Get One Sticky Team This Week
Goal: One team that runs Ryva 3 times and expects the next one. Realistic odds if you execute this: 70-80%.
Warm Intro, do this first, today
Ask one person who has seen Ryva and liked it to intro you to a CTO they know.
CyberMinds works here even though they cannot pay. They have seen the product work on real data. Ask them: do you know any other dev teams who deal with the same coordination mess? I would love an intro.
One yes from them beats everything below.
Why it is rank 1: the CTO already trusts the source. You skip the entire credibility-building phase.
Time to first run: same day if the intro lands.
Active Pain Threads, today and tomorrow
Find threads posted in the last 48 hours where a CTO or eng manager is actively complaining about standups feeling useless, PRs sitting idle, nobody knowing what is actually decided, or context dying between tools.
Use brain to find them. Reply publicly in the thread with a Ryva run on their repo.
Not a DM. Public. So they see proof before you ever ask for anything.
Why it is rank 2: they are mid-pain when they see it. Trust is instant because you are solving the exact thing they just complained about.
Time to first run: within minutes of your reply if the output is sharp.
White Glove Cold, tomorrow
Find 10 funded startups with a public repo, active commits in the last 30 days, and a CTO identifiable on LinkedIn or GitHub.
Run Ryva on each repo. Find the single sharpest gap. Send one line:
Ran this on your repo. Specific gap, no owner. Still the case?
No pitch. No demo link. Just the gap.
Why it is rank 3: lower trust than the first two, but higher signal than generic outreach because it is specific to their actual code.
Expected reply rate: 1-2 out of 10 if the gaps are sharp.
What makes someone stick across all three runs
The first run gets curiosity. The second run has to show a delta, what changed and what is still unresolved. The third run has to feel like they would be missing something without it.
So after run 1, always end with: I will recheck this after your next PR batch, Wednesday work?
Name the trigger. Name the day. They either confirm or correct it. Either way you own the next move.
What will kill it
Sending a full report dump instead of one sharp gap will kill it. Not embedding the next run trigger in the same message will kill it. Opening new outreach before locking the warm thread that replied will kill it. Spending today on IBX, blog posts, or tooling instead of this list will kill it.
The only metric this week
Did one team ask for the next run without you prompting it?
That is it. Everything else is noise.
