THE PLAY / FOR A U.S. COMPANY FORMATION AND COMPLIANCE SERVICE FOR GLOBAL FOUNDERS
Trigger
The agent monitors a global segment of fintech, banking and AI platforms and recommends contacts when a Strategic partnership, Product launch, Product development, Executive hiring, Funding or Tech investment signal fires, capped at 8 a day.
Audience
Heads of partnerships, product managers, product and growth leaders and technical founders at fintechs, banking platforms and AI tools whose own users need to form a U.S. company, get a tax ID or open a U.S. bank account.
Signals the agent reads
- Strategic partnership
- Product launch
- Product development
- Executive hiring
- Funding
- Tech investment
Selling angle
When a platform launches banking, payouts, onboarding or an agent workflow, its users soon ask how to get a U.S. company without leaving the product. The play connects that launch to an embedded formation API: the platform keeps the user, and the formation provider handles the entity, tax ID, registered agent and compliance behind it. It is a partnership conversation, so the ask is a short call, not a sale.
Outreach approach
Five emails, sent automatically, at least three days apart. The first is signal-led with the API angle and one question. The next four shift to the platform's end user, describe how the embed works, ask whether formation is on the roadmap, and close briefly. No more than five agent emails per contact in 90 days without engagement.
- 01 / DAY 1Signal and APINames the launch, partnership or hire, states the job the platform's users need done, and asks one question about it.

- 05 / DAY 13Short closeA two-sentence note offering to reconnect when the roadmap is set.
Advanced instructions (excerpt)
SCOPE OF THIS PLAY: Write only to contacts at companies in the fintech, banking and AI platforms segment, with titles such as Head of Partnerships, Product Manager, VP Product, Head of Growth, CTO or Business Development Lead, or founders of software or AI companies. Offer only the formation API. Do not pitch the plans other plays own, and do not state prices. If the company itself sells company formation, write nothing. SIGNAL DETECTION: For a Strategic partnership or Product launch that adds an AI tool, banking, payments or an agent workflow where users may need a company, lead with that launch. For Product development or Tech investment naming onboarding, banking, payouts or incorporation, lead with that. Mention a hire only when the role is on record, and funding only when the amount and date are on record. If the signal is missing or undated, do not send. HOW TO REACH OUT: Five emails at least three days apart, each with a new angle.
Sample first email
SUBJECT Company formation for your users
Hi [First name], Congratulations on the launch of [Product name]. Once users are set up, the next question is how they get a U.S. company, a tax ID and a bank account without leaving your product. We run a formation API for platform partners. You embed U.S. LLC or C corporation formation, and we handle the tax ID, registered agent and compliance behind it. Would a 15-minute call next week help to see whether it fits [Product name]? If you prefer, grab a time that works for you. Thanks,

Good questions.
Straight answers.
Why a separate play for platforms?
Partners buy an API, not a plan, and the reader is a product or partnerships lead rather than a founder. Mixing them in one play would blur both messages.
Why such a low daily cap?
Platform partnerships are few and each needs a careful, specific note. A cap of 8 protects the sending mailbox while the play proves which signals start conversations.
