Ce que fait OpenFunnel

OpenFunnel is the Search Engine for GTM. Searching for "B2B SaaS, 501-1000 employees, uses Salesforce" - is just targeted spam. Even if you get creative with LLMs to query these databases, everyone has access to the same commoditized databases, these databases lack insights about right timing or pain-points prospects face. OpenFunnel is a time-aware search engine for insights and activities in your target segment - that reveal pain. You can search for activities like: "Find companies looking to implement usage based billing" "Find companies that moved from OpenAI to self-hosted models in the last 3-6 months" "Find companies who updated their pricing page to introduce an enterprise plan in the last 3 months" OpenFunnel continuously monitors these time-based signals, delivering actionable insights daily - so you have the fastest, unique insights that your competitors miss out on. Over 1000+ users are already discovering prospects through pain-first search, including some of the fastest-growing companies like Central, Mintlify, and Everest Systems.

Time-aware search for actionable B2B sales insights

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

We build OpenFunnel, a search engine that monitors your total addressable market and surfaces companies when customized triggers based on recent, relevant signals fire. Instead of static databases, we continuously track activities and signals like pricing page changes or tech stack shifts to uncover pain points and timing that traditional prospect lists miss. Sales and GTM teams use it to find prospects based on actionable, time-sensitive insights, not just firmographic data.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we and our small team live and work. It's the hub for B2B SaaS and AI startups, which helps with recruiting and customer engagement.
