# Design partner outreach kit — founder use

Goal: fill 3 pilot seats (IP / defense firms). Stop optimizing for Claude; send real email.

## Who to contact (priority order)
1. Patent / IP boutique litigators who already build mediation or trial demonstratives
2. Insurance defense counsel (GL / coverage disputes with chronology needs)
3. Transportation / trucking defense litigators
4. Commercial litigators who export timelines to PowerPoint today

Skip: document-AI vendors, Am Law RFP committees, "general innovation" contacts without a live matter.

## Target list (fill 10–15 rows, then send)
| # | Firm | Contact | Practice | Warm intro? | Sent | Reply | Status |
|---|------|---------|----------|-------------|------|-------|--------|
| 1 |  |  | IP / patent |  |  |  |  |
| 2 |  |  | Insurance defense |  |  |  |  |
| 3 |  |  | Transportation |  |  |  |  |
| 4 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| 5 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

## Email A — cold outreach (default)
Subject: Design partner — courtroom chronology for [Practice / Firm]

Hi [Name],

I built Patent Preppers TIMELINE for litigators who still rebuild case stories in PowerPoint before mediation or trial.

It is a multi-view demonstrative chronology workspace (Court / Gantt / Flexible) with IP and defense starter packs and PPTX/PDF export — not another fact database or research chat.

I am recruiting three design-partner firms for a 60-day pilot:
• Free Firm-tier access for the pilot window
• Direct input on packs and export for your practice
• Optional permissioned case study or quote if it earns it

Demo (no signup): https://timeline.patentpreppers.com/demo
Product: https://timeline.patentpreppers.com/product
Partners: https://timeline.patentpreppers.com/partners

Would you take a 20-minute walkthrough next week?

Thanks,

## Email B — warm intro / referral
Subject: Quick ask — 60-day chronology pilot for [Firm]

Hi [Name],

[Mutual contact] suggested you as someone who still rebuilds matter timelines in PowerPoint for hearings.

We are filling three design-partner seats for Patent Preppers TIMELINE (Court / Gantt / Flexible + patent/defense packs). Free Firm-tier for 60 days in exchange for one sanitized chronology and a day-60 debrief.

Demo: https://timeline.patentpreppers.com/demo
Details: https://timeline.patentpreppers.com/partners

Open to a short walkthrough?

## Email C — follow-up (day 5–7)
Subject: Re: Design partner — courtroom chronology

Hi [Name],

Short follow-up on the 60-day design-partner pilot. Seats are capped at three firms so feedback stays useful.

If a live matter is sensitive, a sanitized chronology works. Happy to start with the no-signup demo: https://timeline.patentpreppers.com/demo

Worth 20 minutes?

## After they say yes
1. Send Firm-tier trial / account setup instructions
2. Book kickoff + mid-pilot + day-60 debrief
3. Point them at /demo patent pack + one defense pack matching their practice
4. On debrief, ask permission for anonymized case study → publish at /case-studies
