Sunrise Leads

B2B lead gen in small batches. We create custom target account and buyer lists, offering specificity beyond standard databases. We then leverage outreach, engagement & content to break into new markets, launch products, and scrutinize outcomes. 

For brands that have found product market fit, we offer a pay only for results pilot test.

Solutions that we've generated leads for: intelligent automation, alternative data, visual intelligence (smart security cameras that can pick up threats), an underwater football league (yup!), file storage, & accounting.

Every single one of my clients did NOT ask, 'have you worked with a solution like ours before.' They asked better questions. DM me and I'll send you the list of questions to ask your lead gen agency.


Let your hunters hunt. We'll handle the rest.
