Builder at Heart
I'm Virgil, founder of The1stLink. My passion is taking ideas — no matter how rough or simple — and turning them into fully-functional web applications.
With deep expertise on many platforms, I specialize in rapid development that doesn't sacrifice quality. Every project includes complete solutions: authentication, databases, payment processing, AI features, and deployment.
You have an idea. I build it. That's the first link between concept and reality.
"I don't just build websites — I build the first link between your idea and reality."
- 99 AgentsActive
99 Agents is an AI-powered cold email sequence generator built for SDRs. You enter your prospect's info and your product description — it generates a full 4-email outreach sequence with subject lines, send timing, and tone matching. No templates, no copy-paste libraries. Every sequence is unique, scored for deliverability (Sequence Health Score, 0-100), and actively avoids sounding like AI. We banned 37 AI phrases, 29 buzzwords, and 17 formulaic CTAs from the engine itself. Free tier gets you 5 sequences/day. The bigger mission? This is Agent #1. Once it hits $100/day, we clone it 98 more time
