VCs, executives, journalists, founders — the people who matter most are the hardest to reach, because they had to hide. Foyer is the receiving infrastructure for high-value people in an agentic economy. A multi-agent staff team that screens, researches, and digests inbound on your cadence.
The choice today: stay reachable and drown, or stay invisible. Different failures of the same broken contact infrastructure.
VCs, executives, journalists, and founders all hide their email and phone. The volume is unsolvable, so the cost of being publicly reachable is too high. They opt out of the open channel entirely.
AI SDR is going agentic — Boardy ($8M), 11x, Artisan ($46M). Forrester predicts 20% of B2B sellers will face agent-led outreach this year.
When seller agents auto-dial buyer agents, there's no receiving infrastructure. Gmail filters don't scale to agent traffic. The hide-or-drown choice gets sharper.
HVIs stop hiding their contact info and publish their agent. Inbound reaches the agent line — not the principal.
One public agent address — email-first in v1, voice in roadmap. The new identity layer that replaces the email and phone the principal currently hides.
A multi-agent staff screens inbound by category — press, business, personal. Each sub-agent researches the caller, scores intent, and only escalates what fits.
Async digest on the principal's cadence — hourly, daily. No interrupts. The principal opts back into being reachable for what matters, on their own clock.
Each persona below already runs a human staff team for inbound. Foyer is the AI version — staff-grade screening for less than the cost of one hire.
200 cold pitches a week. I funnel everything through associates and a hidden personal email.
Wants curated dealflow without becoming the bottleneck.
My phone has leaked four times. My manager and publicist run inbound — but they sleep.
Wants 24/7 staff-grade screening without phone churn.
Official channels drown in form-letter campaigns. Real constituent voices die in the noise.
Wants a citizen line that surfaces signal, not volume.
Five hats before lunch — investors, board, customers, press, family. One inbox can't sort it.
Wants one agent per hat — plus a chief of staff.
The architecture mirrors how a celebrity already runs inbound — publicist, manager, EA, analyst — with a chief of staff orchestrating, and only researched, briefed items reaching the principal.
HippoDid is the multi-agent memory substrate Foyer runs on — built and internally validated, MCP-integrated, and architected for staff teams from day one.
Today's tools sit behind your existing inbox. Foyer is the layer in front of it. Three quadrants have a category leader. The fourth doesn't.
Each tier maps to a real staff role. 15-day free trial. Initial limits tune to real usage; top-ups for spikes.
A single chief of staff today: $200K+/yr (levels.fyi). Foyer ships a 5-agent team for less than one hire.
I spent years inside Salesforce's High-Velocity Sales team watching the seller side become more aggressive, more automated, more agent-driven every quarter. Templates, lists, variable merging — the entire HVS pattern is now being rebuilt by Boardy, 11x, and Artisan as autonomous AI SDRs.
Here's what nobody is building: the receiving side. When seller agents auto-dial buyer agents, the principal needs more than a filter — they need a staff team. That's what I'm building. Foyer is HippoDid in practice. The substrate was built first. The product runs on top.
Foyer is in private alpha. Join the waitlist for early access — we're onboarding a small group of HVIs as design partners through Q3 2026.
