About Perihelion
James Gabbitus founded Perihelion after speaking to dozens of founders who'd been burned by lead gen agencies: agencies that didn't understand their ICP, delivered low-quality leads, and hid behind vanity metrics. He decided to build something better.
With a technical background (MSc Computer Science), he spent months coding, testing, debugging, and iterating to build the Qualification Engine, our AI-powered research and personalisation system, from the ground up. It's a system that deep-researches every prospect, detects trigger events, qualifies or disqualifies against your exact ICP, and produces research-based outreach that sounds like a human wrote it, because the targeting is precise enough that it reads that way.
We don't measure success in emails sent. We measure it in qualified meetings held and deals closed.

Founder-Led, Not Farmed Out
James runs every account personally. There's no junior SDR pool learning on your budget and no offshore list-builder you never speak to.
We Build Our Own Tools
The Qualification Engine is ours, written from scratch. When your campaign needs the research logic to work differently, we change the code rather than wait on a vendor's roadmap.
Paid on Outcomes
You pay per qualified call that actually takes place. No retainer, no setup fee. If the campaign doesn't book calls, we don't get paid, which keeps us honest about what's working.
