B2B outbound that actually gets replies.
Paste a LinkedIn URL. Get 3 personalized DM variants — each anchored to a post the target actually wrote, written for your product and your goal. Track who replies. Compound what works.
No credit card. Starter at ₹499/mo when you’re ready.
One paste → three angles, each anchored to a real post.
Here’s what you’d get sending a partnership DM to a CTO who just posted about a database migration.
Target
"Spent the weekend migrating our Postgres ledger tables off Supabase onto a self-hosted Patroni cluster. 300ms p99 → 40ms. Sometimes the boring answer is the right answer."
Variant 1
Specific observationSaw the Patroni migration post — 300ms→40ms is a big jump for a ledger workload. Was that mostly replica routing or did you also rework the index strategy on the journal table?
Why this works: A precise technical observation, no praise. CTOs reply when you take their post seriously enough to ask a sharper question.
Variant 2
ContrarianRead your Patroni post. Curious: for a ledger with ₹-scale rounding, didn't self-hosting Postgres add audit-log surface area you now own? Or are you pushing those to a separate append-only store?
Why this works: Respectfully pokes at a consequence they didn't address. CTOs respond well to being taken seriously as technical peers.
Variant 3
Value-firstIf you're standardizing on Patroni, the Zalando team open-sourced a watchdog pattern for failover that saved us one outage/month — happy to ping the gist if useful. No ask, just paying forward your post.
Why this works: Offers a specific, relevant resource with zero ask. The gist creates a natural reason for them to reply.
Three steps. No Chrome extension. No template library.
We didn’t build yet another template gallery. The whole point is that the DM is about them, not you.
Drop a LinkedIn or X profile link. We pull the bio, headline, and last ~20 posts.
A specific-observation, a contrarian, and a value-first variant — each anchored to a real post. No flattery, no buzzwords.
7 days later we ask if they replied. The data feeds back into the prompt. Your reply rate goes up.
Why ColdDM beats Lemlist, Apollo, and writing it yourself.
We picked the comparisons we’d care about as a buyer. ColdDM wins 8 of 8— and the one we don’t (Manual is free if your time is) we tell you about anyway.

Your 3 free DMs better land a reply, or I'll write the next batch myself.
If your 3 free-trial DMs (sent to real targets, replies tracked through ColdDM) don't get a single response, you don't owe me a thing AND I'll personally write your next 3 DMs by hand. No upgrade, no card, no form. Just email me and tell me what happened.

The questions you’d be right to ask.
Most of these came from sales-team objections we’ve actually heard. If yours isn’t here, email colddm@zohomail.in and we’ll add it.
Where are the testimonials?
We launched in April 2026. We'd rather show you a working product, the exact prompt rules we use, and a real refund guarantee than fake quotes from people who don't exist. Be one of the first 100 founders and your story (with your permission) goes here.
Isn't this just ChatGPT with a UI?
No. ChatGPT doesn't scrape the target's last 20 LinkedIn posts, doesn't enforce a 300-character limit, doesn't ban generic compliments, doesn't track which of your variants got replies, and doesn't compound that data into a better prompt. ColdDM is the workflow + the data loop. The model is a commodity.
Will this get my LinkedIn account banned?
We never log into LinkedIn. We never ask for your password. We scrape only public profile data via Apify (the same way Google does). The DM you send is one you copy and paste manually — exactly as if you'd typed it yourself. No automation = no TOS violation.
Do you store my contacts or my LinkedIn data?
We store: the public profile data of targets you generate DMs for (cached 7 days so we don't re-scrape), your generations, and your reply reports. We never see your inbox, your sent DMs, or your contact list. We don't have access to those.
What if the AI writes something embarrassing?
You see all 3 variants before sending, with the post each one is anchored to and the reasoning behind the angle. You copy, you send. Nothing leaves ColdDM automatically. If a variant is bad, you don't pick it.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. The reply-or-refund guarantee on this page is real — first 5 DMs don't get a single reply, full refund AND a hand-written next batch from me. Beyond that, prorated refund any time, no questions, email colddm@zohomail.in.
Why is it priced in ₹?
We're built for India first. ₹499/month is what an SDR pay-cycle in Bangalore can absorb without a CFO conversation. International cards work via Razorpay, but the price tag is in rupees on purpose.
Built by someone who needed it.
“Every cold-DM tool I tried solved the wrong problem. Lemlist, Apollo, Outreach — they're sequencing engines that assume you already wrote a DM worth sending. The hard part isn't sending faster. It's writing one a human actually opens. ColdDM is that part — and the reply-tracking loop that turns your real outcomes into a smarter prompt next time.”
I'm one person. No marketing team, no SDRs, no investors yet. That means: when you email me, I reply the same day. When the AI writes a bad DM, I see the report and fix the prompt that week. When you ask for a refund, I send it without a form. That's the only edge a solo founder has — and I'm leaning on it.
