Raycaster - Private Investigator for High-Stakes Deals

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

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