LeadScout
Find the person who signs.
A lead-finding engine that works from public information — it finds target companies, identifies who actually holds the title you sell to, scores them against your ideal customer profile, and hands you a ranked list with verified email addresses. No data-vendor subscription required to start.
Company in, ranked buyer out
One pass takes a target from name to actionable lead: find the company, find its people, keep only real employees, score them against your ideal customer profile, and confirm a reachable email.

Seven ways to find target companies — starter lists, following companies' own links outward, web search, and public business directories. It works with no paid data sources at all; add one later and coverage simply grows.
👤Find the people
Reads companies' own public leadership and team pages — politely, respecting each site's published rules — and the platform's AI can pull names and titles even from messy, hard-to-read pages.
🧹Keep only real employees
Separates employees from investors, board members, and advisors — a big-name CTO listed on an investor page is correctly dropped, not cold-emailed.
🎯Score against your profile
Your ideal customer profile is a simple editable list — change the titles, keywords, and signals you sell to and the whole engine retargets. Leads land in A–D tiers.
✉️Verify the email
Works out the likely address and confirms the company's mail system can actually receive it before a lead is ever ranked — you get contacts you can really reach.
📈Deliver
A ranked spreadsheet, a built-in dashboard, and a direct push into the CRM — with duplicates removed, even when the same run repeats.
It runs itself — into a review queue, not your CRM
LeadScout can run fully on its own: every night it finds new companies branching out from what it already knows, researches and scores them, and queues the results for you. The key word is queues — a human approves each batch before anything becomes a CRM record. New automations earn trust before they run unattended.
- Review before entry, by default: list, review, approve, or reject every batch before it touches your pipeline
- Directory-site detection: a website that "employs" a suspicious number of executives is a listings site, and gets skipped
- Fit check first: companies are scored against your ideal customer profile before any deeper research, so an off-target company with one impressive title doesn't slip through
- Nightly limits and a memory of what it's already seen, so runs explore new ground instead of covering the same companies twice
- Spreadsheet import for purchased or library-sourced lists — they go through the same filter, score, and verify steps
By the numbers
The safeguards were earned, not theorized. An early run let a conference website dump a hundred-plus bogus "executives" into the CRM. The fix became a rule of the road: human review by default, directory-site detection, and filtering out people who don't actually work at the company — automation only runs unattended once it's proven it deserves to.
Honest about the hard 80%
Reading a team page is the easy 20%. Coverage, data quality, and treating every website respectfully is the hard 80% — LeadScout is built around that reality instead of pretending it away.
🔓Free to start, paid data optional
Out of the box it only reads what companies publish about themselves. Connections to paid data vendors (Apollo and similar) exist for teams that want database-grade breadth — the engine works the same either way.
🧪Verified, not vibes
Proven live against real companies: full staff rosters with verified, deliverable emails pulled from one target; a dozen investors on another correctly kept out of the lead list. The filtering logic is covered by an automated test suite that stays green.
