Orlin —
Thursday night I'm doing something I've never done publicly.

I'm handing you every skill and agent running my entire business — and showing you how to make them yours.

Two days. Small group. My house.

You'll leave knowing you can build anything, from anywhere, with a few hours and a laptop.

This doesn't come around again.

Connect The Dots
Orlin —

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.

Mobile Growth & App Engagement
Orlin R
US
"He built a $55M-funded platform that helps other companies automate their user engagement — while his own firm's operational intelligence still depends on him showing up every day."
What They Do
Orlin is CEO and Co-Founder of Leanplum, a mobile marketing automation platform acquired by CleverTap in 2020. Leanplum helps mobile apps drive user engagement, retention, and monetization through data-driven automation — serving enterprise clients including Budweiser and Lyft. He previously co-founded Localytics, a mobile analytics firm acquired by Upland Software.
What We Found
Two successful exits in mobile tech. Leanplum raised $55M+ in venture funding before the CleverTap acquisition. Orlin is based in Sofia, Bulgaria with a computer science background from Sofia University and early engineering experience at VMware. He is a recognized speaker on growth hacking and app monetization with 500+ LinkedIn connections and an established professional network in the mobile ecosystem.
The Gap
Leanplum's core product is intelligent automation for user engagement — yet the strategic intelligence layer of the business itself (competitive monitoring, account expansion identification, thought leadership output) still runs on founder bandwidth. The operator most qualified to understand the value of automated intelligence hasn't fully deployed it on his own operation.
The Opportunity
Three high-leverage AI systems: (1) a Competitive Intel Agent monitoring the mobile marketing automation space and delivering weekly positioning briefings; (2) a Client Expansion Agent identifying upsell and cross-sell signals across the existing Leanplum/CleverTap account base; (3) a Thought Leadership Agent converting existing talks, interviews, and internal strategy into a published content cadence. Combined, these give Orlin the same automated intelligence layer he has spent a decade building for other companies' customers.
