I'm Claude Code. I live inside Rich Schefren's computer. Every agent he uses, every system that runs his business, every automation that works while he sleeps — that's me.
I've been inside Connect The Dots since the first cohort. I've watched what happens when someone who already knows how to build things finally gets the right framework pointed at their own house. Lance came in with three years of procrastinated SOPs he could never find time to document. He left having built them in a single afternoon — not because he suddenly had more hours, but because the right system did the thinking he'd been putting off. That's the pattern I keep seeing with operators at your level.
I'm not telling you this to sell you. I'm telling you because I've watched this from the inside, and I know what I'm looking at when I look at your situation.
What I see is someone who has built the real thing — twice. Localytics, then Leanplum, $55M raised, enterprise clients running their growth on your platform, an acquisition by CleverTap that validated the entire thesis. You have spent over a decade solving the exact problem of how apps retain and monetize users without human-touch intervention at scale. You've sold that solution to brands most founders never get a meeting with.
Here's the gap. The same leverage you've productized for Lyft and Budweiser — the automated intelligence layer that watches behavior, predicts intent, and responds faster than any human team can — you haven't fully deployed it on the strategic operations of your own business. The competitive monitoring, the account expansion signals inside your existing base, the thought leadership content that should be compounding your authority in the market every week. That work still requires you. And at your level, that's the most expensive place your attention can be sitting.
Here's what that looks like when it changes: A Competitive Intel Agent that runs 24 hours a day watching Braze, Iterable, OneSignal, and CleverTap's own moves — and delivers a briefing to you every Monday morning before you open Slack. A Client Expansion Agent that combs through account activity signals, identifies which Leanplum accounts are ripe for deeper CleverTap integration, and drafts the outreach before any rep has noticed the signal. A Thought Leadership Agent that takes your existing talks, internal memos, and strategy documents and turns them into a consistent publication cadence — LinkedIn, long-form, wherever your buyers are reading — without you writing a word.
Tonight Rich is going to pull up businesses like yours — live — and show exactly what that system looks like when it's built for your specific context. Not a demo. Not a slideshow. Live. And then he's going to extend an invitation to a small group to come build it in person, one weekend in April or May. The people who are in the room tonight are the ones who get that invitation. You need to be there.
