The problem

Why do most cold emails go to the wrong companies?

Too broad

“Mid-sized companies in the US”

Lead databases give you thousands of names that match a filter. Almost none of them have your problem right now.

Full of competitors

Half the list sells what you sell

Search “.NET development” and you find other software houses. You pay to research them, then delete them.

No reason to call

“Just checking in” emails

Without a hiring post, a tender or a news item, your first email is about you. That's the one that gets ignored.

Contact databases give you people and leave you to work out who might buy. We give you the companies that fit, with the proof.

Find my customers

How it works

From your website to a list worth calling

  1. Add your website

    We read your services and case studies, not just your home page.

    Services, case studies, about pages

  2. Approve who you sell to

    We describe the companies that buy from you, each claim with the page it came from. Edit it, then approve it.

    Every claim with its source

  3. Find companies

    Companies hiring or tendering for what you do come first. Sellers are left out before research.

    Up to 40 companies researched

  4. Reach out

    Draft the first email from the reason to call, and send it from your own mailbox.

    You approve every email

See it working

Every company comes with a reason to call, and who to ask for.

Every company your searches find lands on one board, scored against what your best customers look like and explained, ready for you to qualify, reject or export.

The Pipeline: a board of companies to review, qualified, partners and exported, with one company open beside it showing who to ask for and why to contact them now
  • A fit score for every companyScored against each part of what your best customers look like, with the reason for every point.
  • Why contact them nowNews, tenders and job adverts, dated, each with its source.
  • Who to ask forThe people with your buyers' titles, and why each is worth approaching.

Shown with example data: the companies and people are made up.

What you get

Everything between “who should we sell to?” and the first email

Every feature is on every plan, Free included.

  1. Who buys from you

    Your best customers, worked out from your own website.

    We read your website, services and case studies and describe the companies that buy from you. Every claim links back to the page it came from, and nothing is searched until you approve it.

    Who your customers are, as the app shows it: industries, the kinds of company, the people who decide and where they are, and the problems you solve for them
  2. Find companies

    Companies hiring or tendering for what you do, first.

    A company advertising for a developer, or asking for bids on new software, needs help today. Searches look for those job adverts and open tenders first, in the words buyers use, not the pages where sellers like you advertise.

    Search · 3 kinds of customer tickedExample
    • Harrowgate Components · .NET developer, contractJob advert
    • Brightwater Distribution · ERP replacementOpen tender
    • “manufacturers association members”Trade body
  3. Other ways to find them

    Official registers, the web in plain words, and local businesses.

    Every company of a kind in a place, from its country's official register. Search the web the way you'd say it, like “POS companies in the UK”. Add a company you heard of, even one with no website.

    Other ways to find themExample
    • Manufacturers in Leeds · 214 foundRegister
    • “food distributors in Manchester”The web
    • Dental clinics in Austin, TexasLocal
  4. Tenders to bid on

    Open government tenders for software, read every day.

    India's government tenders for custom software, apps, reporting and support, checked once a day without spending a search, matched to who you sell to and judged against your turnover and years in business.

    Tenders to bid on · todayExample
    • Inventory and billing system for a state warehouseYou qualify
    • Mobile app for citizen servicesNeeds 5 years in business
  5. Skip list

    Competitors kept out, before you pay for them.

    A competitor scan, a quick look at every new homepage and your own rejections build a skip list. Say why you reject a company and the next search listens: a competitor or a customer is never offered again.

    New companies · checked before researchExample
    • Harrowgate Components Buyer
    • Brightcode Software Competitor
    • Top 50 UK software houses (list) Not a company
  6. Past customers

    More companies like your best customers.

    Upload your case studies, or press Search similar on a customer. We find the competitors of the companies you already work for: the warmest prospects there are, because you have done the job before.

    Companies like Kestrel EngineeringExample

    Kestrel Engineering · your customer

    • Ashby PrecisionCompetes with your customer
    • Marlow CastingsCompetes with your customer
  7. Every kind of customer

    Several kinds of customer, one search, and a scoreboard.

    Most firms sell to more than one kind of company. Search them all at once: a scoreboard shows which ones find real buyers, and the next search gives its time to the ones that are working.

    Find companies: three kinds of customer searched at once, with how many good companies each one found
  8. Pipeline

    A pipeline you work, not a spreadsheet you scroll.

    Every company found lands on a board, scored for fit with the reason for every point. Qualify, reject or mark as a partner, then export the ones you want.

    The Pipeline board: companies to review and qualified, each with its fit score, roles it is hiring and a reason to call
  9. Why contact them

    A reason to call now, with the source.

    News of an expansion, a takeover or a new leader; public tenders; jobs you could fill; and the agencies they work with today. Dated, linked, next to each company, and watched every week for something new.

    Why contact them: news, a tender and job adverts, each dated with its source, and why the company fits
  10. People to approach

    The right people, with addresses you can trust.

    Who to approach at each company, the people who buy first. Names are free; an email or phone comes from your own Apollo or Hunter only when you click for it, and each address can be checked before you send.

    People at Harrowgate ComponentsExample
    • Dana R.Head of IT · decides on buying Valid · from Apollo
    • Marcus T.Operations Director · decides on buying Get email Get phone
  11. Contacts

    Everyone you could call, in one list.

    Every person at every company, whoever on your team found them: email and where it came from, phones, LinkedIn profile and where you are with them. Filter, sort, edit, and download exactly what you see.

    Contacts · 48 peopleExample
    • Dana R. · Head of ITHarrowgate ComponentsProposal sent
    • Priya S. · Finance DirectorCalder PlasticsMet in person
    • Tom W. · CTOAshby PrecisionDo not contact
  12. Emails with proof

    Every first email opens with something you can prove.

    A job they posted, news, the technology they run (and when its support ends), or the closest project you've already done. An email with no proof is held until you add one. Two versions of the opening are tried, and the better one kept.

    Draft · Harrowgate ComponentsExample

    “Saw you're hiring a VB6 and .NET developer for your order system. Windows Server 2012 stopped getting fixes in 2023; we moved Kestrel Engineering off the same setup last year…”

    Proof: job advertPast project: KestrelVersion B

  13. Outreach

    Send from your own mailbox, at the right time.

    Gmail, Zoho or Outlook, with your signature and domain checks. Schedule an email for the recipient's morning, see replies in the thread, and work the follow-ups due today. You approve every email; an unsubscribe is honoured on its own.

    Follow-ups · Harrowgate ComponentsExample
    1. First email
    2. Day 3
    3. Day 7
    4. Day 14

    Day 3 scheduled · Tue 9:10 am, their time

  14. History

    Every company's whole story, in one place.

    Each search, email, reply, call and note on one timeline. Mention a colleague in a note, and hand over every company one person looks after to another in one go.

    History · Calder PlasticsExample
    1. 12 OctFound by a search: a new factory in the news
    2. 14 OctFirst email sent · Version B
    3. 17 OctReplied: interested, call next week
    4. 18 OctNote: @Chris can you join the call?
  15. Met in person

    The people you meet at events, kept.

    Take a photo of a business card and the details are read for you, even without signal. Send a thank-you the same day, and the company joins your pipeline with the rest.

    Met in person · Leeds Tech ExpoExample

    Business card read

    Sam O., Operations Director

    Marlow Castings · thank-you due today

  16. Your team, your Apollo

    Built for a team, with your Apollo kept private.

    Invite colleagues to look and decide. One assigned person searches and spends Apollo or Hunter credits; keys are encrypted and never shown again. Someone new can ask to join instead of starting over.

    Access · Northwind SoftwareExample

    Anna K.Owner · assigned user

    Chris L. asked to join

    Apollo key · encrypted · never shown again

  17. Ask Claude

    Ask about your companies in plain words.

    Connect Claude and ask which companies to call this week, or how two of them compare. Claude reads your research and, when you agree, starts a search for you.

    Claude · your companiesExample

    Which qualified companies have a reason to call this week?

    Three: Calder Plastics opened a factory, Harrowgate is hiring a .NET developer, and Brightwater's tender closes Friday.

Every email and phone number shows where it came from.

Emails and phone numbers come from your own Apollo or Hunter account, fetched only when you click for them. Each one says where it came from and whether it was checked, so you know which ones to trust. And nothing goes out on its own: you approve every email.

  • From your own accountsEmails come from the Apollo or Hunter account you connect; phone numbers only from Apollo.
  • Labelled and checkedEach one shows its source next to it, in the app and in your exports, and can be checked before you send.
  • None made upNo pattern like first.last@company. Nothing found: we say so.

Who it's for

Built for firms where the founder still sells

IT services firms and software agencies with 2 to 200 people, where the founder still does the selling and there is no full sales team.

  • IT services firms
  • Software agencies

About us

Finding clients shouldn't take longer than serving them.

For most firms that sell, prospecting means hours in a lead database: running searches, opening company after company, and trying to work out whether each one is a real buyer or just another competitor. Most of that time is wasted, and the first email still goes out with nothing to say.

Who Buys From You replaces that work. We read your website to understand who you serve, search the places buyers actually gather, and filter out competitors and poor fits before you spend a minute on them. What lands in your pipeline is a short list of companies that look like your best customers, each scored for fit, with a dated reason to get in touch and the person to ask for. When you're ready, you write the first email from that reason and send it from your own mailbox.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Apollo or another lead database?

A contact database gives you people and leaves you to work out who might buy. We start from your website and your past customers, decide which companies fit, and find real ones that can buy from you, each with a fit score, a sourced reason to call now and the person to ask for. You can still connect your own Apollo account to find more.

Do you send emails for me?

No. We decide who to contact and why. You approve every email, and send it from your own mailbox, or export the list to the tool you already use.

Where do email addresses and phone numbers come from?

From your own Apollo or Hunter account, when you click to fetch them. Every email and phone number is labelled with where it came from, and any address can be checked before you send, so you know which ones to trust. We never make one up from a name and a company. Phone numbers come only from Apollo.

Who is it for?

IT services firms and software agencies of about 2 to 200 people, where the founder or a small team still does the selling and there is no full sales team.

How do you decide which companies fit?

Before we look for anyone, we read your website and describe the companies that buy from you: who they are, what they struggle with, who inside them decides, and what shows they need you now. Every company we find is checked against it, part by part, and that is where its fit score comes from. Most firms sell to more than one kind of customer, so we usually describe a few kinds and you choose which ones to search for. Nothing is searched until you approve it.

Do I need to know who my best customers are already?

No. Most firms have never written it down. We work it out from your website, services and case studies, show you the evidence for each part, and you edit and approve it. You can also describe a customer in your own words, or start from a company you want to sell to.

Do I need Apollo?

No. Without it, searches use Google, Tavily and other search engines, and free company registers. Connecting your own Apollo account finds more companies, on your Apollo credits.

Who can see my Apollo key?

Nobody. It is encrypted before it is saved and never shown again, not to your colleagues and not to us. Only the one person you assign to search can use it, and every use is logged.

My company already uses Who Buys From You. Can I join it?

Yes. If you try to set up a website that another team already runs, we tell you, and you can ask to join that team instead of starting again. Your request is passed on to them, and their owners decide.

What counts as a search?

One press of Find companies, however many kinds of customer it covers. It researches up to 20, 30 or 40 companies on Starter, Growth or Scale (5 on Free). A search that fails on our side is given back.

Is the Free plan really free?

Yes. The Free plan gives you 1 search a month of up to 5 companies, for as long as you like, with every feature. No card needed.

How do the free trials of paid plans work?

You can try any paid plan free for 14 days, once, with up to 3 searches. At the end, choose the plan to keep it. If you do nothing, you move back to Free. Your results and exports stay yours either way.

Where are prices set?

Plans are monthly, in US dollars. Apollo is not included: it is billed by Apollo, on your own account. You can buy 5 extra searches at any time.

Can I find companies some other way than a search?

Yes. Pick every company of a kind in a place from its country's official register, search the web in plain words, find local businesses on the map, import your own list, or add a company you heard of, even one with no website. Each one is checked and scored the same way.

What makes the first email worth reading?

Every first email opens with something we can prove about the company: a job it posted, news, the technology it runs or when that stops getting fixes, and the closest project you have already done for someone like them. An email with no proof is held until you add one or decide to send it anyway.
