Hello, I am thrilled to announce that Telescope is officially launching today on Product Hunt! For anyone needing to generate a targeted list of B2B leads, Telescope is not just an AI tool - it’s a game-changer. Once you experience it, you won’t look back. Trusted by thousands of companies, it is invaluable for acquiring new clients, conducting market research, and scheduling customer development calls How does it work? 3 simple steps: Tell it who you are looking for: it’s not just a keyword search. You actually talk to it in your own words, and it will understand the context behind your request. Fine tune the AI by swiping a few times. As you interact with it, the model will quickly get more accurate. There is also an AI live chat all the time, which you can continuously talk to as needed to give it more feedback. Generate a large list. Once the AI get’s enough understanding of who you’re looking (typically after ~5 swipes), you can press a button to get a large list of your highly target leads with all their contact info. To celebrate, we’re offering a 20% discount on all our paid plans to the Product Hunt community. To redeem, simply sign up for Telescope and enter the promotional code “LAUNCH20” at the checkout page. A heartfelt thank you to anyone who made this happen, our team, investors and especially the thousands of wonderful users who provided us with daily feedback. Thank you for trying Telescope. We would be delighted to have you join our community. We are keen to receive your feedback.

@antonikozelski Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Antoni. Delighted to hear that.

@reza_javan same question here. I think you should provide some extra information about where those leads come from Also consider adding it to FAQs question a consider too moving FAQs to bottom of the landing page, since is only visible in pricing and not all questions are about pricing
Junqueror
@reza_javan congratulations on the launch! It really looks good to provide tons of value with minimum effort. I liked the idea of using a swapping on the fine tunning step, it really could provide a great user experience. Is it implemented or do you consider adding a LinedIn integration? I mean, to connect with those emails not only by email, but also by LinkedIn contact and chat
Reza Javan

@junqueror Fantastic feedback! Many thanks. Agree with you. We should explain this better in our landing page, and bring the F&Q to the bottom of the landing page 👌 We will do that 🙏 To answer your question regarding where our data comes from, Telescope augments data from over 75 different data providers, which includes data from LinkedIn as well as numerous other sources. We do ensure that each lead we recommended to a user comes with their LinkedIn profile. We also use a "waterfall system" for finding email addresses, which means we call countless different APIs until we find someone's valid email. In other words, if Telescope cannot find someone's email, no one else has that email either, and it is extremely unlikely you can find their email using any other platform. Hope this helps.

Where do you scoop up the leads from? LinkedIn or? And what's the next step after curating a list of leads, what tools do you recommend using for reaching out etc?

@sentry_co Telescope augmentes data from over 75 different data providers, which includes data from LinkedIn as well as numerous other sources. Having said that, we ensure each lead we recommended to a user comes with their LinkedIn profile

@sentry_co Telescope already comes with email automation features. Once you create a campaign, you can click on "Enable outreach" from inside of the campaign where you can set up automated email sequences with custom variables and cadences. Our email automation feature also has sophisticated protection in place so that your email domain is protected at all times. For instance, it randomises the time each email is sent (like every 5-10 minutes, rather than sending 50 all at once) and it will not send more than ~50 emails a day so that your emails do not end up in spam folder). If you add more than 50 emails in your campaign, it just puts them in a queue for you and will send them later at an appropriate time.

@sentry_co Alternatively, you can easily connect Telescope with other tools, such as ActiveCampaign as well as most CRMs (Hubspot, Salesforce etc), so you can find leads on Telescope but send the outreach with other tools that you may already be using.. Another option is to just download the list of leads you find on Telescope into a CSV file, and then upload into any other automation tool. Hope this helps

@reza_javan Nice. Yeah. Automation is very sensitive these days. Once you get into the black books of email providers. Its hard to get out of it again 😅
Reza Javan
Maker
@sentry_co Yes, completely agree. My advice is always best to be laser focused and only reaching out to people who are the right fit. Quality over quantity every time... Hopefully with Telescope, our users can now have both quality and quantity.
Majid Izadi
seems good, couldnt try it, has a sign-up by google option but after doing the auth gives error "Please use a professional email address to signup."
Mirjalol Shavkatov
@m4jiz yep same error, is Telescope only for b2b people?
Reza Javan
Maker
@m4jiz Hello Majid, unfortunately, we do not allow users to sign up with personal emails (Gmail, hotmail, yahoo etc). However, any work email will work. It could be any website, as long as it's not from a free email provider.
Reza Javan
Maker
@m4jiz @mirjalol_shavkatov Hi Mirjalol, yes, Telescope is entirely for B2B purposes only. We are headquartered in the UK and have to follow the GDPR rules very strictly. You will not find any personal emails on Telescope. However, if you are looking to connect with other people in other companies, Telescope is the perfect app to do this.
Majid Izadi
@reza_javan i get that, but then why put the feature in your website?
Reza Javan
Maker
@m4jiz Many companies use Google workspace, so they can now sign up to Telescope with a click of a button. The reason we restrict sign up with personal emails is due to our free trial and the credit system. Unfortunately, the running of Telescope has a very high computational cost as with every swipe a user makes we perform massive amount of processing in the background. We found that if we let anyone sign up with a personal email, this sadly leads to some individuals who abuse our free trials and credit systems. I apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. If you have an email account that is from an actual website (rather than Gmails, Yahoo, Hotmail etc) you can sign up to Telescope for free. Thank you for your understanding :)
Andriy Semenets
The product is looking good! Any plans on expanding the functionality to be able to reach out to these leads (e.g., email campaigns)?
Kehui Guo
@semanser Agree, it would be ideal to automate the email campaigns with some level of personalization on the platform as well!

Sooo many use cases for this. Where are you sourcing leads/data, @reza_javan?
Reza Javan

@rrhoover Thank you so much, Ryan. A comment from the legend himself 🔥 Truly appreciate your support. We augments data from ~75 different data providers, which includes data from LinkedIn as well as numerous other sources. We do ensure that each lead we recommend to a user comes with their LinkedIn profile. For finding email addresses, we use a "waterfall system”, which essentially means we call numerous different APIs of different data providers until we find someone's valid email. It’s somehow similar to Clay, except, we take all the complexity out of it for our users.

Tyrone Robb
Congrats on the launc @reza_javan and team. 3 years is a long time. Is this your first public release post beta or just your first time coming to PH? How well does it do do for searching smaller companies/people from them? It looks like you are scraping data too? Sometimes AI hallucinates when the data is not sufficient for the prompting.
Reza Javan
Maker
@ty_robb Thank you, Tyrone. First time doing a public release :) Telescope works exceptionally well especially when you are targeting SMBs. Would love for you to try it and let us know what you think. We do not scrap any data ourselves. We work with +75 different data providers and augment data from multiple different sources.
Germán Merlo
Wow Reza! It actually blowed my mind. Loved the way on how you tell the AI what are you looking for. It's especially useful for B2b founders and all of those are gonna be more than happy with Telescope. Keep up on that way!

Steffi Nicolaïdes
Hi @reza_javan! Congrats on your launch!! I only have one question for now, but is Telescope have enough data for the French market for example? We are a SaaS company looking now on the French market, but will expand on the US market soon. You can check it out, and have your opinion on it if you want, it can actually help you to see in 1 click the impact of your marketing on your leads. It's called Mayze.io Thanks for your response! Can't wait to hear from you!

@steffi_nicolaides Hi Steffi, yes, we have a great coverage for the french market, and many of our users are from France. I am sure you will find it helpful. Please give it a try and let us know what you think. Always here in case you have any questions or feedback. Welcome to the community! I will look at your website as well :)

@boris_moris44 Thank you for your kind words, Boris. Means a lot. You are not the first person who has said this to us. I still think Apollo is a great platform. But Telescope is the better choice for those who care about being targeted, and don't want to "spray and pray".

I can see a future where recruiters and sales are just swiping left and right all day! And they can tell their boss they are working lol. Seriously though, this is pretty interesting take on generating leads for outbound folks. I love how simple the flow is and you explain that super well with visuals on the landing page. Congrats @reza_javan and team!

@tonyhanded Thank you so much, Tony. Appreciate the kind feedback. We hope that within the next few months, Telescope's AI becomes so much smarter that even swiping will no longer be needed :) Exciting times ahead!
