With Kevin Kariuki, Nexuscale
Show notes
About the show:
Automation for Agencies is the podcast where AppSumo founders meet agency owners. Host Drew Rattray scores every tool against the Agency Viability Score (AVS) rubric — white-label depth, multi-client management, reseller viability, integration flexibility, and roadmap confidence — so agency listeners know what's actually worth buying. Learn · Launch · Scale.
Guest bio:
Kevin Kariuki is the founder of Nexuscale, a sales outreach platform that runs email and LinkedIn campaigns from a single platform built on its own LinkedIn and SMTP infrastructure. After a strong AppSumo lifetime-deal run, Kevin's team rebuilt the platform's sending engine inhouse, owned mailboxes, sending IPs, domain purchase, and an internal warming network, and added AI agents that personalize and qualify outreach end-to-end.
Key quotes:
"It essentially allows you to do 70 or 80 percent of what you'd want to do in terms of outreach inside one platform. And that remaining 20, 30 percent, we're closing that gap in the next six months."
