Hey Product Hunt Community 👋, Prospector simplifies contact research and automates sales outreach to help you identify and uncover new business opportunities. It’s the product I wish I had when we built Vidyard and it’s available today, for everyone. When we launched Vidyard, our most important activity was to talk with potential customers and translate those conversations into sales. But in the early days, we faced the classic startup challenge: nobody knew who we were. Every founder conquers this challenge in their own way, but most strategies come down to brute force. Our version of this was building a web crawler tasked to find businesses that had websites with videos embedded on the homepage. We ranked these businesses and manually uncovered contact details for each of them. Then every morning, I’d wake up, write, and send 100 personalized emails out to our list. This was a special but difficult time in my life. Slowly but surely, we began to receive responses. Was my outreach flawless? Far from it. I barely understood how to sell to other businesses. But I repeatedly found inspiration from individuals with whom my messaging struck a chord (one of whom became our first customer and later, my wife :)). This personalized outreach was our best early channel for growing Vidyard. From there, we learned the nuances of messaging, demand gen, and inbound marketing. Personalized outreach laid the foundation for everything we do, but implementing it is still a huge challenge for many founders and sellers today. We want to make it easier - which is why we’re excited to launch Vidyard Prospector today. You can use Vidyard Prospector to fully automate: ✅ Researching and sourcing new target leads ✅ Verifying and enriching their contact details ✅ Crafting and sending them hyper-personalized messages I would be so grateful if you give it a try - we would love to hear your feedback 🚀

Love what Mike and the team have built here! Sent it to our head of growth to try out today!

So excited for this product to be released! Can't wait to see user feedback!

Excellent tool that works as expected.

Excited for this to go live and the potential it has to improve how founders and early sales teams go to market! Having worked using manual processes with VA's, webscraping, and building outsourced sales teams, this is the time saver I wish I had :)

Super cool! Tried it out and was impressed with the generated copy 🤯

Game changer for Sales reps looking into growing pipeline in scale. Vidyard has years of expertise in connecting buyers and sellers, and it shows in how this amazing product was built! #AI is here!

Congrats on the launch @michaellitt and the Vidyard team! 🔥

Best of luck, Vidyard Prospector Team. Congratulations on your Launch 🚀!

I really like the idea of being able to use AI for prospecting because this will help us focus on the main tasks and not on the grunt work! keep up the superb launch!

as usual, time savers are my favorites! Congrats on making this possible!

Stoked to give this a try! And nothing like a great bootstrap story to start my day 💪🏼

This is amazing! Vidyard's been part of my stack for years, and I think productivity wise I would be crippled without this little alien. I gave the new product a spin, and I was stunned by the copy it created. 🤯

Such an exciting day as its finally available for everyone (outside of VY) to leverage. The quality and personalization of the AI generated emails is next level.

Prospector saves me time and gets consistent responses - what could I not love about this tool?!

Congrats on the launch! Wish you all the best, team!
