I was robbing myself of 12 hours every week

I didn't realize it until February.

Every morning, I had open 3 LinkedIn accounts. Send connection requests. Follow up on messages. Schedule posts. Repeat for each account.

12 hours weekly. Gone.

That's when I asked myself: "What if I could get those 12 hours back?"

So we built bearconnect.io - One dashboard. Unlimited LinkedIn accounts. Automated outreach that doesn't feel robotic.

Here's what changed:

  • 12 hours → 2 hours weekly
  • 15 manual connections → 150+ automated (safely)
  • 3 scattered inboxes → 1 unified view

The breakthrough? Most automation tools cost $150-500/month. We are at $67 per LinkedIn account.

Because founders shouldn't choose between scaling and surviving.

3 months in, we helped 200+ founders reclaim their time. Agencies managing 10 client accounts are saving $4,000+ monthly.

The irony? I built this to save my own time. Turns out, every founder was bleeding hours the same way.

Your time isn't renewable. Your LinkedIn shouldn't steal it.

P.S. - If you are managing multiple accounts manually, you're paying with something more valuable than money.

    The "scratch your own itch" origin story is always compelling - especially when it comes with concrete numbers like 12 hours → 2 hours.

    What caught my attention is the unified inbox angle. Managing multiple accounts isn't just about automation - it's about context switching costs. Every time you hop between interfaces, you lose mental momentum. That hidden tax compounds fast.

    Curious about one thing: with 200+ founders using this, have you noticed patterns in how people structure their outreach differently once they have the bandwidth? I imagine when the mechanical work is removed, users often discover they were doing the wrong things faster rather than the right things.

      Once people get those hours back, the biggest shift we see isn’t more volume - it’s smarter outreach. Most start refining their ICP instead of blasting bigger lists, they finally run consistent multi-step follow-ups (where most replies actually happen), and they begin testing small tweaks instead of constantly rewriting everything.

      And yes, you’re right: automation sometimes reveals that the messaging itself needs work. But with the mechanical work gone, founders actually have the focus to improve strategy rather than just push harder.

      But we Usally use Unified inbox feature to handle all Client Effectively so you can also try this on bearconnect.io

        The "ICP refinement" pattern is the one that resonates most. There's something about removing the mechanical friction that forces people to actually think about who they're reaching vs just reaching more.

        Multi-step follow-ups are where the real leverage is - that's where most deals actually close, but it's also the first thing to slip when you're manually juggling accounts. Makes sense that's the behavior that unlocks once the overhead disappears.

        Appreciate the insights - good data for anyone building in the automation space.
