The founder
Axel Joseph Auguste — Founder of Klientee
I build Klientee. Before that I spent fifteen years inside other companies' infrastructure: auditing Active Directory, hardening mail servers, and learning first-hand what happens when email goes wrong.
Why I built Klientee
A small B2B service firm lives on word of mouth. It works well — until the quarter it slows down, and you discover there was never a method behind it, only luck and good work. There is nobody to hand prospecting to, and the tools on the market are built for sales teams these firms do not have.
Klientee reads a company's website, works out who pays and why, goes and finds decision-makers who look like those customers, and writes from the company's own mailboxes in the owner's vocabulary. The first proof is free, with no account and no card.
Before: fifteen years of infrastructure and security
Engineer, then consultant, from 2009 to 2024: systems and network administration, SaaS platforms, virtualisation, Active Directory, Exchange, firewalls. Audits and migrations for finance, press and banking — at Alsyon Technologies, Cegedim Outsourcing, Yousign, MFP Services, then freelance. That is where my fixation on deliverability comes from: I saw email from the server room before I ever used it to reach anyone.

What this means for the blog
I am the founder of one of the tools these articles compare. That is said at the top of every comparison, not in small print at the bottom. And the prices I quote are the ones I could read, with the date: when a vendor publishes no price, I write it that way rather than claiming they have none.
