We Built CopyBeats by Accident; Now We Got Cited by Perplexity

Dear investor,

Stefan and I accidentally built something founders (and some VCs) actually want. It started as a tool to scratch our own itch: writing smart, non-cringe content that shows up in AI search and makes people follow you.

The beta’s buggy. But it shows results. By the end of this newsletter, you’ll either want in, or wish you got in earlier.

TL;DR

Grow Your Website Traffic and LinkedIn Following Without the Awkward Self-Promo with CopyBeats!

It writes blogs people actually read and LinkedIn posts that don’t make everyone’s eyes roll. SEO loves it. AI finds it. Your audience follows it.

Here’s what CopyBeats actually does for you:

• Writes AIO/SEO blogs in your voice.

• Turn them into LinkedIn posts that sound like you, not ChatGPT on meth.

• Makes you look like a thought leader, even if you still Google “what is CTR?”

How Many Times You Were in These Situations?

Before You Think “tHeRe’S a LoT oF cOmPeTiToRs”

We know that! Tools like Outrank and Writesonic, just to name a couple. Most of them are solid products. But almost all of them are built for agencies, enterprise teams, or companies with real marketing budgets. You can see it right on their pricing pages.

Founders don’t need bloated tools, massive dashboards, or 50+ content templates. They need speed, clarity, and a way to stay consistent without losing an entire day to writing. The market is crowded, but nobody’s designing for the actual day-one founder; the person juggling product, sales, support, hiring, and somehow still expected to “build in public.”

That’s the gap we’re going after.

+ We Locked Down Distribution Before the Product Was Even Ready

Thanks to our ties with Plug & Play and The Founder Games accelerators, we’re negotiating to get listed as an official perk; right alongside big boys like Google, Amazon, and HubSpot.

That means founders in those networks could grab our tool at a reasonable price. They’ll use it, we’ll get feedback, everyone wins.

As I am writing this, Techstars replied asking to send the material, they find CopyBeats interesting.

The Vision: CopyBeats, Your Ears Inside Every Startup

As thousands of founders write blogs and updates through CopyBeats, we turn that stream of content into structured signals: what’s being built, where markets are moving, and which founders are emerging before anyone else notices. (hence "Beats" in the name)

We plan to aggregate this data into trend report and early signal tool that help VCs, angels, and private equity identify opportunities faster than scraping LinkedIn or waiting for warm intros.

CopyBeats starts as a writing tool and becomes the earliest map of global founder activity.

Turning Newsletter into Distribution (Thanks, Beehiiv)

We’re excited to share that the team at Beehiiv is supporting our journey with CopyBeats. They’ve offered to help amplify our story across their channels, including Slack, social media, and more, if we share how their newsletter tool powered our launch.

Since you’re reading this on Beehiiv, it’s already working. Just another way we’re turning distribution into a feature.

Beta v0.69 Already Brings Results

After weeks of internal testing, it quickly went off the rails because with this buggy beta, I managed to:

• Get cited by Perplexity as a source

• Get inbound lead for my startup Luccid.ai

• +1700% visibility on one blog (for a traditional small business)

Write Your First CopyBeat!

I believe you want to try it for yourself, but please share it with your portfolio startup founders. They need this the most, especially those who haven’t written a blog or posted on LinkedIn since their angel round.

CopyBeats will help them show up, sound sharp, and stay consistent without breaking a sweat.
