What CustomerOS does

CustomerOS uncovers high-fit leads who are engaging directly with your brand but not yet in your sales funnel. By lead scoring your pipeline against your ICP we build data-driven profiles of your best customers and provide a real-time ICP-fit indicator so your team doesn't waste time on low-value/high-cost leads. This ensures you're spending your CAC acquiring customers who are primed to renew year after year and expand as they grow. The Top 10% of SaaS companies generate 87% of all market returns. CustomerOS gives you the data and tooling to compete with the top 10%.

Uncover high-fit leads engaging your brand

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We've built CustomerOS to find high-fit leads that are already interacting with your brand but haven't entered your sales funnel yet. The product scores your leads against your ideal customer profile (ICP), building data-driven profiles of your best customers. It provides a real-time ICP-fit indicator so your sales team can focus only on leads likely to convert and retain, saving time and reducing wasted spend.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in London, England, and plan to keep the company based there while operating a remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London is where we're based and connected; it's a good mix of tech talent and proximity to global SaaS companies who are our target customers. Running a remote team extends our reach without forcing relocation.
