Hello Product Hunters! I’m the CTO of Telescope, and for the past 3 years we’ve made it our mission to make B2B prospecting more effective and quite frankly, fun. We took a huge step forwards in this mission when we launched Telescope a few months ago. But pretty much the day after we launched, we had a celebratory pizza and got back to work. And today, we are beyond excited to unveil to you what we’ve been tinkering with since then… Introducing your very own research agent: Telescope with Smart Criteria Up until now you’ve had to adhere to standard filters and keywords to find the companies and leads you’re after. But with Smart Criteria you can filter by whatever you want! ❌Headcount: 50-100 ✅Company must have at least 5 Product Managers and nobody working in QA ❌Industry: Software Development ✅Company must be a SaaS company developing a mobile app ❌ Graduation year: <2015 ✅ Lead should have graduated with a degree in a finance-related field from a top-level university 10+ years ago With Smart Criteria you can take the guesswork out of prospecting and make sure you’re meeting highly relevant people. And with Telescope understanding your needs and actioning them in seconds, you can save yourself a bunch of time whilst you’re at it. The process is still 3 simple steps: 1) Tell your agent who you’re looking for in your own words (and add any filter you want through Smart Criteria) 2) Review the sample of qualified leads Telescope generates for you 3) Automatically fill your pipeline with highly-researched, relevant leads What else have you added? 🤑We’ve a bit lost our minds and updated our pricing: you can now get unlimited leads completely free! 🔎 Similar company search: you can upload a list of companies and find lookalike companies in seconds 🏢Account based research: have a list of target accounts? Simply upload them, suggest some job titles and we’ll do the rest to bring you the best people to contact from each company In the last few years this space has changed dramatically - from AI personalised emails to automated outreach and even robot cold-calling! But one thing has remained the biggest factor on whether your B2B outbound is successful or not: high-quality, relevant lead and company data. Try it out today (for free)! Why trust us at all? Well we hope you’ll give us a go before reaching your conclusions, but just in case it helps - we’re backed by top investors like Sequoia and Entrepreneur First, and our platform is already trusted by over 10,000 companies. Further, to celebrate our launch, we’re offering a 50% discount on all our annual plans to the Product Hunt community. To redeem, simply sign up for Telescope and enter the promotional code “PH50” at the checkout page. A huge thank you to everyone who’s been on this journey with us: our team, investors and especially the thousands of wonderful users who keep us on our toes! We’re immensely proud to have built this together - we can’t wait to see what you think

As a user of Apollo I really love to try a product that not just helps me to find people, but actually helps me to understand who I should look for. Congrats on your launch!

Love the UX of smart crtiteria! I wonder though, if I can edit the query later. Imaigne I'm OK with my initial search of companies with nobody working in QA, I want to keep my search results, but extend them with companies with one person working in QA

Wow, I like the examples of niche criteria shared in makers comment, will give it a spin! ✨

Telescope 2.0 is an absolute powerhouse for user research! 🔍 The enhancements in this version make it even easier to gather insights and understand your audience better. Love how it simplifies the research process while delivering actionable data. Kudos to the team for building such a valuable tool—wishing you all the best with the launch!

Imagine having a lead research agent that tailors its search to exactly what you need. That's a game-changer, right there. Congrats to the team!👍😊

This tool is truly unique! I’ve never seen a lead generation platform that makes things so straightforward and efficient. Great job on the launch!!✨✨

Smart Criteria sounds like such a time-saver! The idea of being able to filter leads down to super specific details is really appealing—finally, a tool that lets you focus on exactly what you need without digging through tons of irrelevant info. Definitely curious to see how this works in action!

Finally, something that stops me from stalking LinkedIn profiles all day! 🕵️‍♂️

I was skeptical at first but after using trytelescope ai lead generation tool for few weeks i have generated targeted leads. kudos to the simple yet Effective UI but would like to know how often is the data updated? will i get the same leads if i try with the same keywords a month later?

I'm a Telescope power user. By far the best way to generate revenue without wasting time on bad targeting. CEO has cool glasses too

I just tried it, and I think it’s a must-have. I’ll definitely be recommending it to our business team!

Is it like LinkedIn for AI-era? I like it! And the pricing options seems ok.

I just tried your product, and I was genuinely surprised that it recommended customers who would actually benefit from our product. Thank you for creating such an amazing tool!

looks like such a powerful tool:) The Smart Criteria feature is a brilliant addition, it feels like it can make lead generation so much faster and more targeted. Great job on the launch🙌

This looks awesome! Love the real-time search. Can i integrate it with other tools?

Seems like a really useful tool. Would love to try it out. 💯

Keen to know now what info do you actually able to collect. Looks nice from the first sight 👍🏻

A great product with a great team committed to creating a best in class sales prospecting agent.

Wow, this sounds like a huge leap forward for B2B prospecting! The Smart Criteria feature is so exciting—being able to filter leads with such precision (like ‘SaaS companies developing mobile apps’ or ‘finance-related degrees from top universities’) feels like a game-changer. And offering unlimited leads for free? That’s crazy generous. Definitely going to give Telescope a try. Congrats on the launch and on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in outbound prospecting!
