Show HN: PitchBin – a vendor database built from the cold emails you get

PitchBin, a new vendor database tool launched on Hacker News, lets buyers forward cold emails to a dedicated address, where AI extracts the company, service, and price into a shared company catalog. The tool is free for buyers, with vendors paying $49.99 per month for repeat pitches, and claims to address the 95% of cold emails that go unanswered.

Forward any cold email to email protected /cdn-cgi/l/email-protection . AI extracts the company, service and price and files it in your company catalog. The offer you would have deleted is waiting when the need appears. Got a message on LinkedIn, email or anywhere else? Paste the reply we generate for you, or put the link in your profile once and stop replying at all. The seller opens your link, fills in the company, service and price in two minutes, and the offer lands in the same catalog. No plugin. No new inbox. Free for buyers.
