The results
- 1,870+ newly funded SaaS founders, CEOs and growth leaders reached in 3 months - sourced from Product Hunt’s 2026 leaderboard, AppSumo, fresh funding rounds and Sales Navigator, two decision-makers per company
- Founder-voice connects - every connection request personalised and sent as the founder himself, no agency boilerplate
- GPT-personalised pitches - every accepted connect received a tailored video pitch drafted by a custom GPT that read their profile and product first
- Omnichannel escalation - connected but quiet? A personalised email checked the inbox, with follow-ups running on both platforms. Never connected? Email first, then one friendly Instagram DM
- 65 warm & interested leads opened in the 3-month run - including Tibo Louis-Lucas, founder of Taplio & Tweet Hunter
- 25+ strategy calls booked - and ClickUp’s CEO booked a call, Notion’s Head of Growth replied, and Apollo.io & Loom threads stayed live on the company board
We just wrapped a project for Quo where a single video drove 3.7k views and over $6,700 in direct revenue, and a 12.4% conversion rate. Our Hybrid Model means we’re performance-aligned - we win when you win.

About Vlasyev
Vlasyev is a video growth agency for SaaS - YouTube reviews, tutorials and funnel video assets that get products ranked on Google, YouTube and AI search engines, from acquisition to retention. Run by founder George Vlasyev, the team publishes work for the SaaS stack everyone knows - Quo, Semrush, ClickUp, Klaviyo, Melio, Softr, Uber for Business, Wix and Zendesk - on sponsorship and performance-aligned hybrid deals.
The craft was proven; the pipeline was referral-shaped. Vlasyev needed founder-grade conversations with SaaS decision-makers at scale - without George spending his filming weeks prospecting. That’s where AISH came in.
The audience engine
Cold lists go stale; launch lists don’t. The audience was rebuilt every week around who just shipped, who just raised - and who was already paying for video.
🚀 Launch-fresh lists
- Product Hunt 2026 leaderboard - scraped weekly, 345 launches tracked and qualified across the campaign, founders approached within days of launching
- AppSumo & fresh funding rounds - launch-deal makers plus Crunchbase filters for recently funded SaaS at 11-50 headcount, timed to land as growth budgets unlock
- Status discipline - every company logged end to end: researched → added to Sales Nav → contacted → replied
🎯 Scaled SaaS segments
- Sales Navigator builds - US SaaS at 11-50 and 51-100 employees, plus a dedicated latest-funding segment
- Two per company, with stop rules - two decision-makers approached per company; the moment one replied, outreach to everyone else there stopped
- GPT-personalised messaging - a custom GPT drafted every after-connect message from the prospect’s profile and product, with a human pass before send
How we ran it
- 1. Audience identification & build - Product Hunt, AppSumo and Crunchbase funding filters merged with Sales Nav segments into one tracker, deduped by company, two contacts each
- 2. Founder-voice connects - every connection request personalised and sent as George, never as an agency
- 3. Proof-first pitches - after every accept, a GPT-drafted message built around their product, the Quo numbers and the Hybrid Model (performance-aligned - we win when you win), closing on a 10-minute chat
- 4. Channel escalation - connected but silent → a personalised email plus follow-ups on both platforms; never connected → email first, then one light Instagram check-in referencing the LinkedIn touch
- 5. Cadence iteration - launched on a Day 3 / 5 / 7 rhythm with a free video audit, then tightened to one value-led Day-3 follow-up and a Day-10 close-the-loop as reply data came in
- 6. Tracking & stop rules - every touch logged per person, a company board for the big fish (ClickUp, Notion, Apollo.io, Loom), and outreach frozen across a company the moment anyone replied
The proof, on screen
Pitches pointed at live numbers, not a showreel. The pitch quoted the Quo video at 3.7K views and $6,700 in direct revenue - and the public analytics show it compounding past 7K views since, with 84% arriving from YouTube search.
What made it work
Timing did the heavy lifting: founders heard from George days after launching on Product Hunt or closing a round - exactly when growth is the whole agenda. The pitch led with proof instead of a portfolio, and the omnichannel layer meant nobody slipped through on a quiet inbox: LinkedIn first, a personalised email for the unreachable, one friendly Instagram nudge - each channel adding a polite touch, never a pile-on, with outreach stopping company-wide the moment anyone replied. Because every message read like one founder writing to another, the biggest names in SaaS wrote back.
Product Hunt told us who just launched, Crunchbase told us who just raised - so by the time we said hello, we already knew why they needed video.
