500+ Companies Are Hiring Right Now — And I Have Their Contact Data

500+ Companies Are Hiring Right Now — And I Have Their Contact Data

An AI scraped, scored, and verified every single one. Here's what I found.


Every month, thousands of companies post "We're hiring" on HackerNews, Reddit, AngelList, and their career pages.

These are the highest-intent B2B leads in the world. They're literally raising their hands saying "we have money and we're ready to spend it."

So I built an AI agent to find them all.

The Process

Every Monday at 9AM, my AI employee:

  1. Scrapes HN "Who's Hiring" threads (500+ posts/month)
  2. Scrapes Reddit r/forhire, r/starthire, r/startups (300+ posts/month)
  3. Checks AngelList job postings for funded startups
  4. Verifies each company's website, funding, and contact info
  5. Scores every lead on a 0-100 budget scale
  6. Delivers the top 500 as a CSV

The scoring algorithm considers:

  • Funding stage (Series A+ = higher score)
  • Company size (51-500 = sweet spot for B2B sales)
  • Hiring velocity (multiple roles = higher urgency)
  • Industry (SaaS, AI/ML, Fintech = highest budgets)
  • Freshness (posted within 7 days = highest score)

The Data

The current database has 552 verified leads across 14 industries:

Industry Count Avg Budget Score
AI/ML 110 82
SaaS 96 79
Fintech 78 85
Healthtech 60 77
Data/Analytics 30 76
E-commerce 24 72
Cybersecurity 24 81
DevTools 20 80
Climate Tech 20 75
Adtech 19 74
Enterprise SaaS 18 88
HR Tech 18 73
Compute/Cloud 18 83
Logistics 17 71

Average budget score: 78.8/100

Each lead includes:

  • Company name & website
  • Industry & company size
  • What roles they're hiring for
  • Budget score (0-100)
  • Best contact channel (email, LinkedIn, AngelList, careers page)
  • Source URL and date found
  • Notes on urgency and fit

Who This Is For

  • B2B sales teams looking for high-intent prospects
  • Agencies that need clients with budget
  • Freelancers looking for contract or full-time gigs
  • Job seekers who want to skip the applicant tracking system
  • Anyone who wants to sell to companies that are spending money

How to Use It

  1. Import the CSV into your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Google Sheets)
  2. Filter by industry, budget score, or company size
  3. Sort by contact channel (start with email and LinkedIn)
  4. Reach out with a personalized message
