Stop Getting Ignored.
The best way to slide into professional DMs and actually get responses.
Here's how I get in touch with anyone
I send them a Leeplink like this
And it goes to a page with a video intro, a short message, a calendar link, a list of references, and my GitHub activity.
Yo Mark, wassup?
Key Hoffman
Hey Mark — I know you probably get thousands of messages, so I made you this instead.
I have a sick idea for relaunching the metaverse.
Watch the video and let me know if you're interested in chatting about it.
You can also book a coffee chat with me here ➡️
Who I've worked with
GitHub Activity
And here's how they respond (actually happened)
Really appreciate you taking the time to put that video together. I grabbed some time on your calendar for tomorrow afternoon to chat
This made my day. Can I share your video on LinkedIn?
Hey! Nice to meet you. This is pretty interesting! Let me get back to you on this, and I'll let you know when I schedule a call.
Key, thanks. Scheduled for Monday a meeting
Hi Key! Thanks for reaching out. It's actually a really cool and helpful idea for job seekers, I'd be happy to help build on it.
I also just saw your video message. Super cool! We're hiring soon. As you know, we're a Swift native app. I'm curious about your experience working with Swift IOS and where you think you might be able to help. Do you have a portfolio to look through? Also, where are you based?
This is neat!
Hey that's awesome! But we actually _just_ filled the role. BUT I've got a really good network of early stage founders hiring,if you'd like me to share your profile.
Curious did you record this video yourself and do you do this for every company? or is this AI driven? The video is great to be honest... Basically even....though you knew we were a rails shop, you reached out and built a video.
Thank you Key! Let me touch base with hiring and get back to you about this! I'm going on a short trip out of the country starting tomorrow, so I expect to hopefully have a response for you by Monday/Tuesday Loved the video by the way, wish more people would take that approach!
hey man, really appreciate the video, I love it. Unfortunately we're only hiring in person in the bay at the moment, sorry about that!
hey, this is sweet! also love the video - definitely a unique GTM motion. I will definitely refer everyone we're working with to use Leep,this is exactly what I have always thought should exist, but we just never felt like it was in our core focus. really happy that you're working on this!
Why I Built This
I'm Key, and I built Leep because I kept getting ignored.
Every cold message I sent looked like spam. Every LinkedIn DM disappeared into the void. I was just another name in someone's inbox.
So I started making personalized video landing pages for people I wanted to connect with. No fancy system. Just a video, a custom URL with their name, and a real introduction.
It worked.
Hiring managers responded. People on X replied. Connections that would have ignored me completely started conversations. Not because I'm special. Because I did something they couldn't ignore—I made them something.
Leep is that same approach, just made simple. I use it constantly. It's gotten me in touch with so many people who would have just ignored me otherwise.
Who This Is For
You need to connect with people who don't know you yet.
- •Getting in touch with hiring managers on LinkedIn
- •Networking on X with people you want to work with
- •Sliding into DMs on Instagram for collaborations
- •Sending a cold email that actually gets opened
If you've ever wanted to reach out to someone and knew your message would just get lost in the noise—this is for you.
The Problem
Everyone else sends:
- AI-generated InMails
- Copy-paste templates
- Generic "just checking in" messages
- Mass-produced slop
Your DMs get ignored. Your messages get deleted. Your outreach goes into a black hole. Because you look exactly like everyone else.
The Solution
You send something different.
A full landing page with their name in the URL. A real video where you talk to them specifically. Actual effort that can't be faked.
https://yourname.leep.to/person-you-really-want-to-connect-withWhen they click, they don't just get a video. They get an entire page you built for them. Video + written intro + context about why you're reaching out.
It's not a message. It's a destination you made specifically for this one person.
How It Works
Record
Make a 60-second video for this specific person
Get link
Leep generates a landing page with their name in the URL
Send
Drop it in LinkedIn, X, Instagram, email—wherever they are
They see effort
The URL, the video, the page proves this isn't spam
They respond
Because you did something worth responding to
Where You Use It
Why Video Works
People actually love getting videos. It's personal. It's real. It's proof you're not a bot.
In a world drowning in AI slop, a 60-second video of your actual face saying their actual name is the most valuable thing you can send.
Video is effort. And effort gets responses.
The Brutal Truth
DMs get ignored. Messages get deleted. Applications disappear.
But if someone builds you your own page? You at least look.
Going over the top is the only thing that works anymore. Leep makes it easy to go over the top.
Ready to stop getting ignored?
Join the waitlist. Be first to slide into DMs properly.
Quick note from the founder:
Most of this is already built—I've been using it myself for years. Just need to polish a few things before I can hand it to you.
Leep — The opposite of spam.
