Founders

Two hundred a day, fifteen of which matter.

Pidgy is an AI email assistant for founders. It sorts your inbox before you open it, counts the days on every investor, customer and candidate who is waiting on you, drafts the reply in your words, and turns what you promised in a thread at midnight into work your team can see.

of the working week goes to email, before any real work is opened.

Everything is important. Fifteen things are urgent. You will find out which on Friday.

The investor wants a reply. The enterprise prospect sent a security questionnaire twelve days ago and it is still with you, because it is forty questions and none of them is the product. The candidate you want is deciding. The accountant needs minutes.

It is that nothing counts the days on the things only you can answer. Five hundred a day, and the deal that stalls is the one where the other side stopped hearing from you.

Pidgy does not run the company.

Four things it does before you have opened anything.

Term sheet

Term sheet attached, as discussed. Two things before we can move: we need the updated cap table and your answer on the board seat by Monday, when the offer expires. Happy to jump on a call over the weekend.

And then the rest of the day.

Five more things Pidgy does between an email landing and the round closing.

  1. Replies

    Three ways to answer it. Or your own words.

    Every thread that needs a reply gets three, and they are the three things you would most plausibly say back given what the investor or the customer asked.

    Dear Marc, updated cap table attached. On the board seat: I want to say yes, and I want to say it having spoken to my co-founder and our first angel, which happens Friday. You will have a written answer Saturday, inside your deadline.

  2. Projects

    And it adds up to a picture.

    The round becomes a project. So does the enterprise deal, and the hire. What is agreed, what is outstanding, who has it, and the date it expires.

  3. Ask Pidgy

    Or just ask it.

    “What is waiting on me that expires this week?” is a question you answer today at midnight, scrolling.

    Ask Pidgy

    Your day on one side, the work on the other.

    You drag one into the other, and a week with a term sheet and a questionnaire in it looks that way on Monday.

  5. Contacts

    You already know who never answers. Now you can prove it.

    Every investor, customer and candidate becomes a contact, with how long they usually take, how often they opened the conversation, and what is outstanding. The investor who replies in an hour and the one who takes a week are different conversations.

Illustrative data from no real company

Before you let anything near a client mailbox.

You click send

Pidgy drafts. It has no permission to send on your behalf, and there is no setting that grants one.

Hosted in the EU

Data residency in the EU, scoped per mailbox, DPA on request. Export or purge whenever you want.

It never deletes

Nothing is archived, moved, marked read or thrown away. Your mailbox is exactly where you left it.

Never trains on you

Correspondence builds your lists and your drafts. It is never used to train a model, ours or anyone else's.

Questions founders ask

What does it cost?+

Per mailbox, monthly, published when we open to everyone. The first group is free. Asking for a place costs nothing and connects nothing.

I have an assistant. Why this?+

Your assistant sees the calendar. Pidgy sees the threads, and it counts the days on the things only you can answer. The two work together: the assistant plans the week, Pidgy tells both of you what is quietly expiring.

Is investor and customer correspondence used to train a model?+

No. Processing happens in the EU, scoped to the mailboxes you connect, under a data processing agreement we sign.

What can it see, exactly?+

The mailboxes you connect, and only those. Your CRM, your data room and your phone are invisible to it.

Does it send anything by itself?+

No. It drafts, you send. No send permission is ever requested, and there is no setting that grants one. With an investor thread, that is the point.

Can my whole team use it?+

Each person connects their own mailbox and sees their own lists. Shared mailboxes work too; everyone sees what they could already see. Pidgy never widens access.

A first group, chosen by hand.

Pidgy opens to a small number of founders before anyone else, and we pick them ourselves. Tell us what you are building and we will be in touch.
