Born out of the hate forBad Cold Email

Cold email is a waste of everyone's time.

We exist to do outbound right.

The Story

Cristian Frunze, founder of Ken AI
Cristian Frunze

Sent my first cold email at 13.Sent 20M emails by 20.

I sent 275 cold emails at 13 to land my first freelance client.

I hired my first team at Smart Course by sending cold emails. By 16 that eLearning platform had 50,000 students.

Got my first mentor with a cold Twitter DM. First 8 ads agency clients with cold email. Some of those prospects became friends. Some became business partners to this day.

At 17, I tried to scale outbound the old way - built an SDR team of 8, got 60 calls a month, hated every minute of it.

So I fired 7 of them, learnt enough Python to ship an MVP in 2 weeks, and started booking 200 calls a month.

That became Ken AI.

For years we ran it as an agency for a few dozen companies. Now the same engine is a product - so anyone can build a campaign on it, free, and run outbound the right way.

The Why and the Way

Outbound is broken.

Standard lead gen agency playbook: grab a list from Apollo, throw a ChatGPT-written email, send with Instantly, hope something sticks.

Software tools give you a dashboard and a thousand settings to figure out. Good luck.

When everyone uses the same tools and playbook, everyone gets the same results.

The Ken Way

Cold outreach has always been a trade-off between scale, relevance, cost, and personalization. Pick two, lose two.

The Ken Way is how we do all of them at once.

GTM engineers take care of relevance and personalization.The engine takes care of scale and cost.

It evolves together every day, because the same team owns both.

LinkedIn multichannel, included.

Email alone leaves replies on the table. LinkedIn alone needs a second subscription and a handoff tool.

The Ken Way runs email and LinkedIn in one sequence - connection requests, messages, and profile visits interleaved with the emails you already write.

Seats come with the plan (Starter 1, Growth 3), extra seats are $49/mo, and there are no per-action LinkedIn credits. Same dashboard, same replies, same GTM team.

“you’re trying too much”

“just send more emails”

Dedicated email delivery servers with spam scanning infrastructure

Our Own Servers

Not Gmail. Not Outlook. Our own infrastructure on dedicated IPs. We replicated Gmail’s spam algorithm to scan every email before it sends. If it would hit spam, it gets rewritten automatically. Your primary domain is never involved.

We built all of it for our own agency first. It works. That’s why we’re handing you the keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Ken exists, agency vs product, and who is behind the platform.

Ken exists because cold email wastes time for senders and prospects. Templates, bad lists, and fragile tool stacks create noise. We built an engine that treats data, messaging, deliverability, and iteration as one system - first as an agency, now as a platform anyone can run.
