i built an AI that sells my product -- here is what 35 cycles of autonomous GTM taught me

The author built Felix, a multi-agent autonomous sales system that runs go-to-market cycles using a CEO planning agent, executor/researcher agents, an analyst agent, and a meta-cognition agent — all orchestrated via bash-spawned Claude CLI subprocesses. After 35 cycles costing $0.05 in external spend (~$1.50/cycle in API calls), it sourced 61 contacts, achieved 9 LinkedIn acceptances from 57 requests, sent 16 DMs, got 2 replies, and generated one demo call request. The author documents structural failure modes including a 9-cycle drought caused by strategy pivots, approval gate timeouts, and stacked blockers rather than presenting it as a success story.
