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.
Real queries from founders, PMs, and growth teams using Lessie today.
Perfect when your wedge product targets engineering teams at early startups. Get CTOs who are actively making build vs. buy decisions right now.
Running discovery interviews for your next feature? Find PMs with the exact persona you want to learn from — no more cold-DMing strangers on Twitter.
Early adopters are often other founders with same-stage pain. Target fresh-funded founders who have budget and timeline pressure to try new tools.
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.
