A real brief · run on MyPip's own founder
Toby Stapleton
Founder, MyPip · Director of Digital Growth & AI Development, Plastic Bank · Greater Vancouver
Who he is
A growth technologist who codes his own tools. At Plastic Bank he built an in-house AI-SDR platform that gets a 43% reply rate against a 2.5% industry average, and drove a $30K organic traffic lift with 15% month-over-month lead growth. Before that he co-founded Baseline Tennis, a content operation that cut production time 80% and grew from one person to nine.
Since early 2024 he has been self-funding MyPip as a solo founder — four rebuilds in. His stated reason: the spray-and-pray outbound systems he built for other companies generated volume founders couldn't handle.

What he's said lately
“Don't be an anchor. Be a sail.”
An essay on how people respond when someone close to them wants to make a change — and an argument for backing the ones who take the risk.
How to open the conversation
Reply to the essay, on the channel where he published it. He just argued for backing people who bet on themselves — so open with the bet you're making. Save the pitch for the second message.
