Workflow Steps

1

ExploreYC

Export company data

Use ExploreYC's filters to find companies matching your ideal customer profile (industry, stage, location). Export the list as CSV with company names, descriptions, and founder details.

Zapier

Trigger on new CSV upload

Set up a Zapier trigger that activates when you upload the CSV to a designated Google Drive folder. Configure it to parse each row of company data.

Claude (via API)

Research and score leads

Send each company's description and details to Claude with a prompt to: assess product-market fit, identify key pain points your solution could solve, and assign a lead score (1-10). Format output as structured data.
