I've been stuck at €0 MRR since July.
So I built this for fun. Building it makes me happier than staying at zero.

Your DON'T CONTACT list needs evidence too. A model taught me that.
Our brief said never contact companies that only use Salesforce.
One company in the batch had a job post for a Salesforce Administrator to "maintain and extend our Salesforce CPQ setup."
Easy SKIP, right ?
Claude Opus 5.5 didn't skip it for that. It scored the row and wrote (fictional company, real output) :
"Its text shows Salesforce, but not that it uses only Salesforce."
And it was right. A Salesforce admin job tells you they use Salesforce. It doesn't tell you they only use Salesforce.
It still skipped the row, but for a different reason : "it shows no signal."
Then we added our own check, Salesforce-only confirmed. Now the exclusion applied, and the row said so :
"Rule now confirmed."
Two things I took from it :
→ write exclusions a stranger could check
→ an exclusion you haven't verified is an assumption, in either direction
Cutting a good lead on a guess costs as much as emailing a bad one.
In @looplyhqcom, that's the exclude list : each agent leaves out the companies you name.

What a good signal looks like:
→ it has a date
→ it's about one person
→ you can say it in one line

Claude. Even after it locked me out mid build last month and I had to wait almost an hour to keep going.
Codex can keep my long TSX migrations.

Why would you post your first €400 MRR when you can post a $10K MRR goal with a rocket on it ?
Mine was back to zero by the end of July. Terrible for engagement, surely.

Flai just raised $27M, and its revenue grew 20x in a year.
At its 2025 seed it was 3 people. Now it's about 40.
What got them there, per TechCrunch :
→ Referrals : dealers recommended Flai to other dealers.
→ Speed : the software can be live in a dealership 10 days after signing.
→ Focus : one market, car dealers. Now 10+ of the top 50 US dealer groups.
Half of Flai's revenue now comes from new customers. The rest comes from the ones they already have.
What I'm taking from it for Looply :
→ Make the first customers want to tell others.
→ Cut the time between yes and the first useful thing. @looplyhqcom starts from your website and suggests your ideal customer and the signals to watch.
→ Stay in one market until it's won. Ours is B2B outbound : founders, SDRs, sales teams and agencies.
The CEO says he knows how hard the first customer was.
That part never makes the headline.
