Hunted byKevin William DavidKevin William David

Sales teams have been stuck with stale databases for 15 years. Jesse changes everything.. the first internet-wide search engine built for sales & marketing. Ask in plain English: "Find newly opened soccer facilities in the Midwest needing turf solutions." Jesse scans the live web and finds the right buyers in the market today. We are an anti database company, we don’t scrape and store stale databases and sell them at premium. Every lead is found fresh from the live internet and delivered.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Sudipta, cofounder of Floworks.

Quick intro: I’m an IIT-Kgp grad. My first startup failed — and what stung was the reason. Not the product. We just couldn’t crack sales.

So I started Floworks and got into Y Combinator. Different company, same ghost: sales never got any easier.

We were spending hours building lead lists, only to discover half the people had changed roles, the signals were outdated, and the best accounts were hiding in plain sight.

So today we’re launching something close to my heart: @Jesse — a modern prospecting tool for GTM teams.

Think of it as a search engine, but for finding your next 100 customers.

Apollo and Clay scrape data once, then sell it back at a premium. By the time it reaches you, it’s stale — titles changed, companies pivoted, signals came and went.

Jesse searches the entire live internet on every query and hands you fresh leads.

We’re an anti-database company.

What’s more 👇

  1. Apollo gives you 8–10 filters. Clay makes you wire up data sources. Jesse just works.

    Write in plain English:

    🔎 “Looking for healthcare providers who just opened chemotherapy centres”

    🔎 “Find me 100 kids’ play facilities that just started a football academy and are seeing high footfalls”

  2. Jesse tells you which signals to look for.

    Building a fintech for debt collection? Jesse surfaces:

    🎯 VPs of Risk at mid-sized NBFCs ($5M–$50M ARR) posting about defaults / hiring underwriters — want real-time alternative credit-reporting APIs

    🎯 VPs of Compliance at digital neobanks (50–200 emp), newly appointed, replacing manual KYC/AML with a consolidated real-time API

    🎯 CTOs at Series A/B fintechs (100–500 emp) tired of juggling vendor APIs — want one unified identity + credit + AML API

  3. AE with named accounts every quarter?

    🕵️ Jesse finds the right people inside those accounts by reading decision-makers’ real online activity — posts, public appearances, forums

  4. A daily barrage of fresh leads, delivered to your inbox every morning. 📥

Since we launched, the adoption has been incredible:

  • 🚀 1.2k+ teams signed up

  • 🌍 From a real estate agent in Florida, to a fintech founder, to 4 Fortune 500 companies and one of the largest logistics companies in the world

  • 📈 50%+ WAU/MAU

  • 🔥 A constant rave across sales communities

These are still early days. I get a ton of messages from Jesse users on what to improve, and I personally read and act on every one.

I’d love your feedback — especially from founders and sales leaders who’ve lived the pipeline grind. What’s the most painful part of finding good leads for you? Happy to answer any questions! 🚀

Comment highlights

Initial test run with @Jesse crushed it! Great first impression, excited to keep cranking.

the anti database positioning is a clean differentiator against Apollo and Clay specifically, but it trades one set of problems for another. stale data means you contact someone who already churned or moved jobs. live search means you might miss someone who exists but just isn't visible online yet. neither is strictly better, they fail differently. curious which failure mode shows up more in practice for the example query you gave

Definitely interested in seeing how the results compare with more established prospecting tools.

Hi I am Sukanya.. Marketing lead at Omnify.

One challenge I constantly face is finding new prospects that are similar to the customers who already get the most value from our product. Can Jesse take a list of my target customers and identify lookalike companies that would be a strong fit for outreach?

The plain-English query example for hyper-targeted niches is brilliant. Since it's scraping and analyzing live web data on the fly, are there any constraints on the number of leads or companies Jesse can pull per query, or does it scale seamlessly for larger market mapping?

I think the live web search can be a huge delta in tools like these. It can solve for the freshness of the data always there in the tool.

I think this is a cool concept. Looking forward to testing this out. All the best for the launch, guys.

We run a lean sales team at a B2B tech company, and our biggest frustration with Apollo has always been the same: by the time we're working a list, half the signals are already cold. Someone changed roles, the company raised a round three months ago, the moment has passed. Jesse's approach makes intuitive sense. Search the live web at query time rather than sell you a cached version of it. The plain English prompting is genuinely useful; I can describe the situation I'm looking for, not just firmographic filters. Still early days for us but the leads it's surfaced so far have been notably more contextually relevant than what we'd pull from a traditional database. From what I've seen of Sarthak and Sudipta and the team they've built, I'm confident this product will only keep getting better and better.

I've been running into this exact problem with Apollo so Jesse looks like a fresh gust of air.

Is there an additional verification layer?
Because many small businesses will not have their information updated on all channels, I wonder how any conflict is handled and whether there is a way to check the validity of that information that turns up through searches.

cool...yet to try ...have use apollo and clay...when you say you are not scraping or getting from database what do you mean by found fresh from live internet without scraping live??

We were using Clay at Requestly.

Shifted to Jesse 3-4 weeks back. Much simpler. You just tell what kind of company you are looking for and it finds.

Happy with it so far. Congrats on launch!

Looks good - but for someone who already uses LinkedIn SalesNav - how's it different and what more can it add??

Congrats on the launch Sudipta & team! Looks very cool. How do you determine that an email is "verified"? Also is there an API integration as well?

The stale-list problem is even worse down-market, Sudipta. I prospect local businesses (insurance agents, salons, clinics) and Apollo/Clay basically don't have them, or the data is years out of date. A live, plain-English search is exactly the gap there. Genuine question: how does it do on small local SMBs vs the enterprise/BFSI examples? That long tail is where every list tool falls apart. Congrats on the launch.

I did a people search but there is no contact information or LinkedIn profiles. Am I missing something? I’m on the free plan.

Interesting positioning. How do you balance 'live internet search' with getting consistent, structured lead data at scale?
