Jesse became #3 Product of the Day! and we got 30 days worth of signups in a single day!

We just hit 30 days’ worth of signups in a SINGLE day. 🤯

1M+ people saw us in today’s Product Hunt newsletter, and Jesse is officially becoming a sales household name (an officehold, if you will 😏).

We’re this close to landing in the Top 5 Products of the Week. So, those who haven't checked out Jesse- do check it out and show your support and feedback:

Jesse was born with the simplest of idea that sales folks should not have to rely on old scraped data from Apollo and Clay.

Search has moved on form Google to Perplexity to Claude.

Yet, prospecting is still hidden behind the wall of 10 filters and old stale data.

Jesse allows anyone- starting a business, leading SDR teams at large sales orgs, to find their next 100 customers by doing live internet search.

Building a fintech for debt collection? Just type any of the following:
🎯 VPs of Risk at mid-sized NBFCs ($5M–$50M ARR) posting about defaults / hiring underwriters — want real-time alternative credit-reporting APIs

🎯 VPs of Compliance at digital neobanks (50–200 emp), newly appointed, replacing manual KYC/AML with a consolidated real-time API

🎯 CTOs at Series A/B fintechs (100–500 emp) tired of juggling vendor APIs — want one unified identity + credit + AML API


Since we launched, the adoption has been incredible:

  • 🚀 1.2k+ teams signed up

  • 🌍 From a real estate agent in Florida, to a fintech founder, to 4 Fortune 500 companies and one of the largest logistics companies in the world

  • 📈 50%+ WAU/MAU

  • 🔥 A constant rave across sales communities

These are still early days. I get a ton of messages from Jesse users on what to improve, and I personally read and act on every one.

I’d love your feedback — especially from founders and sales leaders who’ve lived the pipeline grind. What’s the most painful part of finding good leads for you? Happy to answer any questions! 🚀

Congrats! The “30 days of signups in a single day” stat is amazing.

As a fellow maker, I often find building the product easier than getting people to discover it. Seeing Jesse gain this kind of traction is really inspiring.

What was the hardest part of getting your first 100 users?

 Thanks for the kind words - and yes, discovery is the real grind. The single biggest lever for our first 100 was Product Hunt + a founder story that made the problem visceral.

After launch, we did three things:

  • Responded to every PH comment within ~30 minutes and followed up with signups as warm leads.

  • Built a PH-specific landing page with a small exclusive offer and a simple demo to remove signup friction.

  • Pushed unbiased, targeted outreach (email to our waitlist, posts in relevant Slack/Discord groups, LinkedIn at midday, and DMs to network) with a tight 6-step launch-day cadence.

The hardest part was the pre-launch prep: asset quality (logo, screenshots, video), copy, and message templates ready before 12:01 AM PST - so we didn’t spend launch day writing them. Timing also mattered: we got 50+ votes in the first two hours to hit trending, and we kept pushing till the last minute.

Congrats on the launch!! I think one of the biggest frustrations with traditional prospecting tools is exactly what you mentioned: stale data. The idea of prospecting from live web signals instead of static databases is definitely interesting. Also, 50%+ WAU/MAU is a very nice metric for an early-stage product 👏

So happy for your team, #3 Product of the Day is huge! Everyone is tired of the static data in Apollo and Clay, so moving toward a Perplexity-style search for sales makes total sense. Tell me, how does the system handle real-time email verification? It looks like a great tool for a quick start. Success to you!

Huge congrats on landing #3 Product of the Day! 🎉

This really speaks to a pain point a lot of us deal with, outdated, static databases that go stale the moment you pull them. Building a prospecting flow around live web signals instead (almost like search-engine-style discovery applied to sales) feels like a genuinely smarter direction, especially compared to legacy tools like Apollo or Clay.

Congratulations!!
Amazing to see the momentum. What stands out most is how Jesse is changing the way people think about prospecting, from filtering static databases to discovering real-time buying signals. Excited to see what's next. 🚀
