Leadpoet AI targets intent signals
Leadpoet AI — built on Bittensor — is pitching intent‑driven lead gen for B2B by scanning job posts, funding events, tech changes and social signals to surface high‑confidence buyers, and it reports $1M ARR with 26+ customers. The approach shifts outreach from cold lists to behaviorally scored accounts. (x.com)
Leadpoet closed a $750,000 pre‑seed round with backers that include DSV Fund and Astrid, and the startup was founded by Pranav Ramesh and Gavin Zaentz, who met while working at Nasdaq; the team is four people and is part of the NVIDIA Inception program. (completeaitraining.com) The product runs as Subnet 71 on the Bittensor network, positioning itself as a decentralized AI sales‑intelligence engine that leverages independent miners and validators to source and verify prospects. (subnetalpha.ai) Company founders said the subnet has indexed more than 1.1 million leads and uses double‑validation mechanics to check contact quality, while the roadmap calls for extending from intent surfacing into automated outreach and meeting booking. (youtube.com) (github.com) Astrid Intelligence disclosed increasing its operational position in Subnet 71 to around £500,000 of exposure — roughly 2,366 TAO‑equivalent subnet tokens — up from an initial 2,000 TAO committed on December 1, 2025. (proactiveinvestors.com) Leadpoet’s public GitHub shows roughly 1,360 commits and documents miner/validator requirements and the three‑validator consensus model used to approve leads before delivery. (github.com) The company reports a mixed revenue model that includes customer subscriptions plus token rewards from participating in Bittensor emissions, and it publishes a real‑time subnet dashboard at subnet71.com for transparency on performance and metrics.
