[Quick Answer: Origami has a built-in email sequencer, so after building a list of recently funded Series B SaaS companies, you can refine, segment, and launch a multi-touch campaign directly from the same platform. No CSV exports, no syncing—just a high-converting 3-touch sequence that lands in the right inboxes.]

If you’ve already followed our parent guide to building a list of Recently Funded Series B SaaS Companies, you have a clean, enriched list sitting inside Origami. Now we’re going to turn that list into replies and meetings—using nothing but Origami’s own sequencer. This post walks through the exact workflow: refine your leads, craft a 3‑touch email sequence that speaks their language, and send it all without leaving the platform.

Everything that follows is based on real campaigns I’ve run targeting Series B SaaS leadership in 2026. The messaging, the cadence, the follow‑up angles—they’re here for you to steal.


Step 1: Build Your List in Origami (You Already Have a Head Start)

Even if you’ve already run the prompt from the parent post, let’s lock in the list so we’re working from the same playbook. Inside Origami, you describe your ideal customer in plain English. Here’s the exact prompt I’d use for recently funded Series B SaaS companies:

“Find recently funded Series B SaaS companies in North America with 50–250 employees, active hiring for sales and marketing roles, who raised $20M+ in the last 6 months. Include VP-level decision makers in Sales, RevOps, and Marketing.”

In about 30 seconds, Origami returns a list with verified names, work emails, direct phone numbers, company size, funding details, and even the tech tools they use. Every lead is enriched and ready to qualify—no manual data scrubbing. The free plan gives you 1,000 credits (no credit card), so you can easily build a seed list of 200–300 contacts to test your messaging. On paid plans from $29/month, you scale from there.

Because you already have the list, this step is effectively done. But if you want to start fresh or expand, just tweak the prompt and re‑run. The key is that the list lives inside Origami, so our next move is refining, not rebuilding.


Step 2: Refine and Qualify Your List for Cold Outreach

A recently funded Series B company isn’t a monolithic block. You’ll get replies (and meetings) only if you reach the right person with the right message at the right moment. Spend 15 minutes qualifying your list before you write a single email.

Segment by role and seniority

  • VP of Sales / CRO: Owns the revenue number. They feel the pressure to deploy capital fast and show a return. If your solution shortens time‑to‑revenue or improves rep productivity, start here.
  • VP of Marketing / Demand Gen Lead: Often the first one tasked with “building pipeline” post‑funding. They’re evaluating tools that reduce customer acquisition cost. If you automate lead generation or campaign execution, they’ll listen.
  • Head of RevOps / COO: Responsible for tool consolidation and process efficiency. Series B usually brings a mandate to get rid of 12 different point solutions and stitch together a predictable revenue engine. If you replace 2–3 tools or improve data flow, lead with that.
  • CEO / Founder: Include them only if you sell a high‑touch, strategic partnership (think six‑figure ACV). Otherwise, they’ll just forward your email to the VPs above.

Using Origami’s contact cards, I tag each lead with a segment label and remove anyone who doesn’t fit. For example, a “VP of Engineering” or “Head of HR” is rarely your buyer in an initial outreach—drop them. You can also filter by location if you’re prioritizing a specific geo.

What “qualified” looks like in 2026

A lead is ready to email when you can say yes to at least two of these:

  • Company closed a Series B (or above) within the last 180 days
  • They’re actively hiring for sales or marketing roles (Origami flags recent job postings)
  • Their team size is 50–200+, indicating they’ve moved past founder‑led sales
  • They show signs of tool sprawl (multiple CRMs, marketing automation platforms, or data tools in Origami’s enrichment)

The sweet spot: a VP of Sales at a 120‑person company that raised $30M three months ago and is hiring five account executives right now. That’s the signal that budget exists and headcount alone won’t fix their growth problem.

Quick list‑cleaning routine

  1. Skim the company names and remove any that are obviously outside your ICP (e.g., they serve a vertical you don’t support).
  2. Check the enriched email status—Origami marks invalid or catch‑all addresses. Drop anything below 90% confidence.
  3. Scan for obvious competitors; if you sell a sales engagement tool and they’re already using Outreach, maybe you keep them (competitive replacement), but be intentional.
  4. Break the list into batches of 50–75 for the first send. This lets you test the sequence before scaling.

Step 3: Create the Email Sequence (Two Ways to Build It)

Origami’s email sequencer lives right inside your project. You don’t need to copy‑paste leads into another tool. There are two paths to building your sequence, and both work.

Option 1: Paste your own templates. Write your 3‑touch sequence directly in Origami. For each step, you paste the subject line, preview text, and body. Set the delay between steps (I recommend Day 1, Day 3, Day 7). Hit Launch and the sequencer handles the rest.

Option 2: Let the AI agent write it for you. Inside Origami, you can ask the AI agent to generate a personalized 3‑day sequence that adapts to each lead’s title, company, and industry. The agent reads the enriched data for every contact and writes messages that feel custom. It’s a huge time‑saver if you’re managing multiple personas or don’t want to draft from scratch. For this guide, I’ll share the exact human‑crafted sequence I’ve seen work—you can paste it in or use it as a prompt for the AI.


The 3‑Touch Sequence: Real Copy You Can Copy‑Paste

These messages are designed for Series B SaaS leaders who just raised capital. They speak to the specific pressure to grow fast, hire intelligently, and keep the tech stack from becoming a hairball. Each email is under 100 words, direct, and includes a natural call‑to‑action. Use and personalization fields—Origami auto‑fills them before send.

Day 1 (Cold email — sent on a Tuesday morning)

Subject: Quick question about ’s post‑Series B roadmap
Preview text: Saw your funding news — congrats.

Body:

Hi ,

Congratulations on the recent Series B. I know the 12 months post‑funding are a sprint: scaling sales, onboarding new hires, and keeping your tech stack from turning into a hairball.

We help Series B SaaS teams like [Name a relevant customer] cut tool sprawl and get to their first $10M in ARR without doubling headcount. Worth a 15‑minute chat to see if we can do the same for ?

Day 3 (Follow‑up with a different angle — sent on Thursday)

Subject: One thing I’m hearing from Series B leaders
Preview text: Not about our product — about the pressure.

Body:

, quick follow‑up. Spoke with three Series B CROs this week. Each said the same thing: “We have the budget, but we can’t hire fast enough to hit our numbers.”

That’s why they’re adopting tools that automate what used to take a team of five. I’ve attached a one‑pager showing how we helped a similar SaaS company double pipeline with a lean team. If that resonates, happy to walk you through it.

Day 7 (Breakup email — sent the following Monday)

Subject: Last try, — leaving this here
Preview text: If/when scaling becomes a blocker.

Body:

, I know you’re busy, so I’ll keep this short.

Most of our conversations with Series B teams start when they realize hiring alone won’t hit the board’s growth targets. If that ever becomes a pain point, here’s my calendar link for a quick call. Otherwise, I’ll stop here.

Wishing you a strong Q2.


A few notes on why this sequence works:

  • It acknowledges their new capital but doesn’t sound transactional (“use our thing because you have money” is a turn‑off).
  • The follow‑up introduces social proof and concrete numbers without overpromising.
  • The breakup email removes pressure, which often triggers a reply from someone who was simply overwhelmed. Attach a calendar link, not a meeting request.

If you’re using Option 2 (the AI agent), you can feed it a brief like “Generate a 3‑step sequence for Series B SaaS execs, focusing on scaling pain, tool consolidation, and hitting revenue targets. Keep it under 100 words per email.” and then review the output before launch.


Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami (No Exports, No Syncing)

This is where Origami becomes a full‑stack outreach engine. You don’t leave the platform. You don’t export a CSV, upload it to a separate sequencer, or sync two tools that keep breaking. Everything happens in one place.

Launching your campaign

  1. Inside your project, select the refined list of leads.
  2. Click “Create sequence” and choose one of the two build paths above.
  3. Set your touch delays: Day 1 → 3‑day wait → Day 3 → 4‑day wait → Day 7. Origami can handle any cadence you want.
  4. Confirm that the “Unenroll on reply” toggle is on (it is by default). This ensures that when a prospect replies “Sure, let’s talk,” they automatically exit the sequence and won’t receive the breakup message three days later.
  5. Hit Launch.

Origami’s sequencer sends the emails from your connected mailbox. There’s no additional send‑fee; the sequencer is included on all paid plans. You only pay for the credits used to enrich leads. The free plan gives you enough credits to test a small campaign; to scale, plans start at $29/month.

Tracking opens, clicks, and replies — without switching tabs

Back in your Origami dashboard, you’ll see a live feed of activity:

  • Open and click data per contact
  • Reply tracking with sentiment flags (positive, neutral, out‑of‑office)
  • Automatic removal of bounced addresses

What’s more, in the same view where you see a contact’s engagement, you can still see their enriched profile: title, company, funding round, tech stack. So when someone opens your email twice but doesn’t reply, you’re not staring at a name in a vacuum. You know that they’re a VP of Sales at a 90‑person company that just raised $25M and uses HubSpot and SalesLoft. That context tells you exactly why they’re a good fit and makes your follow‑up feel educated, not creepy.

What response rate to expect

For a highly targeted list of 100 Series B decision‑makers, expect a 10–20% reply rate if the list is tight and the messaging matches their pain points. In my experience, the Day 3 follow‑up often generates more replies than the initial email—people need a second nudge. The breakup on Day 7 usually pulls another 3‑5% out of the woodwork, often with a “I’m interested but swamped, can we talk next week?”

If you’re below 8% reply rate after two rounds, don’t immediately junk the list. Iterate:

  • Test a different subject line that references a specific trigger (e.g., “Noticed you’re hiring 5 AEs”).
  • Swap the angle from “cut tool sprawl” to “shorten ramp time for new hires.”
  • Tighten the list further; maybe you were too broad on title or company size.

Sometimes the list is fine but the value prop needs tuning. Other times the list needs pruning. Do both in Origami without toggling between apps.

Automatic un‑enrollment keeps it human

One of the biggest email faux pas is sending a breakup message after someone already agreed to a meeting. Origami’s sequencer automatically un‑enrolls a contact the moment they reply. You don’t have to remember to manually remove them. It’s a small thing that saves your reputation and your inbox from awkwardness.


Wrapping Up: One Platform, One Workflow

Most outreach advice tells you to build a list in one tool, enrich in another, and sequence in a third. That fragmentation kills momentum and makes it impossible to iterate at speed.

With Origami, the loop is closed: find recently funded Series B SaaS companies using a natural‑language prompt, qualify them with built‑in enrichment, craft a 3‑touch sequence that actually speaks their language, and send it all from the same screen—tracking opens, clicks, and replies as the data flows in. And if you’re not ready to pay, the free plan gives you the full experience with 1,000 credits and no credit card.

If you haven’t yet built your list, jump back to how to find recently funded Series B SaaS companies and come right back here. Then paste the sequence, hit Launch, and start filling your calendar with conversations that matter.
