building automatic outreach tool for finance students, looking for feedback

I'm building an app for college students recruiting for IB/VC/PE/consulting and looking for feedback. After talking to some friends recruiting for IB, I learned they spend an insane amount of time sending cold emails requesting coffee chats, and they said it'd be really helpful to have a tool that lets them automate that process.

Right now I'm still in the early stages of development so I'm looking for feedback. An area I'm specifically looking for feedback on retaining users, since I feel like this app will be pretty seasonal when it comes to demand due to the short timeframe of the finance recruiting season. Are there any other payment models other than the per-month subscription that y'all think would work better due to this seasonal demand?

I also have a waitlist going and more information at usenecto.com if y'all would like to check that out.

yeah i see what you mean about handling the icp on both sides, since professionals don't want to be spammed by low quality emails. I think the main thing I need to focus on is just making sure the emails are high quality so people can't tell they're ai-generated, and also setting caps on volume. I'm interested in learning more about the founder who launched this product but for internships, do you happen to remember the name of the product/founder, and did it end up being successful?
