Hello everyone. If you're struggling to find your first hundred paying customers for your startup, I've found a solution that I've personally used. I read https://www.blockchain-council.org/info/...-startups/ a helpful article “How Lead Generation Companies Help B2B Startups Find Their First 100 Customers” and it made me rethink how to approach this. According to that article, good lead gen firms do much more than handing you raw lists. They start with market mapping, figuring out your ideal customer profile, what roles matter, what industries you should target. Then they enrich data — not just emails and names, but job titles, pain points, tech stacks. They often run outbound campaigns (email, LinkedIn, phone) on your behalf using tailored messaging. Plus, they do lead qualification, filtering out people who are just browsing vs those ready to talk.
