For founders of B2B companies with 10–50 employees, scaling outreach without expanding the team is a pressing challenge. While tools like Unify and Artisan offer solutions, they often come with complexities that can hinder efficiency.
Valley emerges as a streamlined alternative, focusing on LinkedIn excellence, ease of use, and safeguarding your personal brand.
Scaling Outreach Without Scaling the Team
As a founder, your time is invaluable. Balancing product development, team management, and sales outreach can be overwhelming. Traditional prospecting methods are time-consuming and often ineffective. You need a solution that:
Automates outreach without compromising personalization.
Protects your personal brand on LinkedIn.
Delivers results without requiring extensive setup or a steep learning curve.

Steep Learning Curve: Requires significant setup and configuration, which can be time-consuming.
Less Emphasis on Personalization: Focuses more on signals than crafting personalized messages.
