages from your account, in your voice.

What gets in the way today

Outbound is the first thing to slip

Between product, hiring, and customers, prospecting is the task that never happens. The spreadsheet works for the first twenty leads and breaks around the fortieth.

One account you cannot afford to lose

Volume automation tools push you to send hundreds of messages a day. For a founder with a single LinkedIn account and a personal brand attached, a restriction is not an inconvenience. It is your pipeline.

Generic messages sound like everyone else

"Just bumping this" and "circling back" get ignored. But writing something genuinely relevant to each person takes time you do not have.

How Funkel helps

It tells you who is worth a message

Funkel surfaces people from live LinkedIn signals and scores them against your buyer profile, so you spend your limited time on the handful who actually have a reason to talk.

It drafts; you stay in control

Each draft is written from the signal that triggered it and waits for your approval. Your tone and your buyer profile stay yours; the queueing and the Sales Navigator paging do not.

It protects your one account

Sends are paced under LinkedIn’s limits through a native API integration, not a browser extension, so you can run outbound without gambling the account your brand sits on.

LinkedIn and email in one place

Reach someone where the signal appeared, then follow up by email, with every conversation kept in one inbox that stays yours.
