Show HN: Leadngin.com finally launched my startup after 18months of stealth.

So after 18months of working on my startup Leadngin.com we're finally ready to launch. Our first user was in fact Swombat with GrantTree who is still with us today. Many more HN users have since scaled their sales process with us! Let me know if you have any questions and be sure to point out anything we're doing wrong.

I would be interested in finding out more about this service and possibly using it, but I have no idea how it works from looking at the info page. Generate leads - ok, how? Why does it cost me a $99 setup? How does it fullfill the 1-50 daily leads promise?

Would also love an answer to this.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree we should be clearer in regards to how it works. I'll put an example up there over the next couple of days.

In regards to the setup fee. We spend a bit of time before on-boarding where we get to know who is receiving leads in a team and who you are targeting. We didn't want to exclude small companies who start small and grow big and in some cases they were only using 1-5 leads a week. With an account balance it meant they didn't drop off after a couple of weeks and continued to receive leads until they had chance to see benefit.

At first we were all about the £1,000 per month minimum spend. Then we realised that two of our users spending that spent no more than £100 on their first invoice.

Great to see this finally become public. I've been a huge supporter of Mark from the beginning of his journey.

You've got to give this a try, the quality & accuracy of the leads produced go above and beyond what you'd think possible.

FYI, we (GrantTree) are that first client. GrantTree has had enormous ROI from this lead source - much better than the other lead sources we had found before.

Also, this is one of those products where the MVP was an email.

I'm interested but I'm curious where the leads are coming from. If they are scraped leads from public data sources I would pass, but if you have access to a source I can't get my hands on then this is something I would pay for my team to use.

We pull in data from private and public sources and the real magic isn't crawling or scraping data. It's what we do to make sense of the data, the information we can link together and using the data to understand businesses and the individuals inside them.

I'd be happy to talk more if you want to reach out to me at m@leadngin.com

Sounds great, we are doing similar to this ourselves now but it's time consuming and I'd love to outsource it.

Can you already source leads with a different language than English? Most relevant for me: Can you find leads within Germany/Austria/Switzerland?

Interesting question...

I have no idea, we honestly haven't thought of this one bit. Send me an email at team@leadngin.com and I would be happy to test this for you.

Do you have any plans of publishing a case study? I would be interested in reading that before evaluating the service.

Yes! We've got something in the works for next week in regards to lead generation and investor information. With permission we will also release the dataset and make it public.

Great. I'd be interested in the case study when it's ready. I shot you an email too. Looks like it could be a good fit for us.

Perfect. Can you send me an e-mail? I want to learn more.

Sure, I will reach out to you!

What does a complete lead mean?
