Hi Ximena, great to connect. We build MVPs, and early products are my favorite kind of work. What’s the next feature you can’t wait to ship?
Hi Obiageli, appreciate the connection. We build mobile apps, and no two companies ship on the same rhythm. How often do you put out a new version?
Hi Marguerite, good luck with the technical co-founder search at Brightfen. What would they build first?

FAQ
Not directly. Pancake can’t count a team’s engineers. It finds startups hiring them or posting that they need a technical co-founder.
No. Pancake skips job posts from agencies and checks every lead against the buyer roles in your Brain, like CTO or founder.
Yes. Your Brain sets the markets you sell to. Where your team sits doesn’t change who Pancake finds.
Yes, when they say so in public. Watch posts about adding AI to a product, and job posts that name OpenAI or LangChain.
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.
Every lead. Pancake contacts only leads you approve and add to your campaign, and you get 10 minutes to undo.
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.
