Lead Finder

Find & enrich companies and people

Lead Finder searches over a billion indexed profiles and company records to find the right people and businesses, then enriches them with verified email addresses, phone numbers, and company data. It's designed for the full prospecting workflow — from broad discovery to a clean, enriched lead list ready for outreach.

B2B prospecting tools are usually either broad (you find people but have no contact info) or narrow (you enrich contacts but can't discover new ones). This tool handles both in one place, with AI verification to make sure results actually match your criteria before you spend time on them.

What you can do

  • find_companies — discover companies by industry, funding stage, location, or any natural language criteria
  • find_people — find professionals by role, company type, expertise, or location
  • find_similar — expand a lead list by finding companies or people similar to a known example
  • enrich_company — get structured data on any company from its domain
  • answer — get cited research answers to specific questions about companies or markets
  • prospect — build a verified list of leads with AI-checked criteria and email enrichment
  • enrich_person — get verified email, phone, and job details for a specific person
  • enrich_people — batch enrich up to 50 profile URLs with contact information at once

Who it's for

Sales teams building outbound lists. Founders researching their target market. Recruiters sourcing candidates. Anyone who needs verified B2B contact data without paying for a full data platform subscription.

How to use it

  1. Start with find_people or find_companies for fast discovery using natural language criteria
  2. Use prospect when you need verified leads with emails — it AI-checks each result against your criteria
  3. Use enrich_person or enrich_people to add contact info to profiles you already have
  4. Use find_similar to expand a list from a competitor URL or known company
