Watching

  • “unplanned downtime”
  • “OT security”
  • “predictive maintenance”
Competitor

The incumbent’s audience

Pancake finds plant leaders who react to posts from the vendor you replace.

FAQ

Questions industrial founders ask.

Plant managers barely post. Where do leads come from?

Mostly from job posts. A plant hiring a reliability engineer or asking for Maximo shows up even if nobody there posts. Each lead still needs a LinkedIn profile, since outreach runs there.

Can it read a prospect’s sensor or SCADA data?

No. Pancake never sees inside a plant. It reads job posts and what plant leaders post and engage with on LinkedIn.

Our sales cycles run nine months. What’s the point?

Pancake fills the top of that cycle with new plant contacts each morning. The pilot and the contract stay with your team.

Can it find plants that run the system we replace?

Yes, when their job posts name it. Add the tool to Stack as Replaces, and Pancake finds companies whose job posts ask for it.

What does Pancake send, and where?

LinkedIn only, from your own account. A profile visit, a like, a connection request with no note, then up to three messages. No emails, no calls.

What do I approve?

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

Can I read the messages before they send?

You can read each one in the lead’s campaign journey. Messages send on their own when their step comes. You can’t edit or approve them one by one. To stop outreach, remove the lead or pause the campaign.

How many leads will I get?

Pancake aims for 5 to 15 new leads a day, delivered each morning. The count depends on how many people match your signals.

What does it cost?

$99 a month, flat, with unlimited seats. The 3-day free trial needs a card.
