Rasul Shaikh

AI GTM ENGINEER · EST. 2020 · UNATTENDED SINCE DAY ONE

One engineer, a roster of AI agents. Rasul scopes the strategy - TAM, ICP, personas, 1P/2P/3P signals - then compiles it into pipelines that prospect, personalize, and book revenue unattended. Built with Claude Code, Python, Clay, and n8n.

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.

operating principles

How the operator runs the lab.

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.

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.

03

Unattended by default

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

04

Instrument to revenue

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

track record

Three greenfield builds. Five years in the arena.
