A simple tool for getting contact info for YC companies and founders

Hi IH 👋

I am in the early stages of building a B2B SaaS product and wanted to get feedback from my target customers: early stage startups.

I choose YC companies as my initial list of companies to reach out to. To keep the process fun, I created a mini-app to help me get contact information for the specific YC companies I wanted to reach out to.

I just made it available to others Indie Hackers and founders looking to do the same. I called it YCRM. Check it out and let me know what you all think!

After downloading YC company contact information, it's easy to plug it into any CRM of your choice. I used SendGrid because they have generous 100 email a day free tier. With YCRM + SendGrid, I was able to automate an email campaign to hundreds of companies and have dozens of invaluable conversations with YC founders.

Right now, payment is required to download information, but message me on Twitter if you'd like free access.

    Love the name. Is this meant for B2B Sales?

      Hi @alvivanco, it can definitely be used for B2B sales. It is a general purpose tool for getting in contact with YC companies/founders.

      My use-case was for user research and early partners, but others have used it for sales and to get advice for fundraising.
