Control

You choose who hears from you.

Pancake contacts only the leads you approve and add to your campaign. Nothing goes out for 10 minutes, so you can undo.

  • Your own LinkedIn

    Outreach goes out from your account, paced by LinkedIn’s own limits.

  • No pitch in the invite

    Connection requests go out with no note.

  • Weekdays, business hours

    Pancake sends Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, in your time zone.

FAQ

Questions dev shops ask.

Can it find startups with no engineers yet?

Not directly. Pancake can’t count a team’s engineers. It finds startups hiring them or posting that they need a technical co-founder.

Will I reach recruiters instead of CTOs?

No. Pancake skips job posts from agencies and checks every lead against the buyer roles in your Brain, like CTO or founder.

Our engineers are nearshore. Can we sell to US startups?

Yes. Your Brain sets the markets you sell to. Where your team sits doesn’t change who Pancake finds.

We build AI features. Can it find teams that want them?

Yes, when they say so in public. Watch posts about adding AI to a product, and job posts that name OpenAI or LangChain.

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.
