CTO Cold Outreach
CTOs delete most outbound on sight. They're right to. The few messages that get read are grounded in a specific repo, a public talk, or a recent architectural call, and they ask for something smaller than a 30-minute calendar invite. This playbook is built for those.
The problem
DevTools, infra, and security vendors live or die on technical buy-in. Most SDRs can't write a first line that survives an engineering filter, so the team either tries to sell around the CTO (slow) or sends generic outreach that lands in the spam folder of the actual decision-maker (slower).
How DataChi runs it
DataCHI pulls signals from GitHub activity, job listings, conference talks, and changelogs. It finds a credible angle per prospect and drafts a short opener that references something specific. The follow-up cadence defaults to a Loom or async demo link before it asks for time on the calendar.
What's included
- Signal pulls from GitHub, job posts, conference talks, and changelogs
- Openers that reference a repo, a stack choice, or a stated problem
- Loom-first follow-ups with async demo as the soft ask
- Persona profiles for security-led, infra-led, and product-led CTOs
- Tone tuned for engineering culture, not enterprise sales
Who it's for
DevTools, security, infra, and platform vendors whose deals gate on CTO or VP Eng approval.
Outcomes
- Replies from the actual technical buyer, not their EA
- Shorter path from first touch to a working POC
