[00:00:00]There's one buying signal that doubles cold email reply rates in 2026 and almost nobody [music] is filtering for it. It's funding. Specifically, companies that raised in last 90 days.

[00:00:10]Here's why it works, three big reasons.

[00:00:15]Money is sitting in their account waiting to be deployed. Budget objections disappear. [music] Number two, they are under pressure to scale.

[00:00:21]Boards expect ROI within two quarters.
