Crawdar
Build sourced business lists in plain English
We kept running into the same boring problem in a few of our companies: we knew the kind of businesses we wanted to find, but getting to a clean, useful list meant hours of Google tabs and spreadsheet cleanup.
So we built Crawdar internally. You just describe what you need in normal language, choose the geography and fields, and it searches public web sources and company websites. Each result keeps its source evidence, and you can refine the list, export it, copy it to Sheets or share it.
We have now opened it up for anyone to use. It is free and there is no signup required.
A lot of lead tools feel like buying a giant stale database. We wanted something closer to asking a researcher for a very specific list, then being able to check where every result came from.
Would really love blunt feedback, especially from anyone who does sales research, market mapping, recruiting, local business research, or sourcing every week. What is missing? Where does it get annoying? What would make you actually come back to it?

The source evidence angle feels like the strongest differentiator here. A clean list is useful, but being able to verify where each result came from makes it much more credible for research-heavy workflows.
Hey!
Most tools take your credit card on day one and don't care if your business dies three months later. We took a different route with Firmgrove, we built a free evaluation tool that gives your startup an honest score across 9 dimensions (unit economics, market size, demand validation, etc.).
If an idea scores below 70, the system literally blocks the upgrade.
Drop your startup idea. I’ll personally run it through Firmgrove’s Idea Evaluator and give you the full report showing where points were won or lost.
Please answer these questions:
What does your idea do?
Who is it for? The specific user or buyer you have in mind.
And roughly what sector is it in? For example fintech SaaS, dev tools, healthtech.
There are going to be more questions after, but I can answer them based on my guesses or you can fill up the form yourself at Firmgrove.
In return, I’d love your honest thoughts on the evaluation report itself. Did it spot a real risk or blind spot you were already thinking about?
