Distro vs doing it yourself
Most founders start by doing growth themselves, in bursts. Here is what changes when the work keeps moving without you.
Distro works out who buys from you, runs personalized cold email from your own Gmail and LinkedIn outreach from buyer intent, and publishes content for Google and AI search. You approve what goes out.
Best for: Founder-led B2B teams who want outbound and inbound running from one plan, without hiring.
You pick the targets, write the emails and LinkedIn messages, follow up, and write the blog posts when you have time.
Best for: Very early founders still discovering who buys, who want to have every conversation by hand.
