Engage

Turn your own LinkedIn network into warm plays. When someone you know connects to a company that just hit a Fundz signal, Engage builds the intro for you — and you send it from your own seat.

What Engage is

Most outreach tools give you a name and a reason to reach out. Engage adds the part that actually gets replies: your relationship. It looks at the companies moving on Fundz signals — a funding round, a new exec, an expansion — and finds where your own first-degree LinkedIn network already touches them. Then it drafts the warm play: a note to the connection who can open the door, and a bridge opener to the decision-maker.

The result is a genuinely warm path instead of a cold one. You show up as a trusted advisor coming through a mutual relationship, at the moment the company has a real reason to talk.

The plays Engage builds

Warm-intro play

When a connection of yours works at a company that just fired a signal, Engage drafts a short note to that connection plus a warm-bridge opener to the decision-maker — so you can ask for the intro with the reason already written.

One-click send on LinkedIn

Ready to go direct? Send the message from your own LinkedIn seat in one click, using the same restrained, from-your-profile rail as a SmartSend LinkedIn nudge.

Decision-maker gift opener

Open with value: a genuinely useful, white-labeled market heads-up drawn from live signals, then the shared-connection bridge, then a soft ask — the lead-with-a-gift approach, applied to a decision-maker.

Reconnect nudge

Engage remembers the relationship. It flags people you have never reached out to (a New tag) and people you last spoke with months ago ("reconnect"), so a fresh signal becomes a natural reason to reach back.

Your weekly network recap

Engage sends a weekly recap of what moved inside your network — for example, "31 signals at 28 companies in your network this week." Each one is a company where you have a relationship and a fresh, real reason to reach out, so you can scan the week's warm openings in a single email and act on the best ones.

How to use it

  1. 1
    Connect your LinkedIn network so Engage can see where you already have relationships (Account → connect LinkedIn / HeyReach seat).
  2. 2
    Open Engage, or scan your weekly network recap, to see the companies where a signal just fired and you have a warm path in.
  3. 3
    Pick a company and a decision-maker, then choose your play: ask a connection for a warm intro, or reach out directly with a one-click LinkedIn send.
  4. 4
    Optionally switch on lead with a market gift to open with a useful market heads-up before any ask. Review and edit the copy, then send from your own seat.
Auto-stops on reply

Like every from-your-seat send in Fundz, an Engage sequence stops the moment the person replies — you never double-message someone who already answered.

Grounded, and always from your seat

Every Engage play is tied to a real signal and your real relationship. It never invents dollar figures or fabricates a connection you do not have — if the grounding is not there, it does not manufacture it. And nothing sends from a shared Fundz account: warm intros and direct nudges alike go out from your own LinkedIn, in your voice.

On Pro and Strategic

Engage is included on the Pro and Strategic plans, with the same warm-intro and send-on-LinkedIn capabilities on both (Strategic differs on daily limits and depth of data). See the current comparison on Plans & Pricing.
