FAQ
What is Outreachr and who is it for?
Outreachr is a free, open-source fundraising operating system designed for founders raising pre-seed, seed, or Series A rounds. It provides a local-first workspace to manage investor research, pipeline stages, meetings, and outreach.
How does Outreachr handle my private data and privacy?
Outreachr uses a local-first approach where your workspace is stored in a single local SQLite vault. It has no application server or product accounts. Data only leaves your device during founder-initiated actions like sending an approved email or syncing a calendar.
Can the AI agents send emails on my behalf?
No. While you can use Codex or Claude as collaborators to draft proposals or research, they cannot send emails or bypass founder approval. Outreachr enforces strict sending boundaries, including a limit of one initial message per person.
What integrations are supported by the platform?
Outreachr supports Gmail and Google Calendar, Outlook and Microsoft Calendar, OpenAI Codex, and Anthropic Claude. All integrations are optional and require founder-created credentials or API keys.
How can I install Outreachr on my machine?
You can download packaged releases for macOS, Windows, or Linux from the GitHub Releases page. Alternatively, you can build from source using pnpm after running 'corepack enable'.
