A YC founder's early sales guide for vibe coders: LinkedIn caps you at 200 requests/week

A YC-backed founder shares a hands-on early-sales guide for vibe coders:
- Build an ICP list with LinkedIn Sales Nav filters, crucially selecting "recently posted on LinkedIn" so no scarce connection request is wasted (weekly cap is 200 — treat it as your most finite resource and keep filling it with target users)
- Outreach message: skip AI-generated long pitches; one line of authority-backed intro plus one line asking whether they face the problem you solve — agreement earns the next conversation
- Custom tooling: the author wired LinkedIn outreach into Claude Code via MCP, auto-connecting, messaging and A/B testing variations
- Post often to maximize luck surface area: views may be low but they're quality ICP views — one customer-screenshot post landed a sales meeting
- End goal: a repeatable, scalable GTM motion
