The problem it solves

Spotting companies that just raised funding, while they still have budget and urgency to buy, means checking Crunchbase constantly and copying details into a spreadsheet by hand. By the time you get around to it, the best window to reach out may already be gone.

Who it fits

Sales and business development teams who want to reach newly funded companies early.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks Crunchbase for newly announced funding rounds
  2. It gathers extra details on each company, like LinkedIn, traffic, and company size
  3. The results are added as new rows in Google Sheets
  4. You get a running list of newly funded companies to reach out to
What you get

Newly funded companies worth reaching out to

You get a running list of newly funded companies, complete with company details, ready for your team to reach out to early.

What you get

A running Google Sheet of recently funded companies with contact and firmographic details.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Piloterr API key.

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.
