Tool

Lead Finder

A company that just closed a funding round is one of the best prospects in B2B sales. They have fresh capital, ambitious growth plans, and are actively evaluating tools and vendors to execute their roadmap. The window after funding — typically 3-6 months — is when companies make the most purchasing decisions.

ToolRouter's Lead Finder identifies recently funded companies by analyzing investment data, press releases, and corporate filings. The enrich_company skill adds context about the funding round — amount, investors, stated use of funds — that helps you tailor your outreach to their specific growth plans.

The key to funding-based prospecting is speed and relevance. Reaching a company within weeks of their funding announcement, with a message that connects your product to their stated growth plans, creates a compelling reason to engage. Companies that systematically target funded prospects often see 2-3x higher meeting rates compared to cold outreach.
