How it works

About a minute from your URL to a list you can work.

01

We read what you sell

From your site or a two-line description: the product, who buys it, and which job it takes off someone's plate.

02

We match real companies

We pull companies hiring for that job from job boards, HN and the web, then check each one against your buyer. Likely competitors are set aside.

03

You pick who and when

Each company gets a why-now score from its job history, the people likely to decide, and a first email that cites the post, with two short follow-ups. Save the good ones, share the list, and watch the search for new posts.
