Qualify millions of data-signal-scarce leads

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

We built Leadbay to help sales teams find and qualify leads that have little or no data signals available anywhere else. Our product uncovers millions of leads that traditional tools can't find and qualifies them, giving customers a much larger and more accurate addressable market. For example, teams at L'Oréal and Nespresso have tripled their market and found 10x more qualified leads using our AI-driven platform.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company will remain based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and have access to skilled AI and B2B talent. It's also where many of our customers are, making communication and growth easier post-YC.
