This is real, unedited data
The leads below come directly from a production campaign run on the platform. Nothing was cherry-picked or cleaned up — you're seeing the same output the user received in their Excel export.
Filters drive accuracy
Our job is to help you tighten filters — rating thresholds, price levels, review minimums, categories — so the AI scores leads more accurately for your specific use case.
We don't guarantee conversion
Lead quality depends entirely on your filters, persona description, and scoring thresholds. Lode Leads finds, scores, and enriches — but whether a lead converts is up to how well your filters match your actual business needs. The tighter your criteria, the higher the qualification rate.
I'm trying to reach startup founders who recently raised funding. We sell to companies in early growth mode — they're our best customers. Can you help me find them on Twitter?
Twitter is great for this — founders often tweet publicly about their raises. To narrow it down: What industries are you focused on? And how recent should the announcements be — last week, last month?

mainly SaaS and fintech, last 30 days or so
Got it. I'd search for phrases like "raised our seed round", "just closed Series A", "backed by investors" — filtered to English tweets with 50+ likes so we get signal quality, not noise. Max 80 results. Should I set this up as Funded Fintech/SaaS — VC Announcements?
