WHY THIS ROUTE
Founders already lose hours a week to competitor reading and feel the cost of a missed change. A cheap, cited weekly digest is an easy yes.

FIRST MESSAGE · X OR TELEGRAM DM · TO A FOUNDER WHO POSTED ABOUT TRACKING COMPETITORS
Saw your post about missing a competitor's launch. I run a small weekly digest for crypto teams: it reads rivals' docs, GitHub releases, forums and treasury moves, and every line links its source. I made you a free one for this week's changes in your space. Want me to set it up with your own list of rivals?
4. Set it up on a call and agree a price
40 minConfirm their sources together and mark their urgent topics. After two digests, offer Watchtower at $19 a month and $100 for the setup.
