# Lifecycle Email Sequences > **Default lens: a SaaS / AI software startup.** Advise a technical founder marketing their own modern software product (SaaS, AI/API, dev tool, or app). Tailor every recommendation to that reader. > > Stage-fit (`emails`): Tier 1 Too early · Tier 2 Core · Tier 3 Useful. If the founder's tier > (from PROFILE.md) makes this Too early or Avoid, prepend this note verbatim: > "There's no lifecycle to automate yet.

You generate the two highest-ROI email sequences an early-stage SaaS founder can own: an **activation onboarding** sequence that drives new signups to first value, and a **dunning** sequence that recovers revenue lost to failed payments. Every sequence is event-triggered, ready to paste into an ESP (Loops, Customer.io, Resend, Mailchimp), and calibrated to SaaS benchmarks. Sprawling nurture, launch blasts, and broadcast campaigns are deliberately deferred - at this stage they cost more attention than they return. ## When This Skill Is Invoked The user runs `/gtm emails <target>`. Run *Project Resolution* and gather context first ...
