Start by focusing on those who have already shown strong interest or success: your best, most engaged customers or the ones who fit your ideal profile (for example, founders who needed rapid MVPs or AI feature builds). Here is why: Targeting lookalikes of your best customers is the fastest way to find new leads who are likely to convert, as they share similar needs and urgency. Leadsforge can help automate the discovery of these profiles for you. Use it to quickly generate lists that closely match the characteristics of your current or imagined best customer base.

For a clever competitive boost, consider targeting people who follow companies similar to you or direct competitors. All you have to do is provide the competitor’s LinkedIn page link and their website; Leadsforge will take care of the rest—delivering a list of relevant followers you can reach out to next. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find those potential leads for you.

Segment lists by: 1) Founders/CEOs at seed & pre-Series A startups (focus: MVP speed/AI add-ons) 2) Heads of Product/CTOs at small SaaS firms (focus: adding/embedding AI) 3) Indie makers/solo founders (focus: fast one-thing launches) Filter further by company size, funding stage, and tech stack. Leadsforge makes this segmenting easy and exportable, tailored to your context.

Great verticals to prioritize are SaaS startups, indie app developers, and early-stage marketplace builders, especially in active funding geographies (like US, UK, and Canada). Here is why: These are the buyers who want rapid AI proof-of-concepts and MVPs—they align perfectly with StayBoba’s specialty. Using Leadsforge, you can generate these vertical/geo-specific lists fast with minimal effort.
