Daily Leads

What Daily Leads are

Daily Leads is your worklist for the day. Instead of opening Fundz to a blank search bar, you start with a curated set of companies that already match who you sell to and that have recently done something worth reaching out about — raised a round, hired into a key role, expanded, or shipped a product.

Every lead arrives with three things attached: the reason it surfaced today, the fused company profile behind it, and verified contacts you can act on. The goal is simple — open Fundz, work the list top to bottom, and reach out while the timing still matters.

How ranking uses your ICP

Overnight, Fundz scores companies against your ideal-customer profile — the industries, company sizes, locations, roles, and the plain-language description of what you sell and who you sell it to. Companies that match more of that profile, and that have a fresher or stronger buying signal, rank higher.

Because ranking is driven by your profile rather than a fixed feed, two people on the same plan see different Daily Leads. The more specific your profile, the sharper the list — vague targeting produces a broad list, tight targeting produces a list you can act on without second-guessing.

The reason to reach out

The most valuable part of a lead isn't the company name — it's the why now. Each Daily Lead names the signal that surfaced it: a new funding round, an executive move, an office expansion, a product launch, a new agreement. That signal is your opening line.

For deeper context, open the company profile from the lead. There you get the full fused view — funding timeline, executives, acquisitions, agreements, products, hiring, and verified contacts — plus Verified Signals™ badges that show whether a round's stated plans are corroborated by independent evidence like hiring postings or filings. See Company Profiles for the full breakdown.

Acting on a lead

Daily Leads is built to take you from "interesting" to "sent" without leaving the flow. From any lead you can:

1. 1
   Open the company profile to read the full context — the funding event, the people, and the Verified Signals™ evidence behind the round.
2. 2
   Pick a verified contact. Each lead surfaces the right people at the company, so you're not stopping to find an email address.
3. 3
   Launch SmartSend right from the contact. When a contact has an email, the SmartSend button is available on the lead — draft a relevant, signal-grounded outreach sequence and send it from your own inbox.

Tuning your list with Lead Targeting

If your Daily Leads feel off — too broad, the wrong industries, the wrong size of company — the fix is your targeting, not the list. Daily Leads is only as good as the profile it scores against.

1. 1
   Open Lead Targeting from your account settings.
2. 2
   Set your industries, company sizes, and locations to match the accounts you actually win.
3. 3
   Write your Business Profile — a plain-language description of what you offer and who it's for. This is the single source the scoring (and SmartSend) reads, so keep it accurate and current.
4. 4
   Save. Your next day's leads are scored against the updated profile.

How leads are delivered

Your leads are waiting in the app each morning and, when you opt in, summarized in a daily email so you see the day's best accounts without logging in first. The email is a starting point — open the lead in Fundz to see the full context and to send.
