I scout for a handful of investors in Silicon Valley. One of my jobs is to cut through the noise and surface the gems. Every so often, someone sends me a blurb that s crisp, compelling, and makes me want to learn more. When that happens, I usually take a meeting and sometimes even make intros.
That said, most blurbs I see aren t great. Founders are flying blind because no one s willing to be brutally honest with them. Let s fix that.
These are some big changes! What do you guys think about this kind of model?
Dribbble is transforming its business model to help professional designers generate more client work by implementing a new policy that requires all transactions to occur on their platform, aiming to create a safer and more efficient marketplace for design services.
I ve always found traditional lead research tools limiting. They stick to rigid filters like headcount, industry, or location, which don t always work when you have niche criteria. I found Telescope last year and it was amazing! Their today's launch inspired me to launch this post. :) Telescope with Smart Criteria is your very own lead research agent to search for leads using fully custom criteria and filter by anything you want, no matter how niche. Telescope makes Apollo, Sales Navigator, etc. look primitive. Check out the Telescope launch here! I d love to hear what tools or methods do you use for lead research? Are there other creative ways to get more targeted results? Let me know in the comments. :) P.S. I hunted Perplexity Assistant on PH today!
