Software — built by Chad Waldo

I build the tools I wished existed on the floor.

I'm a Biesse Area Manager running waterjet and router territory across Western & Central North America — not a software company. I built The Drip because I was losing deals to my own inconsistency, not my pitch. It worked well enough that other reps asked for a copy, so now it's a product. Everything I build follows the same rule: it's yours once you buy it, and your data never has to leave your own machine to work.

Why it's built this way

Your pipeline shouldn't live on someone else's server.

Every cold outreach tool I've used as a rep wanted my prospect list on their cloud, then wanted a monthly fee for the privilege. I built the opposite on purpose.

01

Your data stays on your machine

Every company, contact, email, and call log lives in a local database file on the computer you installed it on — not a server I operate, not a database that can leak, get subpoenaed, or get scraped for someone else's product. If you can see your CRM data, so can whoever's storing it for you. With The Drip, that's just you.

02

You buy it once — no recurring bill

A license key, not a subscription. There's no "we're raising prices" email eight months in, no feature getting paywalled behind a higher tier you didn't sign up for, and no risk of losing access to your own work because a card on file expired.

03

Team data moves through storage you already trust

The Drip Suite syncs a team's data through the same Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox folder you're already using — not a database I host. No new vendor to vet, no new place for a breach to happen, and it keeps working if I'm ever not around to run a server.

04

It keeps running, full stop

No cloud dependency means no "service unavailable" banner during your morning call block, and nothing that stops working the day a subscription lapses. The install on your machine is the whole product.

The lineup

Two apps. Same rule: no subscriptions.

Working solo? Start with The Drip. Running a team that needs shared visibility and pipeline reporting? That's The Drip Suite.
