The problem it solves

Sourcing developer leads means hours of searching GitHub, guessing at email addresses, and manually cleaning up duplicate entries in your spreadsheet. That manual grind eats into time you should spend actually reaching out. You want a fresh, deduplicated list of developer leads ready to go every day.

Who it fits

Recruiters, SaaS founders, and agencies sourcing developer leads regularly.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the automation searches GitHub for developers matching your criteria
  2. For anyone missing an email, it looks one up using Hunter.io
  3. Duplicate entries are automatically removed
  4. New, clean leads land in your Google Sheets CRM
What you get

Developer leads sourced without manual searching

You get a steady stream of clean, verified developer leads added straight to your CRM without searching GitHub yourself.

What you get

A deduplicated list of developer leads with verified emails in Google Sheets.

What you need

A Hunter.io API key and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
