Expandable rationale + sharper signals

New

Expand any company in your ranked shortlist.Not just your #1 — click any account in the ranked list to see why it scored where it did, the decision-maker to reach, and a drafted first message.

Improved

Departures & promotions are now strictly recent.We added a freshness gate so a years-old leadership change never shows up as a brand-new signal. Driven directly by recruiter feedback.

Improved

Cleaner "now at" context on departures.We no longer mistake a board seat for someone's current operating role.

Fix

Smoother sign-in.If your account uses a magic link, we now guide you to it instead of showing a confusing "wrong password" error.

Transparent ranked shortlist

New

"Top accounts to work right now," ranked & scored.We assess every company in your niche and rank your top picks — with an explainable score on each one (+3 just raised, +2 actively hiring, +1 email ready). No black box.

Improved

Scores now read like the strong picks they are.Recalibrated so a genuinely hot account (just raised, actively hiring) reads high — because every account we surface already earned its place.

Improved

Company size & funding stage are honored exactly.A "sub-50-person, pre-seed to Series B" search no longer returns large public companies. You get the stage and size you asked for.

Improved

Faster results.Repeat searches of a niche now load instantly from our owned data.
