Caldrin works on how software buyers discover products, compare vendors and become customers. We build commercial Search + AI visibility and researched outbound campaigns around your product, market and sales motion.
Choose the first offer by the buying problem. Some companies need commercial discovery first; others have a defined set of accounts to approach.
SEARCH + AI
Buyers are researching, but the product is hard to find or evaluate.
Start with category, integration, alternative and competitor searches. First work may include query research, technical SEO, commercial pages, AI visibility measurement and source analysis.
The right accounts are identifiable, but conversations are not starting.
Define the market, segment fitting accounts and investigate signals that change the message. First work may include account research, campaign hypotheses and a controlled test.
Scope follows the constraint. A Search engagement and an Outbound engagement do not require the same assets or access.

Ankur Shrestha Founder, Caldrin
FOUNDER / OPERATOR
Built with a product operator's perspective.
Ankur Shrestha founded Caldrin and has built software products. That experience changes the questions behind acquisition work: Which visitors are a fit? Where does a signup stall? What makes a sales conversation qualified?
Search visibility, signups and campaign replies matter when they connect to the next meaningful product or sales step.
The conversion target depends on how the product is sold.
Self-serve buyers need to reach product value after signup. Sales-led buyers need a qualified conversation and opportunity. Sales-assisted and hybrid products may need both paths measured.
PLG / SELF-SERVE
Product value is the conversion test.
Discovery
Signup
Activation
Paid conversion
Measure: non-brand acquisition, signup quality, activation, paid conversion and retention. Product-qualified leads matter only where a qualification rule exists.
SALES-LED
A qualified conversation is the next gate.
Discovery or outbound
Conversation
Qualified opportunity
Customer
Measure: commercial visibility, qualified replies, demo conversion, opportunities and attributable pipeline or revenue.
Founder Brand + Reputation can help buyers verify expertise. Paid + Creative can extend a tested message. Focused software can remove repeated research, routing or measurement work. Add them when the starting offer reveals a need.
