We provide the outbound technology and service. You own the investor relationships.

The engine sends email, warms domains, writes and tests copy, and cleans lists. You run the conversations, own every relationship, and make every fundraising decision. That line never blurs.

What the engine does

Sets up and warms sending domains, validates the list, drafts and A/B tests copy, runs the sequence, and routes replies to your inbox.

What you do

Set the criteria, approve the copy, take the meetings, own every investor relationship, and close your round.

A flat fee for the technology and the work, never a percentage of your raise. You pay for the setup and the operation, independent of any outcome. Nothing we charge is tied to the capital you raise.

The problem

A raise runs on a full-time outbound operation. You already have a full-time job.

Most raise processes stall on the plumbing, not the pitch. The list is messy, the sending domains are cold, authentication is half-configured, the copy is generic, and the follow-up slips. The founder ends up doing inbox operations at midnight instead of building the company. Cold email from an unwarmed domain lands in spam, and a tired founder does not write a sharp fifth follow-up.

That is how a strong company ends up with weak momentum: not because it is unfundable, but because nobody ran the outbound operation properly.

The mechanism

One engine, four systems, run for you.

RaasRocket grew out of the GTM Ventures outbound practice: the same deliverability-obsessed infrastructure, pointed at the raise instead of customer pipeline.

01 · Data

A clean, validated list

We build and clean the outreach list to the criteria you set: stage, category, geography. Every address is verified before a send, so the list protects your domain reputation instead of burning it.

02 · Deliverability

Infrastructure that lands in the inbox

Dedicated sending domains and mailboxes, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured correctly, warmed in a staged ramp before the first real send. The technical reason your email reaches a human.

03 · Copy

Personalized, tested outreach

AI drafts variants tailored to each segment, we A/B test them, and the highest-reply version is selected. You approve the voice. Follow-ups stay on a disciplined cadence.

04 · Execution

Sequencing, replies to your inbox

Campaigns run on a dedicated sending platform with reply handling. Every reply routes straight into your inbox and calendar. You take it from there, and we report weekly on what moved.

The technology stack

The actual engine, layer by layer.

Not a black box. This is the real infrastructure that carries outbound at volume without wrecking your sender reputation.

Layer 01 · Deliverability

Authenticated sending infrastructure

Dedicated sending domains on a proven SMTP backbone, with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication configured on every domain so mailbox providers trust the sender.

Dedicated domainsSendGrid SMTPSPF / DKIM / DMARC
Layer 02 · Warmup

Automated mailbox warmup

A staged ramp builds domain and mailbox reputation before a single real message goes out, roughly a week of warmup first, so volume arrives from a trusted sender, not a cold one.

Staged rampReputation building~7 days first
Layer 03 · List hygiene

Every list validated before send

Addresses are verified and the list is cleaned before any campaign runs. Bounces and traps get removed up front, which is what keeps deliverability and sender reputation intact.

Email verificationBounce removalReputation guard
Layer 04 · Data

Enrichment for accurate targeting

Millions of verified B2B contact profiles feed the list you aim, so the outreach you direct reaches the right inbox with correct, current contact data. It is deliverability and contact tooling, you set the target.

Verified B2B profilesContact enrichmentAccuracy
Layer 05 · Copy

AI copywriting, A/B tested

GPT and Gemini generate copy variants for each segment. Versions are A/B tested in-market and the highest-reply variant is selected automatically. Craft at machine speed, your voice on approval.

GPTGeminiA/B tested
Layer 06 · Execution

Sequencing and reply handling

Campaigns run on a dedicated sending platform (Instantly-class) with multi-step sequencing and reply handling, so cadence is enforced and no thread goes unworked.

Instantly-class platformSequencingReply handling
Layer 07 · CRM

Integrated into your CRM

Activity and replies sync into your CRM so everything is tracked in one place and nothing gets lost between systems.

Layer 08 · Oversight

Human oversight, weekly

A weekly review call on every account. Real operators watch the numbers, tune the copy and cadence, and keep the engine pointed at the right work.

The service

What we run for you, done for you.

The managed service is a technology operation. We stand up and run the engine end to end so you do not have to.

1

Domain and deliverability setup

Dedicated domains and mailboxes provisioned, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured, warmup started from day one.

2

Targeting and list building

We assemble and validate the outreach list to the criteria you define, and clean it before any send.

3

Copywriting

AI-drafted, human-guided copy per segment, A/B tested in-market, highest-reply variant selected. You approve the voice.

4

Sequencing and reply handling

Multi-step campaigns run on a dedicated platform with disciplined follow-up and reply handling.

5

Meeting-booking workflow

Replies route straight into your calendar. You book and own every meeting. We build the workflow; the relationship is yours.

6

Reporting and weekly review

Weekly reporting on sends, replies, and engagement, plus a weekly review call to tune the operation.

Ownership stays with you. The sending domains and mailboxes are yours, under your names and your accounts. When the engagement ends, you keep the infrastructure, the data, and every relationship it touched.
Try the tools

Three things you can use right now.

A working deliverability check, a readiness self-audit, and a look at the copy craft. No signup.

Deliverability Grader

Enter a domain. We query public DNS live and check SPF, DMARC, and a DKIM hint. This reads public records only; it changes nothing.

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are the three records that decide whether your email reaches an inbox or a spam folder. This is exactly the setup our deliverability layer handles for you.

Raise-Readiness CheckIllustrative, not a prediction or guarantee

Six yes or no questions about your materials and process setup. This reflects on your setup only. It does not predict, score, or guarantee any fundraising outcome.

Copy Craft ShowcaseIllustrative sample

Same founder, same company. The difference is craft: deliverability, specificity, and a reason to reply.

Weak, generic
Subject: Investment opportunity Hi there, I am the founder of a fast-growing startup and we are raising our round. We are a world-class platform with huge market potential and would love to get you on board. Let me know if you are interested and I can send our deck. Thanks
Tight, personalized
Subject: quick note on your infra thesis Hi Dana, Your note on developer-tooling margins is why I am writing. We build the deployment layer you described as missing, and three teams now run production on it. We are raising a seed round to go from three design partners to twenty. Deck is two clicks if the shape fits what you back. Worth 15 minutes? Ravi
The rewrite wins on craft: a real subject line that clears filters, a specific hook, concrete traction, a short clear ask, and one crisp question. That is what our copy layer produces, tested and selected on reply rate.
The flight plan

How a three-month engagement runs.

Warmup absorbs the first two weeks, outreach goes live in week three, and the operation compounds from there. That is why the engagement is a three-month package, not a month-to-month experiment. A real raise takes partner conversations that do not close in thirty days. The three-month package is $19,900, a flat fee for the technology and the work.

WEEK 1

Domains and warmup

We stand up the sending environment: dedicated domains and mailboxes under your names, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured, warmup begins immediately.

WEEK 2

List, segments, and copy

We build and clean the list to the criteria you set, define the segments, and draft and test the copy angles for your approval.

WEEK 3

Outreach goes live

Warmup is done, sequences launch, and replies start routing to your inbox. You take the conversations; the engine keeps sending and following up.

WEEK 4+

Follow-up discipline and weekly reporting

Follow-ups run on cadence, copy gets tuned to what replies, and you get a weekly loop showing sends, replies, and engagement, plus the review call.

MONTH 2-3

You work the round

Volume and reply data compound. You run the conversations and work toward your round's hardest milestone, a lead, while the engine keeps outreach and follow-up running underneath you.

Who runs it

Built by operators who have run outbound and lived through a hard raise.

Sunny Ray, co-founder

Sunny co-founded India's first bitcoin exchange (2.5M+ users) and helped fight the central bank to the Supreme Court and win. He knows what a high-stakes process looks like when the window is narrow and the plumbing has to work.

Inside RaasRocket he sets the standard for the outbound operation and the copy: what a first touch has to earn, and how a disciplined process looks when it is run right.

Charles Cormier, co-founder

Charles built the engine: the mailbox infrastructure, warmup, deliverability, sequencing, and volume discipline that most founders never have the time or the tooling to own.

The pairing is the product: outbound infrastructure that actually lands, plus an operator's eye on the copy and the cadence.

The family

Run it yourself, or have it run for you.

Self-serve

RaiseNow.ai

RaiseNow.ai is the war room command center for founders running their own raise: discovery, network mapping, and hyperpersonalized emails, built for sending 10 to 20 personal-email touches yourself. The right wedge when you want your hands on the controls.

When you want the whole engine run for you, that is RaasRocket.

Sister practice

GTM Ventures

GTM Ventures is the outbound and revenue-engine practice this whole engine grew out of: pipeline for B2B teams who have product truth and need distribution discipline. Same infrastructure, pointed at customers instead of a raise.

Important

RaasRocket provides outbound email technology and managed services. We are not a broker-dealer, placement agent, or investment adviser. We do not solicit investors, recommend securities, negotiate securities transactions, or take any compensation tied to the capital you raise. Our fee is a flat charge for the technology and the work, independent of any outcome. You own your sending domains, your mailboxes, and every investor relationship. Every meeting and every fundraising decision is yours.

Podcast-led growth

Your show is the warmest room in your raise.

A cold email starts a thread. An hour of real conversation starts a relationship. We can build and operate a podcast around your company: your show, your name, your audience.

You choose the guests: the investors, partners, and operators you most want in your corner, invited by you, hosted by you. Our technology and service run everything behind the scenes: guest research briefs for your approval, the invitation and scheduling workflow, recording, editing, clips, and distribution. Every conversation, and every relationship that comes out of it, is yours.

The ask

If the round is live, or about to be, let's talk.

Fifteen minutes to see whether your raise and this engine fit. Founders with a live or near-live round, pre-seed through Series A. Engagements run as a three-month package, $19,900 flat fee.
