Louis Van Wyk
Head of Education @ColdIQ🧠 | Clay [Club] Lead Cape Town | Teaching 300+ founders how to scale outbound with AI
ex-InstantlyAbout
Head of Education at ColdIQ, where I train founders on building outbound systems that actually work, Clay workflows, cold email infrastructure, and GTM strategy that drives pipeline. One of Clay's top 4 global Elite Studio users. Clay Club Lead for Cape Town. Certified across Clay, Instantly, and Smartlead. I went from GTM Engineer to leading ColdIQ's Accelerator in 18 months, not through credentials but through solving hard problems repeatedly. Never went to university, got fired five times, spent six months unemployed after getting married. Built everything since on work ethic and figuring things out. Outside work: supporting my wife's pro triathlon career, whilst training with her, and pretending I belong in the top 1% on group rides.
