Portis Group
B2B meeting booking through research-driven outreach, LinkedIn authority and market intelligence. Every meeting comes with a prospect brief 24 hours ahead.
Portis Group is a test of whether a B2B meeting-booking agency can be built without buying your way in — no expensive lead database, no SaaS tools with a monthly cost that starts ticking before the first meeting is booked.
The hypothesis: quality beats volume. Instead of sending a thousand generic emails, we pick twenty companies, spend real time understanding them, and write an email that proves we did. Every meeting is delivered with a Brief — a research report on the prospect, ready 24 hours before the client walks into the room.
Under the hood, Portis is an AI pipeline built on self-hosted tools: portis-gate filters out companies that don't fit before a single word is written, portis-harvester verifies domains and gathers signal, n8n coordinates the flows, and Ollama runs local inference against Hermes and Qwen without data leaving the server.
A project under JimLov PoC Labs — tested at small scale, with measurable results as the bar that any later automation has to match.
PURPOSE & PROBLEM
Test whether a research-driven B2B meeting-booking agency can be built and operated at minimal cost — outreach built on deep prospect research rather than volume, with automation as discipline rather than a replacement for judgment.
AUDIENCE
B2B companies that need more qualified meetings without building an in-house SDR function — primarily SaaS, service businesses and consultancies selling into mid-market and enterprise.
TECH STACK
RUNNING IT YOURSELF
Requires n8n for workflow automation (running on alienqronk), Ollama for local AI research, Twenty CRM for prospect management, portis-gate for disqualification and portis-smtp-guard for safe email delivery. All components are self-hosted and open source.
