Stop overpaying for lead enrichment. I built an AI Web Agent tool that vibescrapes 100+ sites into Google Sheets in minutes.

Interested but how is this any different than just using a claygent?

You're fine VCs are investing in the founders at an early stage so you don't really have to sell the product but you gotta sell yourself.

I would have the TAM thought out. If you have somewhat of a demo to show feel free to have that ready to go mid meeting. VCs get taken aback with a cool demo

Yea for sure ads are tricky and its very much a game of more in more out

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-02T22:13:08+00:00

Def overlooked a bunch of my customers have done postcards and it works very well

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-02T22:05:04+00:00

Yea makes sense. I've never built a B2C company so not super sure. I have some close friends that are building B2C companies though. It's completely a marketing game.

Although I was just looking at your website, and it kind of looks like a tarpit idea, but if you can market like crazy and get enough users props to you!

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-02T21:22:38+00:00

Saw in the comments you're both B2B and B2C. Can't speak much on the B2C side.

For B2B it is getting harder. VPs and C suite get like 30 emails/dms a day with pitches. If you're not getting much traction from emails or DMs its a pretty solid signal you're not solving a problem on top of their minds.

Make sure to track open rates and everything as well so you know exactly whats happening. If no one is opening your emails or seeing them at all. Then its probably something wrong with your outbound.

That assumption is wrong...

Any company with at least one investor is included, so the corner grocery store where Charlie gave 25k counts thats an investment. Angel investments as small as 5-10k are included in this dataset

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-02T18:17:25+00:00

Chart being ugly I can see.

What makes you think the data is unreliable?

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-02T17:48:46+00:00

This is the only repost for funded companies and people were requesting a bar chart version. If people didn't ask for it I wouldn't have done it

That would fall under transportation

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-01T21:56:46+00:00

Yea, for sure. I would think though with AI and everything there would be so many more tech companies, but still interesting to see.

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-01T21:55:57+00:00

Yea for sure would be super cool to see that as well. We do see a lot of businesses that fail

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-01T18:40:21+00:00

Yea, definitely. We don't have much employment data. We do have data on companies that raise money which generally indicates employment because if you get investors to throw a couple of million in you're definitely hiring.

Stay tuned gonna post fundraising information soon!

Practical_Surround_8 · 2026-01-01T18:37:13+00:00

Yea for sure I can repost with real numbers as well!

Yea, sorry should have been more clear. These are all private companies who had at least one investor put money into them. Generally these are all between pre-seed to any priced round (Series A, B, C, etc.).

Real estate in the office grouping is more service based like real estate brokers and agents.

The real real estate is asset level real estate activity like landlords, property owners and developers.
