Taylor Trusty

Hi! I’m Taylor, a SaaS founder, newsletter writer, and cold email nerd.

I co-founded Newslever, a competitor intelligence platform acquired by Similarweb in 2025. We grew it to 500+ customers - including teams at Nasdaq, Deloitte, and Airbus - almost entirely through cold outbound email.

Before Newslever, I co-founded Blackstone Media, a digital marketing agency acquired in 2018.

These days I'm going deeper on cold outbound email, hosting OC founder events, and writing Tech:OC, a weekly newsletter covering Orange County tech.

I’m originally from Kentucky, spent eight years in New York City, and now live in Dana Point with my wife, our son, and goldendoodle. Feel free to reach out!
