555 Washington Ave, STE 310, St. Louis, MO, 63101, US

Overview

Leadpoet provides B2B sales teams with prospect lists that are filtered for real-time purchase intent by scanning social posts, fundraising announcements, hiring activity and other publicly available signals. Built on the decentralized Bittensor AI network, the platform lets independent model contributors compete to generate higher-quality outputs, which Leadpoet then validates, filters and scores before presenting to customers with contextual evidence. The system can also be deployed privately so enterprises can score their own prospect data without sharing it with a centralized vendor. In the first quarter after launch the company signed 26 B2B customers and reached an annualized revenue run-rate of roughly US$1 million, drawn from both subscription fees and token-based rewards earned on Bittensor. Leadpoet currently employs four people and is hiring a fifth. Founded by former Nasdaq colleagues Pranab Ramesh and Gavin Zentz, the company operates in the competitive sales-intelligence and intent-data market dominated by players such as ZoomInfo and Apollo. Management plans to expand engineering and go-to-market capacity and is preparing a larger seed round later this year.
