What is Jesse?
Jesse is an AI-powered lead discovery tool that crawls the live internet in real-time to surface fresh B2B sales leads who are ready to buy right now. Unlike traditional tools like Apollo or ZoomInfo that rely on stale static databases, Jesse searches permit filings, conference pages, LinkedIn posts, news articles, job boards, complaint boards, app-marketplace reviews, regulatory filings, and government grant awards to find contextual buying signals. The tool offers Company Search to find target companies from the live web, People Search to identify decision-makers at every account, Enrichment with 50+ data points per lead including verified emails and LinkedIn profiles, and Lookalikes to find more accounts like your best customers.

Frequently asked questions about Jesse
How does Jesse find leads that traditional tools can't?
Jesse crawls the live internet in real-time — permit filings, conference pages, LinkedIn posts, news articles, job boards, and hundreds of other public sources. Unlike Apollo or ZoomInfo which store stale middleware data, Jesse finds leads who are actively in-market right now based on contextual signals. That's why Jesse surfaces buyers that no static database can, including pre-construction facilities from permit filings and conference attendees from speaker lists.
What does the free plan include?
The free plan includes 50 new company searches daily and 50 enrichments (email and LinkedIn profile). You get full access to AI-powered ICP generation, saved lists, and CSV export. No credit card required — just describe your ideal customer and Jesse goes to work.
How do I find contacts at companies I search for?
After a search completes, click 'Find Contacts' and pick the roles you care about — VP of Sales, Head of Marketing, CTO, etc. Jesse uses AI to suggest the best roles based on your ICP. For smaller companies where senior titles don't exist, it automatically finds founders and leadership instead.
How accurate are Jesse's email addresses?
Jesse uses multi-step verification including syntax checks, domain validation, and real-time SMTP verification. Our average email deliverability rate is above 95%. Every lead is checked before it reaches your inbox so you never waste time on bounced emails.
Does Jesse integrate with CRM systems?
CRM integrations are on the way! We're currently building native integrations with Zapier, HubSpot, and Salesforce. For now, you can easily export your leads as a CSV from any saved list.
How is Jesse different from Apollo and ZoomInfo?
Apollo and ZoomInfo rely on static, middleware databases — data that's often stale by the time you use it. Jesse crawls the live internet in real-time to find leads who are actually in-market today. It discovers prospects from live signals like construction permits, conference attendance, funding announcements, and hiring activity — not yesterday's data.
Can I cancel my paid plan?
Yes, absolutely. There are no contracts or commitments. You can cancel your Pro plan at any time from your dashboard and you won't be charged again.
What buying signals does Jesse track?
Jesse tracks real-world signals including DNS/subdomain churn, app-marketplace reviews, complaint boards, regulatory & licensing filings, government grant & contract awards, construction permits, conference attendance, funding announcements, and hiring activity on job boards.
How many companies use Jesse?
200+ sales teams use Jesse, and over 2,500 businesses grow their pipeline on auto-pilot with the tool.
What decision-maker roles can Jesse find?
Jesse can find VP of Sales, Head of Marketing, CTO, VP Marketing, Founder & CEO, Co-Founder, Head of Sales, VP RevOps, Head of Growth, VP Demand Gen, and Director-level roles. Jesse's AI suggests the best roles for your ICP and automatically finds founders for smaller companies where senior titles don't exist.
