Land your first customers through warm intros
No brand, no case studies, maybe not even a finished product. At this stage, a warm intro is often the only way in. Homie shows which of your target accounts you can already reach, and who can introduce you.

Nobody buys from a stranger with a prototype
Early on, cold outreach rarely lands. You don’t have logos to show or a track record to point to, and your emails look like everyone else’s. What you do have is a network: former colleagues, friends, advisors and everyone they know.
The problem is knowing who in that network can actually get you in. Homie checks your target accounts against everyone your team knows and shows the strongest way into each one.
How it works
Start with a rough idea of who you’re selling to. You can refine it as you learn.
Describe your customer
Tell Homie what kind of company and person you’re looking for, or bring a list of target accounts.
See who you can reach
Homie finds accounts your team is connected to and ranks the paths by how well people know each other.
Ask for the intro
Pick the account, see who knows who, and send a short, specific ask your contact can forward.
Who can get you in, account by account
Every target account comes with its best path, who the intro would come from, and why Homie thinks they know each other.

Make the first ask count
Early intros are a favor. A good ask makes it easy for people to help.
What works
- Ask for one specific person, not “anyone you know”
- Write a note your contact can forward as it is
- Be honest about the stage you’re at
- Thank them, and tell them how it went
What to avoid
- Asking the same contact for several intros at once
- Overselling a product that’s still in progress
- Following up more than once if they don’t reply
- Treating a warm path as a promise

Set up MCP Tools referenceI’m looking for my first customers. My ideal customer is [company type and size] and I want to reach [job title]. Use Homie to read my ICP and find matching companies, then use search_warm_paths to find who in my network can introduce me to each one. Rank them by how well people likely know each other, show the signals behind each path, and give me the five accounts to start with.
Write a short message to [contact] asking whether they’d introduce me to [prospect]. Explain in two sentences what we’re building and why [prospect] might care. Make it easy to forward and easy to decline.
