Startup founder and accelerator demo-day follow-ups
Hand stacks after pitch events: hero case-study crop, outcome metric, and "2-week audit slots open." Back: process timeline, deliverables list, and booking QR.
Demo-day follow-up essentials
- Metric: one defensible outcome - conversion, support tickets, task completion time.
- Crop: best UI screen anonymized per NDA - no live user data visible.
- Specialization tag: "B2B SaaS onboarding" routes to right hiring manager.
- Booking QR: lands on current availability, not stale Calendly link.
2500 best-value runs cover quarterly demo-day seasons plus cold outreach to funded seed rounds.
Agency and in-house recruiter partnership leave-behinds
"Contract UX - embedded with your product squad, NDA-ready." Slim card lists hourly vs sprint pricing and timezone overlap on back.
Agency recruiters and in-house talent teams compare contractors on tool stack and embed readiness - list Figma, research ops, and design-system experience explicitly. Writable back for hiring manager name and requisition number during intake calls.
Hand stacks at design hiring mixers and mail to product VPs at companies posting senior UX roles - warm event context converts higher than cold LinkedIn InMail.
Product-team workshop and design-sprint facilitation promos
"Facilitate your next design sprint - 5 days, shipped prototype." Writable back for stakeholder names during discovery calls.
Product teams book sprint facilitators when roadmap pressure peaks before quarterly planning. Back panel: day-by-day sprint agenda, deliverables at day five, and team size requirements. Include prior sprint client logo strip if NDA permits.
Mail to VP Product at companies posting design-system or research roles - workshop pitch converts when internal facilitation capacity is overloaded.
Healthcare and fintech compliance-sensitive vertical pitches
Vertical-specific card: "HIPAA-aware patient portals - portfolio under NDA." Targets regulated industries skeptical of generic portfolios.
Healthcare and fintech buyers need compliance language before reviewing case studies - mention HIPAA awareness, SOC2 familiarity, or financial data handling on front subhead. Separate card from SaaS creative; same matte grid with swapped vertical screenshot and compliance bullets.
Mail to hospital innovation teams and fintech product leads when RFP windows open - regulated buyers file vendor cards in compliance review folders.
Reactivation mail to lapsed product-team clients
"New research methods for your Q3 roadmap" - reference prior project name when CRM supports personalization.
