Building the intent layer for B2B outbound. LinkedIn-first agents that find buyers showing real timing signals — job changes, funding, hiring, competitor engagement.

## Why I'm building CatchIntent

Outbound is broken because most teams send into a list, not at a moment. The list approach treats every contact as equally likely to buy on every day. The reality is that B2B buying happens in bursts — when a new VP of Sales shows up, when a round closes, when a team hires its first five SDRs.

I started CatchIntent to make those bursts findable. The product runs LinkedIn-first agents that watch for those moments, scores them, and drafts an opener your SDR can actually send. Reading the queue should feel like reading a list of people who have a problem you can solve *this week*, not a CSV of names with no context.

Before this I spent years building software across startups and large engineering teams. Every team I worked with had the same problem: the SDRs were busy, but they were busy on the wrong people. The intent signals were public; nobody was assembling them.

That's the company now. We're a small team, the operator is hands-on, and the product narrative is one thing: the intent layer for B2B outbound. If that's a problem you have, I want to hear about it. [team@catchintent.com](mailto:team@catchintent.com) reaches me.
