Give this to your agent
Using RouterGrowth, run this workflow: Find seed-stage startups that raised a seed round in the last 90 days and email their founders. 300 companies, 1 contact each, three-step sequence. Show me the price before every call, and stop after each stage with a sample of the results so I can adjust. 1. Source the accounts: company.search x 30 searches. Companies matching the industry, size and location, ten or so per search. 2. Qualify on the signal: company.funding x 300 companies. Keep the accounts where the trigger is real; the rest never reach outreach. 3. Find the people: people.search x 300 profiles. 1 contact per account by title and seniority, with current role. 4. Get the contact: contact.find x 210 (300 tried, 70% found), contact.verify x 210 verdicts. Charged on a match only: a miss is free, so the estimate is a ceiling. 5. Context for the first line: web.scrape x 300 pages. One page per account and a few recent posts per person, so the opener is about them. 6. Run the outreach: email.send x 567 (189 contacts x 3 steps). Sequence from inboxes on a domain you own, one call per email. 7. Read the replies: email.messages x 57 inbox reads. Poll the inboxes, classify replies, hand the warm ones to a human. Before sending: email.domain x 1, email.inbox x 1, on a domain I own. Budget for one run: about $20.91 plus $4.66 one-time setup. Run routergrowth inspect on any capability before the first call to confirm the quote.

Why it works
A seed founder still buys everything personally, decides in days and answers their own email. The weeks after the round are when the first tools get chosen.
Fresh capital means new hires, new tools and a board that expects growth. The window after a round closes is when budgets are set. These workflows source companies in a segment, keep the ones that raised recently, find the buyer named in the brief and open with the round as the reason for reaching out.
The first line, as your agent would write it
Saw the seed round announcement. Now that the runway is there, what is the first thing you are taking off your own plate?
The workflow
7 stages and 1,974 calls on one key. Every call is quoted and reserved before it runs, and a lookup that finds nothing releases the hold.
Companies matching the industry, size and location, ten or so per search.
Keep the accounts where the trigger is real; the rest never reach outreach.
1 contact per account by title and seniority, with current role.
Charged on a match only: a miss is free, so the estimate is a ceiling.
One page per account and a few recent posts per person, so the opener is about them.
Poll the inboxes, classify replies, hand the warm ones to a human.
Sending infrastructure you own: a verified domain and enough inboxes for the daily limit. Charged once, reused on every run.
The receipt
About $20.91 for the whole run, plus $4.66 once for the sending inboxes. No subscription and no seats: each call is paid from a prepaid balance at the price shown before it runs.

FAQ
company.search sources companies in the segment and company.funding returns each one's rounds with amounts, dates and investors. The agent keeps the companies whose latest round falls inside the window you set, for example the last 90 days.
Inside the first quarter. Hiring plans and tool budgets are set in the weeks after the money lands, and the announcement is still a natural reason to write.
At seed, the founder. From Series A, the leader of the function the round is meant to grow: the CTO, the VP of Marketing, the head of sales. Each workflow names the title it looks for.
No. company.funding is charged only when funding data exists for the company, and the contact lookups that follow are charged on a match only, so an account dropped at the signal stage costs nothing further.
About $20.91 for one run of 1,974 calls, plus $4.66 once for the sending inboxes. Each call is quoted before it runs and a lookup that finds nothing is not charged, so the figure is a ceiling. There is no subscription: the run is paid from a prepaid balance.
