Tired of opening LinkedIn profiles in tabs and reading them one by one? We built Find AI to replace that. Find AI is Perplexity-style search over LinkedIn-type data. Ask vague questions, and the AI will find results for you - doing the work of a human analyst in just a few seconds. As a team of former founders, we built Find AI to help find initial customers for our products. Over time, we realized that finding and contacting the right people is a massive problem - whether you're fundraising, recruiting, or investing. The results are really impressive - try searches like: - Find Technical CTOs who are former lawyers - Find potential local speakers for my AI infrastructure event in NYC - Startups with an MD cofounder building specialized telemedicine care products within a particular area of speciality, such as dermatology (And, if you find the result useful - click "Follow" to get emails when new matches are found.) The platform currently knows tech companies and people, but working to scale up the database. Let us know your use case, and we'll help tailor the product to your needs. P.S. Use the code PRODUCTHUNT to try the paid plan free for a month

@philipithomas this is cool! I’m a founder and have worked in VC in the past. Platforms like PitchBook and LinkedIn have a ton of legitimate data, but search and discoverability there feels archaic. And PitchBook costs a fortune just for access. I usually go to Google to search something like “Leila startups founder series B LinkedIn”, then use SEO results to find the LinkedIn / PitchBook profile. Seems like with find you’re wrapping them into one simple platform. Question - where is your data from and how complete is it? Can I really depend on this as a trusted alternative to searching on Google?

@emmalawler24 Thanks for the comment! All three cofounders of this product are repeat founders, and we built Find AI based on our own needs of finding early customers. We found that we had hypothesis of who our first customers would be - such as "Former YC founders who are now VCs". We built Find AI to solve that problem. We were surprised that many of our first paying customers were VCs. They were trying to keep up with which AI startups were launching, so we built the live-updating searches feature for them. You can now get email alerts as we discover new companies that launch. Our data is entirely proprietary, based on scraping. We're really good at finding companies just as they launch - often while the founder's LinkedIn still says "Stealth." Google doesn't do a good job of surfacing new companies, whereas Find AI is built for it.
