Raycaster

Research agent for scientific sales

Raycaster helps companies sell complex technical products by surfacing hidden insights about their prospects. Our customers use us to automatically uncover everything from lab equipment specifications to API performance metrics - research that traditionally took weeks of manual digging. What's exciting is how these insights naturally spread. Teams start with sales, then realize their product and strategy teams need this deep customer understanding too. We're building the intelligence layer that helps technical teams make better decisions.

Company Launches

Hey YC community! We're Levi and Anthony, building Raycaster to give enterprise sales teams an unfair advantage through deep research.

tl;dr

While others send "Congrats on Series B!" emails, we find the golden nuggets that actually close deals. Teaser

Try us: First 5 people to email founders@raycaster.ai get free intel on 5 dream accounts. Book demo.

The Problem: Generic Data Doesn't Close Deals

Standard tools show you: "Company X just announced Series B. Someone visited your website."

We tell you: "Company X uses Amplitude for their experimentation (verified via API network calls). CTO discussed product velocity bottlenecks on a recent podcast. New Data Science Director is championing feature flags. Perfect timing for your experimentation platform."

Enterprise sellers waste 20+ hours/week hunting for such insights manually because:

  1. Real, differentiated intel is buried in technical docs, scientific papers, and conference talks

  2. Going in unprepared = instant credibility loss

  3. Generic data doesn't help land $100K+ deals

Our Solution: Your Elite Sales Intelligence Team

How we do it:

  • Deep Company Intelligence
    • Hidden tech stack details (e.g., we found Everlane uses Algolia through checking network calls)
    • Strategic insights from obscure sources (e.g., lead scientist’s joint publication sponsored by the parent company)

  • Real People Insights
    • Found C-Suite's AI FOMO through podcast → Led to CEO meeting
    • Built custom account plans based on different roles and company priorities, not generic spray and pray

  • Actionable Battle Cards
    • Enabled sellers at a public PaaS company with 60+ products to craft perfect pitches
    • Craft multi-channel approaches beyond LinkedIn/email (e.g., thoughtful gifts, personalized video)

The Team

Anthony (CTO)

  • AI/ML at Meta & Apple, designer at heart through Snap

Levi (CEO)

  • Built LLM & developed GTM expertise at Uber, Intuit and a Series A startup (acquired by Zoom)
