Sales teams have been stuck with stale databases for 15 years. Jesse changes everything.. the first internet-wide search engine built for sales & marketing. Ask in plain English: "Find newly opened soccer facilities in the Midwest needing turf solutions." Jesse scans the live web and finds the right buyers in the market today. We are an anti database company, we don’t scrape and store stale databases and sell them at premium. Every lead is found fresh from the live internet and delivered.

This is the single biggest GTM mistake
Not building lookalike list.
All of us must be having some customers. Some customers came inbound, few via referrals, few via word of mouth- it does not matter.
What matters is that these customers are able to solve their pains with your product.
Hence, once they are your customers- you should be "finding more of these".
This is by far the most underrated GTM hack I have come across.
There are few lookalike tools you can try- Ocean, Jesse (my product).
While using these tools, you should be able to find out why certain new customers were surfaced- what were the logic behind these new suggestions, and then run a focussed outbound/ABM campaign on those list.
What are the BEST and WORST lead gen tools you have tried?
While building Jesse, I talked with a ton of founders, builders and asked about their experience with the best and worst lead gen tools they have used.
I am curious to know the opinion of this group on this matter.
Some common ones that many use today are:
> Apollo
> Clay
> Lusha
> Zoominfo
Feel free to name and mention any other tools that you have come across.
A Guide to Finding Your Next 100 Customers
I ve spent years working on B2B customer acquisition for products moving from early traction to real scale. We tested every channel, built lightweight systems for volume outreach and partnerships, ran hundreds of experiments, and eventually created repeatable processes that a small team could run without constant firefighting.
Distribution is the #1 bottleneck you ll hit. Features get copied. Messaging gets borrowed. What actually compounds is a clear system for identifying the right accounts, testing quickly, and turning early signals into consistent pipeline.
By the end of this you ll know:
- What each major acquisition channel actually buys you (and why most teams misuse them)
Thanks, Kevin, for hunting our product. Hi everyone, I am Sarthak, one of the Cofounders at Floworks.
We built Jesse to help sales teams run precise outbound.
Jesse is an AI agent that connects to 180+ data sources and the entire internet.
It finds you the perfect list with any filter or intent signal - all from a simple prompt.
What Jesse knows about your prospects:
Funding rounds
Page visits
Products they're using
Team's preferred tech stack
Intent signals no one else has
And everything else there is to know
One of the great testimonials we received from a customer:
"It's like having an insider in each prospect's office."
Please take Jesse out for a spin, and share your valuable feedback. I am sure with all your support, we will fix what is broken in outbound.

This is amazing - have been using it for a few days now
@siddhantmohan1 Awesome - thanks for sticking with it for a few days! Have you hit any friction points, I’d love to hear them so we can make the next run even sharper.
Requestly
We were using Clay at Requestly.
Shifted to Jesse 3-4 weeks back. Much simpler. You just tell what kind of company you are looking for and it finds.
Happy with it so far. Congrats on launch!
@sagar_soni5 Awesome to hear you're already seeing the simplicity win after just a few weeks—shifting from "building lists" to "just tell me what you want" is exactly the shift we're aiming for.
Congrats on the smooth switch from Clay at Requestly, and thanks for the launch congrats! If you hit any edge cases or have ideas for what "what kind of company" should be able to express next (e.g., tighter ICP constraints, specific signals like hiring or funding), I'd love to hear what would make it even sharper for your outbound
Initial test run with @Jesse crushed it! Great first impression, excited to keep cranking.
@mikesimmons Awesome to hear your first test run crushed it - that’s the bar we’re aiming for from day one.
Keep cranking, and feel free to drop any edge cases or smiles (like “this prompt surfaced x I didn’t expect”) so we can make the next runs even sharper. Excited to see what you find!

Loved the concept. Curated leads and smart outreach :) Congratulations
@pooran_prasad_rajanna Thanks so much - love that you’re seeing the curated leads + smart outreach combo in action. Congrats to you too, and excited to hear how your outreach performs as you crank it up.
Love the tool. Jesse has been a second GTM brain for us.
@aastha_rajpal2
Thanks Aastha.
Its a great validation coming from a builder like you.

@neel_balar Glad that you liked it. A lot of YC companies are today finding their next 100 B2B customers via Jesse. Excited to share more details.
