Outreach and founder brand
Simple messages
people actually
answer.
Paper Sq writes and sends LinkedIn and email outreach for B2B founders, and builds the founder profile sitting behind it. Every message is written by hand, one person at a time, in the way you would actually introduce yourself.

The problem
Outreach gets ignored for three fairly boring reasons.
None of them need better software to fix. They need someone to slow down and write the thing properly.
It reads like software
People can spot a merge field in the first line.
You have probably deleted a message the moment you realised nobody had actually written it. Everything we send is typed by a person who read the profile first. That is the whole trick, and it is the reason so few people bother with it.
It opens with a hook
A clever question from a stranger is still a stranger asking for something.
We do not do curiosity hooks or leading questions. We say who you are, what you do, and why we noticed them. If that is interesting to the person reading it, they will reply on their own.
There is nothing behind it
They look you up before they answer.
Most people who are interested will check your profile before writing back. If there is nothing there, a good message quietly dies. That is why we build the founder side of this too.
How we write
Same person. Two messages.
This is the entire difference between the two. Not the tools, not the volume. The words.

Hi Rohan,
I hope this message finds you well! I came across your profile and was really impressed by your work at {{company}}.
We help agencies like yours streamline operations and drive efficiency at scale through our innovative automation platform. Our clients typically see a 40% improvement in team productivity.
Would you be open to a quick 15 minute call this week to explore synergies? I have attached a one pager below.
Best regards,

Hi Rohan, I saw you're hiring a second project coordinator.
I build internal automation for agencies. Usually that means client reporting, onboarding and project handoffs, the work that quietly fills a coordinator's week without ever being anyone's actual job.
Happy to connect and discuss.

Services
Three things. Take one or take all three.
LinkedIn outreach
Thirty to forty messages a day, sent from your profile and written one person at a time. Warm introductions, not cold pitches.
- 30 to 40 people a day
- Every message written by a person
- Four messages over a month, then we stop
- We handle replies and book the call
Email outreach
Plain text email that reaches the inbox. Separate sending domains so your main one stays clean, and writing simple enough to read on a phone.
- Separate domains, properly warmed
- Verified lists, nothing scraped
- Four messages over a month
- Everything stops the moment they reply
Founder personal branding
Twelve to twenty posts a month in your own words, so the profile people check after your message does some of the work for you.
- One 45 minute call a month
- 12 to 20 posts, written from what you said
- Profile and headline rewritten
- You approve everything before it goes out
The sequence
Four messages over a month. Then we stop.
Most agencies send eight or ten inside a fortnight. We have never found that it helps. It irritates the people who were never going to answer, and it burns the ones who might have come round later. Four messages spread across a month, each one saying something the last one did not, and then we leave them alone.
Day 1LinkedIn
Connection request, no note
A note attached to a request reads as a pitch before they have even accepted.
Day 7Email
A plain introduction
What we noticed, who you are, what you do. No attachment and no calendar link.
Day 16LinkedIn
Message, if they accepted
Something the email did not say. We never send the same thing twice in different words.
Day 28Email
One last note, then we stop
We tell them we will leave it there, and we mean it. This is reliably the best replying message of the four.
No deck, no pressure
