X >_ XEME AI-NATIVE GTM LAB
FOR AI COMPANIES · SEED → SERIES B

Go-to-market,
run by agents.

Xeme is an AI-native GTM lab for venture-backed AI companies. We compile strategy - TAM, ICP, personas, signals - into agent pipelines that prospect, personalize, and book revenue unattended. Built in Clay, n8n, Python, and Claude Code. You own the stack.

how it runs

Signal it. Compile it. Ship it. Attribute it.

One loop, end to end. Most teams run these as four departments; the lab runs them as one pipeline.

01

signal

Job posts, stack changes, funding events, site visits. The lab watches who is buying this week, not who exists.

02

compile

TAM, ICP, personas, and channel plan get compiled into agent configs before anything is wired.

03

ship

Agents research, personalize, send, route, and follow up - unattended, across email, LinkedIn, and ABM pages.

04

attribute

Every meeting and dollar traces back to the agent that sourced it. What doesn't attribute gets killed.

the problem

The board math after a raise.

The deck promised pipeline. Now the board expects roughly 3x pipeline growth on a budget that funds 1.2x headcount. The old answer was an SDR team and an agency retainer. The AI-native answer is a compounding system run by agents - with humans only on judgment and deals.

HEADCOUNT THE BUDGET FUNDS

A fast engine pointed at the wrong market is expensive noise. So strategy compiles first - then the roster takes over.

the roster

The GTM org chart, collapsed into software.

Every agent below is live in production - built, shipped, and attributed to revenue. Humans handle judgment and deals; the roster handles everything else. Nobody at the lab manages people; the operator manages agents. The two flagship engines are broken down node by node below.

inside the engines

Node by node.
Nothing hidden.

Most agencies show you a logo wall. The lab shows you the pipeline diagrams. These are the production systems behind the numbers - every stage named, every tool listed, every output measured.

The 7-Stage Personalization Engine

engine/01 · email · RUNNING
INPUT: raw contact + account from the signal layer  →  OUTPUT: a sequenced, per-contact email - written, scored, and shipped with zero human review

Personalization is not a first-name merge tag. It is a research pipeline that ends in a sentence only this prospect could receive. Every contact that enters the queue passes through seven stages before a single word is sent.

S1/7

role-map

Parse the contact: title, seniority, team scope, tenure. Map to a persona with a KPI hypothesis - what number is this person judged on, and what breaks it.

Clay · Sales Navigator · Claude Code
S2/7

company-intel

Crawl the account: site, docs, pricing, changelog, careers page. Headless rendering for JS-heavy pages, so modern AI-company sites read the same as static ones.

Firecrawl · Playwright · deepline-CLI
S3/7

signal-context

Attach the trigger that put them in queue - the job post, the stack change, the repeat site visit, the LinkedIn engagement - with a timestamp. Timing is the personalization.

Trigify · TheirStack · RB2B · PhantomBuster
S4/7

gap-analysis

Compare their current motion against category benchmarks - search visibility, AI Share of Voice, outbound footprint, hiring pattern - and isolate the one credible gap worth naming in writing.

Ahrefs · SEMrush data · Claude Code
S5/7

positioning

Choose the angle for this specific contact: displacement, expansion, or timing. One claim, one proof point, mapped to the KPI from stage one. No angle survives without evidence attached.

Claude Code · prompt library
S6/7

generation

Draft the email: subject plus a body under 90 words. First line references the signal, middle carries the gap, close is a single low-friction CTA. Style rules enforced by rubric, not vibes.

Claude Code · OpenAI · Clay
S7/7

qa-score + ship

A second model grades factuality, specificity, and spam risk from 0-10. Below threshold, it regenerates with the failure reason in context. Above, it routes to mailbox rotation and enters sequence. No human reads it first.

1.5%+ positive replies across 150+ sending domains · 95%+ deliverability sustained

The Signal-Led ABM Engine

engine/02 · abm · RUNNING
INPUT: a tiered target-account list, ranked by live buying signals  →  OUTPUT: a warmed, multi-threaded account with a briefed human walking into the meeting

ABM usually means a slide and a Sales Nav list. Here it means a per-account asset the buyer can visit, a feedback loop that watches them visit it, and a sequence that reacts in the same hour. Built for six-figure deals where three stakeholders have to say yes.

S1/6

account-select

Tier the list on signals, not firmographics alone: fresh funding, GTM hiring, stack adoption, engagement history. Tier 1 gets the full treatment below; Tier 2 and 3 get scaled versions.

Clay · Common Room · Bombora · TheirStack
S2/6

47+ data points per account: team map, tech stack, active initiatives, content footprint, and a baseline of their Share of Answer and AI Share of Voice in their own category.

S3/6

asset-build

A personalized landing page per account - their name, their gap analysis, their numbers - generated from a template system and visit-tracked. Tier 1 accounts also get a per-account video recorded against that page.

500+ pages shipped · Sendspark · OpenAI

orchestrate

Multi-channel sequencing timed off the original signal: email carries the page, LinkedIn carries the relationship, and every touch lands inside the buying window rather than a static cadence.

Smartlead · HeyReach · n8n
S5/6

intent-loop

Page revisits, video watch-through, reply sentiment, and de-anonymized colleague visits re-score the account in real time. When an account heats up, the closer gets a Slack ping while it is still hot.

RB2B · webhooks · LLM scoring · Slack
S6/6

handoff

The human enters with a full context brief in the CRM: signal history, assets viewed, stakeholders touched, suggested talking points. Agents did the 95%; the closer does the 5% that matters.

the build

Thirty days, instrumented.

The Sprint is not a discovery phase. It is a build schedule with dated deliverables, and it has shipped three greenfield engines on this exact cadence.

DAYS 00-03

compile

Strategy sprint: TAM, ICP, personas, signal selection, channel plan. Nothing gets wired before this ships. Roughly two hours of founder time.

DAYS 03-07

infra

Domains, mailboxes, warm-up, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, CRM instrumentation. The signal layer goes live and starts capturing.

DAYS 08-14

engines

Personalization and ABM engines shipped. First sequences in flight; QA rubrics tuned on live sends, not test data.

DAYS 15-21

meetings

First qualified meetings land. Speed-to-lead goes live on inbound. Iteration driven by reply data, per contact tier.

DAYS 22-30

attribute

Attribution dashboard, runbooks, and handoff docs. Every dollar traceable to an agent. You own everything; the Lab is optional from here.

operating system

Four laws of the lab.

LAW 01

Strategy compiles first

TAM, ICP, personas, and signal selection are decided before a single tool is wired. A fast engine pointed at the wrong market is expensive noise.

LAW 02

Signals over lists

Static lists say who exists. Signals - job posts, stack changes, visits, engagement - say who is buying this week. The lab sequences on the second.

LAW 03

Unattended by default

If a pipeline needs a babysitter, it is not finished. Agents score, retry, branch, and ship copy without review.

LAW 04

Instrument to revenue

Reply rates are diagnostics; ARR is the metric. Every agent attributes to closed-won or gets killed.

AI GTM ENGINEER · EST. 2020
LinkedIn ↗ Full track record →

Xeme is run by Rasul Shaikh - an engineer with three greenfield GTM builds attributed to revenue, shipped in Clay, Python, n8n, and Claude Code. Production systems that run unattended, not agency decks.

You work with the person who builds the system. Scoping, architecture, shipping, attribution - one brain, zero handoffs. Capacity is capped at two builds per month for exactly that reason.

questions

The hard questions, answered.

Everything a skeptical founder or first GTM hire asks before wiring the lab into their motion.

Who is a fit? +

Venture-backed AI/ML companies from Seed to Series B with a sales-led or hybrid motion - founders doing founder-led sales, first GTM hires, or revenue leaders whose SDR math stopped working. Not a fit: pure PLG with no sales motion, or anyone who wants rented SDR bodies.

Why not just hire an SDR? +

Hire one - later, for the judgment work. An SDR doing manual research and sends costs more than a Sprint per quarter and produces less pipeline than an instrumented engine. The teams that win give their best person agents, not a team to manage.

Do we own the stack? +

Yes. Everything is built inside your infrastructure - Clay, HubSpot or Attio, n8n, sending tools, domains. When we part ways, the engine stays and keeps running. No lock-in.

How fast until it produces? +

The engine goes live in under a week. First qualified meetings typically land by week 3, with the full system instrumented at 30 days. The day-by-day schedule is published above.

What do you need from us? +

Roughly two hours of founder or GTM-lead time in the first week for the strategy compile, access to your CRM and domains, and sign-off on the signal plan. After that the roster runs; you take the meetings.

We already run Clay and outbound. Still useful? +

Usually the most useful case. Most Sprints start from a half-built stack: the Teardown maps what to keep, and the Sprint rebuilds the engine around it instead of starting over. Existing tools lower the build time, not the value.

How does pricing work? +

Fixed-fee Sprint, flat monthly Lab subscription, with an optional performance kicker on closed-won revenue. Incentives aligned, cash flow sane, no attribution fights. Prices are printed on this page on purpose.

How do you handle deliverability? +

Multi-domain setup, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, warm-up protocols, and inbox rotation - 95%+ deliverability sustained across 150+ domains in production, not on a slide. Volume scales only as reputation allows.

Who actually does the work? +

The engineer. No juniors, no offshore pods, no handoffs - which is also why capacity is capped at two builds per month. The agents do the volume; one human does the judgment.

What happens when the engagement ends? +

The engine stays. It lives in your accounts with runbooks and handoff docs, and Lab clients get a 30-day wind-down with a full transfer session. Systems that only work while you pay a retainer are not systems.
