Your AI-powered outbound intelligence system. Designed to win.

Kickoff
April 13, 2026

Before We Start

A few things to get in place so we hit the ground running on April 13.

Setting Up
April 7-12
  • Assign your Champion Cobalt
    One person who's our main point of contact for feedback, approvals, and check-ins
  • Set up shared communication channel Cobalt
    Slack, Google Chat, or your preferred tool. Add Amit so we can communicate, share files, and move fast.
  • Share HubSpot access Cobalt
    So we can see your existing pipeline and integrate lead tracking
  • Share existing materials Cobalt
    Whatever you have: product deck, investor presentation, outreach examples, customer call notes. Drop everything in our shared Google Drive folder.
  • Sign up for Instantly.ai Together
    No rush on this one. We can set it up together in Week 1 if you prefer. We handle warmup, domains, and configuration.
  • Schedule kickoff discovery session Together
    60 min deep dive on ICP, triggers, positioning, and voice. This is where we build the foundation.
