Specter

Specter finds the right companies, surfaces the right contacts, verifies their emails, and scores every lead against your ICP. Hot leads go directly to Striker. Warm leads enter a nurture sequence. Cold leads get archived.

Trigger events Specter watches

Funding rounds — company just raised, has budget, is actively scaling
Executive hires — new VP Sales or CTO signals tool evaluation cycles
Job postings — hiring SDRs, growth engineers, or ops roles signals relevant needs
Tech stack changes — switching from a competitor is the highest-intent signal
News mentions — raised profile, awards, press coverage = receptive to outreach
