Signal
Michael replied to a client update email from Chris Lenard at Horse Spot. In the reply, Michael proactively pitched the Company Brain install: “We’re gonna be launching an offer around installing the company brain for folks, so if it looks interesting LMK and we can set it up for y’all in a couple weeks.”
Horse Spot is not on the current client roster (not in clients/roster.md). This appears to be a warm relationship (Michael says “you guys are crushing,” suggesting familiarity). Michael is positioning Horse Spot as an early target for the Company Brain founding-cohort offer.
Status: Pitch sent, no response yet. Next step: Chris Lenard replies with interest or it goes quiet.
