Verified founder emails from 50,000 funded startups — in under 60 seconds.
No database filters to learn. No contact-list vendors to evaluate. Describe who, let AI do the rest.
Use natural language — "fintech founders in NYC who raised seed in the last 6 months" or "PMs at Y Combinator W25 batch companies." The more specific, the better the match.
Lessie scans LinkedIn, Y Combinator, Product Hunt, recently funded lists, company sites, and more — no manual filter clicking required.
Every result includes decision-maker info (founder, CTO, PM) with verified email, role, company context, and a relevance score.
Push to HubSpot, Instantly, Lemlist, or CSV. Use AI-drafted personalized pitches, or let your team take it from here.
Apollo optimizes for bulk B2B lists. Crunchbase optimizes for investor research. Lessie optimizes for the founder's first-100-users problem.
Early-adopter searches are rarely "SaaS companies in NYC." They're "SaaS founders in fintech, Series A, launched product in the last 6 months." Lessie's AI parses compound criteria the way a human analyst would.
Crunchbase tells you a startup exists. Lessie tells you exactly who to email. Every result includes founder/CTO/PM contacts with verified direct emails — 95%+ deliverability.
Stop spending 6+ hours per week on manual prospecting. Type a query, get a ranked list in under a minute, export to your outreach tool, start sending.
Other tools focus on enterprise or SMB. Lessie indexes the signals early adopters leave: YC batches, Product Hunt activity, recent funding, hiring patterns, and founder profiles.

YC alumni are notoriously receptive to other founder outreach. Filter by batch, vertical, and current product focus to build a warm first-100 list.
Honest comparison against the tools founders actually use for early-adopter discovery.
