Leadsforge is the prospecting product in Salesforge's Forge stack: a lead search engine you talk to. Describe your ideal buyer in plain language and it returns a verified, enriched list from more than 500M contacts, using waterfall enrichment across multiple B2B data providers for emails, LinkedIn profiles and phone numbers.
Product Overview
Most prospecting databases make you learn their filter logic; Leadsforge replaces the filters with a chat prompt. Beyond ICP search it offers several list-building routes: lookalikes of accounts you have already won, people following a given company's page, leads triggered by signals such as funding, acquisitions or job changes, and local businesses pulled from Google Maps. Every lookup cascades across providers until a verified result comes back. Pricing is by credit rather than by seat, credits never expire, and lists export to CSV or straight into Salesforge.
RevOps Jobs-to-Be-Done
- Build ICP lists without filter expertise — Describe the target company and persona in plain language and get a verified list. KPI: Faster list building for founders and SDRs without a data ops specialist.
- Lookalike and competitor-follower prospecting — Turn closed-won accounts into lookalike lists, or target people following a competitor's page. KPI: Higher-intent lists than generic firmographic filters.
- Signal-triggered outreach — Pull companies and contacts from funding, acquisition, investment or job-change events. KPI: Outreach timed to a buying trigger.
