The problem it solves

Researching startup founders one by one and writing personalized outreach eats up hours you don't have. You need a fast way to spot promising people worth reaching out to without doing manual research on every profile.

Who it fits

Investors, sales reps, or recruiters who need a steady stream of founder leads worth contacting.

How it works

  1. You start the process when you're ready
  2. It pulls founder profiles from Crunchbase
  3. AI extracts the key professional details for each one
  4. AI writes a short, professional summary for each founder
  5. You receive a digest email in Gmail ready to act on
What you get

Founder profiles worth a closer look

You get a digest of startup founder profiles summarized and ready for you to review before deciding who to contact.

What you get

An email digest of founder profiles with AI-written summaries ready for outreach.

What you need

A Crunchbase account, an OpenAI API key, and a Gmail 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.
