Per another commenter's link in here, [1] shows pretty clearly what kind of person the founder is. I don't think there's much ground to stand on if you want to

  That article is about the founder of the Web site where this article was published, rather than the founders of the company, Outreach.io, that the article is about.

    Ah you're right. Should have read more closely. Here's an interview with the actual founder [1]. Relevant quote on the start of what became the current company: "Then at the end of 2013, we decided to give it one more go and we decided to build a workflow internally that would make our sales reps book 10x more meetings." We can debate if that's a good or a bad idea ethically, but to a lot of people including myself, increasing sales meetings 10x = spamming the hell out of people, regardless of what "workflow" you're using. It's rather like increasing your ad clicks 10x with dark patterns and claiming you're totally helping people.
