AI leads you can import into your CRM
The list is a CSV with named columns, so it imports straight into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Apollo, Instantly, lemlist or any sequencer. Teams that buy it:
- Dev tools, GPU clouds and infrastructure sold to AI teams
- Agencies building for AI startups: design, growth, PR
- Recruiters placing engineers and researchers
- Investors and scouts looking for AI deals
- Partnership, data and integration teams
Three tips for emailing AI founders
- Lead with what they ship. AI founders get pitched daily; one line about their model or product earns the second line.
- Segment by stage. A seed-stage team of five and a lab with 1,000 people buy different things.
- Send in small batches from a warmed-up domain, and stop the moment someone says no.
