Should founders do their own outbound?
Early outbound is research with a calendar link at the end. A founder hears objections a hired SDR will soften or miss. That is why founder-led LinkedIn still books the first customers for a lot of B2B tools.
You do not need to live in the inbox forever. You need enough conversations to write the ICP in a sentence that survives contact with the market.
Handing a vague ICP to an agency or an SDR in month one produces spam in your name. That is expensive in two ways: money, and the market's memory of you.
When replies repeat, the offer is clear, and you are the bottleneck, add help. Until then, a short daily cadence on your own account is the job. We wrote outbound for solo founders for that motion.
Omentir exists because founders got tired of stitching databases and sequencers. It still sends as you. It does not replace listening.
