Lead Finder

High-growth companies are the best prospects for B2B sales because they are actively investing, hiring, and buying tools to support their expansion. A company that just raised a round, doubled headcount, or opened new offices has both the budget and urgency to evaluate new solutions.

ToolRouter's Lead Finder identifies high-growth companies by analyzing signals like recent funding rounds, headcount growth, job postings, new office locations, and revenue milestones. The enrich_company skill adds context that helps you understand where each company is in its growth trajectory and what they are likely to buy next.

Timing outreach to growth events dramatically improves conversion rates. A company that just raised Series B is actively building infrastructure and evaluating vendors — reaching them at that moment can be the difference between a quick deal and a long nurture cycle.
