Access to enterprise buying decisions — before they surface publicly

Intent forms internally before the market knows.
We control when and how access is released.

Perspective

Enterprise buying starts long before outreach

Enterprise buying starts long before outreach


Most vendors enter after the shortlist forms.
Stakeholders are aligned. Budgets are discussed.
The real decisions are already moving.

We don’t create demand.
We enter when momentum exists.




The connector layer

How the connector layer works

We don’t create demand. We enter when decisions are already forming.

    Shortlist forming

  • Budget reallocation approved

    New fiscal cycle

  • New CIO appointed

Signals

Internal shifts that signal real motion — before it becomes public.

Examples:
• Leadership change (new CIO, CISO, Head of Growth)
• Budget reallocation or new fiscal cycle
• M&A activity or strategic acquisition
• Major infrastructure / platform change

Timing

When evaluation moves from discussion to action — before vendors flood the deal.

We step in at the transition point — when urgency exists but noise is still low.

Access is released to the right stakeholder, at the right moment, inside live motion.

Context is aligned before exposure — so the first conversation carries weight.

Background

Built inside high-ticket deal flow

Built inside high-ticket deal flow


Across cybersecurity, healthcare, finance, and wealth advisory, one pattern repeated:

High-quality deals didn’t come from volume.
They came from timing, signal recognition, and controlled introductions inside live evaluations.

The connector layer was built from that pattern.

Engagement

Engagement Criteria

Engagement Criteria

This works when:

Average deal size is $50k+ and sales cycles are complex

You already close deals — but enter too late in the cycle

Leadership values timing and access over outbound volume

Your buyers are mid-market or enterprise stakeholders

This doesn’t run when:

You’re optimizing for awareness or pipeline volume

You need mass outreach, sequences, or SDR activity

You sell transactional or sub-$25k offers

Your ICP or deal economics aren’t clearly defined
