AI research · Human outreach

Your next investor, your biggest buyer and your best headline are already out there. They just have not heard of you yet.

In most sectors there are three to six hundred people who can genuinely move your business. The journalists on your beat. The podcast hosts booking guests. The newsletter writers your investors already read. The funds, the family offices, the buyers who sign. We find that list, build what they need to see, and put a person in front of every one that matters.

AI reads. People reach. No blasting, no auto-sent sequences, no synthetic voice agents.
Content built, not just placed. The narrative, the deck, the clips and the page.
Public company work is disclosed. Compensation stated in writing, issuer counsel reviews before anything ships.

How it works

Map the market. Run the outreach. Report what moved.

The first 30 days build the target list, the message and the motion. After that it is execution and reporting on a weekly cadence.

STEP 01

Map

We define the accounts, decision makers, investors, partners and media targets worth pursuing. We also define who to leave out. You approve the list before anything goes out.

STEP 02

Run

Operators execute. Research, email, LinkedIn, contact forms, calls, event pushes, referral paths and media pitching. Replies get handled the same day.

STEP 03

Report

Every week you see touches made, replies, call notes, meetings booked, accounts that stalled and what we are doing next. No guessing at what the spend bought.

AI + operators

AI does the reading. A person does the reaching.

We use AI where it is genuinely better than a human, which is reading a lot of material quickly. We do not use it to fake relationships. A named operator approves and sends every outbound message.

Research and enrichment

AI compiles company profiles, filings, funding events, hiring signals, news and contact data into one brief. An operator verifies the contact before it enters a campaign.

AI drafts · human verifies

Account prioritization

Accounts are scored on fit, timing and observable signals so the desk works the most relevant list first. The operator makes the final call on who gets worked.

AI ranks · human decides

Message drafting

AI produces a first pass from the approved positioning. An operator edits it, checks the claim against source material and sends it under their own name.

AI drafts · human sends

Call preparation

Briefs, recent news and talking points are assembled before the call. The call itself is made by a person on our floor.

AI preps · human calls

Weekly reporting

Activity is assembled automatically. The read on what it means, what stalled and what to do next is written by the account lead.

What the engine watches

Timing beats volume. These are the signals that move an account to the top of the queue.

Sending practice

Outbound only works if it lands. We run separate sending domains so your primary domain is never at risk, warm them before volume, verify every address before it enters a sequence, cap daily send rates per mailbox, and honor unsubscribes and suppression lists across every campaign.

What we do not do: auto-sent sequences with no human review, synthetic voice agents posing as people, purchased or scraped lists we have not verified, or AI-written claims about a company that are not traceable to something that company has already published.

The influence map

Most companies have no idea how many people already cover their sector.

Before a single message goes out, the engine builds the map: the journalists on your beat, the podcast hosts booking guests, the newsletter writers your investors already read, the analysts, the creators with real audiences, and the producers and bookers who control access to all of it. Named, sourced and ranked by whether they actually matter to your business.

ILLUSTRATIVE
Typical ranges for a sector of this shape, shown to give you the scale of the opportunity. They are not a claim about your specific market. Your real map is named, verified and delivered in week one.

Targeted does not mean small. It means relevant.

We do not blast. Nobody on this map gets contacted because they were on a list. They get contacted because their beat, their portfolio, their audience or their editorial calendar actually intersects with what you do, and because there is a reason to reach them this week rather than someday. A journalist who has covered three companies in your space this quarter is a different conversation than a name pulled from a directory.

Channels

Run one lane. Add more when it proves itself.

Each channel works on its own or combines into one coordinated desk. Volumes below are typical monthly ranges, not guarantees.

Outbound sales

Account research, decision maker mapping, email and LinkedIn sequences, contact forms, reply handling, follow up and CRM tracking.

750–1,500 touches / mo

Tele-calls and events

Human callers confirm interest, push webinar and event attendance, qualify warm leads, recover no shows and book the next step.

300–750 attempts / mo

PR and media

Publication angles, financial media, trade outlets, industry newsletters, podcast and interview pitching, executive commentary.

400–900 touches / mo

Investor and capital paths

Family offices, funds, strategic capital and corporate development. Mapped, contacted, followed up by a person, and tracked to a named introduction rather than an impression.

175–400 touches / mo

Account intelligence

Funding events, executive hires, job postings, expansion signals and filings are monitored so accounts get worked when something has actually changed.

250–600 accounts watched

Partners and referrals

Consultants, brokers, agencies, advisors, associations, resellers and channel allies mapped and activated as introduction sources.

Scoped per program

Customer acquisition

Launch campaigns, local market outreach, industry lists, buyer targeting and follow up into a booking or purchase path.

Scoped per program
The content studio

We do not just place the story. We build it, then we drive people to it.

Outreach without something to send is a cold introduction that goes nowhere. The studio produces the narrative, the deck, the commentary, the clips and the page, and the desk pushes traffic into it and captures who shows up.

    The desk

    Software finds the signal. People create the movement.

    Anyone can buy a data tool. Very few teams consistently run research, relevance, outreach, calls, follow up and weekly reporting. That is the part we operate.

    Mapping before launch

    Targets, decision makers, media lanes and partner paths are agreed before a campaign goes live.

    Operator floor

    Research, calls, follow up, contact discovery, list cleanup and daily CRM updates.

    Supporting companies across the United States and Canada.

    Public companies

    Investor awareness that is disclosed, sourced and reviewed.

    Issuer visibility, investor education, executive positioning, webinar traffic and media outreach. This category has a bad reputation for good reasons. We work the way a company with counsel and an IR team can defend in writing.

    Investor awareness

    Campaigns built around the company story, growth thesis, sector momentum, investor webinars and newsletter traffic.

    Retail investor visibility

    Digital PR

    Podcasts, interviews, financial newsletters, niche publications, expert commentary and founder facing stories.

    CEO and market authority

    Disclosure and review

    Every compensated item carries a written statement of who paid, how much and in what form. Nothing publishes without issuer legal and IR sign off.

    Section 17(b) practice

    Reporting

    Weekly view of outreach completed, traffic sources, engagement, webinar activity and media targets, measured against your earned versus paid coverage share at baseline.

    Board ready cadence

    Investor lead generation, specifically

    Awareness that does not produce a named, contactable, qualified investor is just spend. The desk is built to produce a list, not an impression count.

    Audience acquisition

    Webinar registrations, newsletter opt-ins and briefing signups driven from media placements, creator mentions, podcast appearances and investor communities. Every registrant carries a source tag so you know which channel produced them.

    Named and opt-in

    Qualification

    Registrants are ranked on observable behaviour. Did they attend, how long did they stay, did they open the follow-up, did they come back, did they ask a question. Interest depth decides who gets a human call first.

    Engagement ranked

    Human follow-up

    The top of that list gets called by a person on our floor, not dropped into an automated sequence. Call notes go into your CRM the same day.

    Called, not dripped

    Institutional and capital paths

    Family offices, fund analysts, corporate development teams and strategic buyers mapped separately from retail, with introduction paths tracked to a named outcome.

    Positive Stocks
    Affiliated company · common ownership

    Run your ticker before you talk to us.

    Our affiliate Positive Stocks publishes free small and micro-cap research and runs the Investor Visibility Scorecard. Enter any US or Canadian ticker and it reads 90 days of public news feeds, then grades four things: how much coverage exists, how many distinct outlets produced it, how recent it is, and how much of it the company paid a newswire to distribute.

    That last number is the one worth knowing. For most small caps it sits above 80 percent, which means almost nobody has chosen to write about them. It takes about five seconds, there is no form, and it will tell you more about your problem than a sales call will.

    WHERE THE LINE IS

    Optuny and Positive Stocks share ownership, and we say so rather than letting you find out. Positive Stocks editorial coverage is not a deliverable of any Optuny engagement. It cannot be bought, bundled or promised as part of a campaign, and issuers do not get approval rights over factual content there. Optuny produces your material, which you approve because it is yours. Positive Stocks publishes its own, which you do not. If a company Optuny works with ever appears on that site, the compensation is disclosed on the page itself. An outreach firm quietly owning the outlet that covers its clients is the exact thing this industry gets caught doing, so the wall is published instead of assumed.

    What we will not do

    • Recommend buying, selling or holding any security
    • Guarantee share price, trading volume or market capitalization
    • Promise a financing outcome or an investor purchase
    • Accept compensation in shares, warrants or options
    • Take payment from shareholders, consultants or any third party
    • Hold positions in companies we work with
    • Time a campaign to a financing or a lock-up expiry
    • Run anonymous or unattributed promotion
    • Publish anything the issuer's counsel has not reviewed

    How we work instead

    • Compensation disclosed in writing on every paid item
    • Claims traceable to the issuer's own filings and releases
    • No forward-looking statements we originate ourselves
    • Optuny named as the party running the campaign
    • Audience is educated, not instructed
    • Activity logged and reported to the board weekly
    • Earned versus paid coverage share measured monthly
    • Corrections published when we get something wrong
    • Affiliate relationships disclosed, not discovered
    REQUIRED DISCLOSURE

    Optuny is a communications and business development firm. We are not a broker dealer, investment adviser or research provider. We do not provide investment advice or make securities recommendations, and we do not guarantee trading volume, share price, market capitalization, financing outcomes or investor purchases. Where Optuny is compensated to distribute information about an issuer, that compensation is disclosed in the material itself as required under Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933. All issuer materials are reviewed by the issuer's legal, IR and compliance teams before publication.

    Straight answers

    The questions people ask before they sign.

    Who actually writes and sends the messages?

    A named operator on our team. AI produces a first draft from positioning you approved, the operator edits it, checks the claim against source material, and sends it under their own name and signature. If a prospect replies, they are talking to the person who wrote it.

    Do you send from my domain?

    No. We register and warm separate sending domains that redirect to your site, so your primary domain and its deliverability are never exposed to cold volume. You own those domains. If you would rather use your own, we will, but we will tell you the risk first.

    Do you buy or scrape lists?

    We build lists from licensed data providers and public sources, then verify every address before it enters a sequence. We do not buy bulk lists of unknown origin. Bad lists burn domains and waste the first month.

    What happens in the first week?

    Kickoff call, ICP and exclusion list, positioning and offer angles, first target list built for your approval. Sending domains get registered and start warming immediately because that is the long pole. Nothing goes out until you have signed off on the list and the message.

    Am I locked into a long contract?

    Programs run in 30 or 90 day blocks. We do not require an annual commitment. The weekly report exists so you can decide to continue with evidence rather than optimism.

    What if it does not produce meetings?

    Then the report shows that, and we tell you why. Usually it is one of three things: the target list is wrong, the offer is not compelling to that buyer, or the timing signals are not there. All three are fixable in month two, and all three are visible in the weekly data before you have spent another quarter.

    Are you a broker dealer or an investment adviser?

    No. Optuny is a communications and business development firm. We are not registered as a broker dealer, investment adviser or research provider, we do not make securities recommendations, and we do not take compensation in shares, warrants or options. Where we are paid to distribute issuer information, that compensation is disclosed in the material as required under Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933.

    Will you work with my competitors?

    Not inside the same sector and buyer set at the same time. Tell us who you consider a conflict during scoping and we will confirm it in writing before we start.

    Who owns the data when we stop?

    You do. Accounts, contacts, notes, call records and sequence history live in your CRM or get handed over as clean exports. There is no version of this where you leave with less than you came in with.

    Where are you based?

    San Diego, California, with an operator floor supporting campaigns across the United States and Canada.
