LeadScan - Stardance

Ship #1 Changes requested

What I Made
Paste a domain, get back: founder names, founding year, tech stack, emails, hiring signals, revenue estimate, and a personalized cold email you can actually send. Works in 3 seconds. Free, no login.

What Was Challenging
Wikipedia wikitext templates are evil. {{Unbulleted list|a|b|c}} was leaking raw into the UI. Took forever to build a depth-aware parser that actually works. Also: small businesses hide their data (no /pricing page, phone buried in microdata), so I had to scrape sub-pages in parallel.

What I'm Proud Of
The conviction score actually works — high score means "this person will probably respond to cold email" because they have modern tech + they're hiring + they have pricing. The AI outreach is solid too (not template garbage). Most: it works equally well for a dentist clinic and Stripe.

How to Test It
Go to leadscan-web.vercel.app/scan, paste a domain (try stripe.com or your competitor), wait 3 seconds. Click "Ask AI" to fill in missing founder names or revenue. Export to CSV. That's it.

I started with a simple website scraper, but it quickly became clear that it only worked well for tech startups. So I pivoted hard: I added parallel sub-page fetching for contact and about pages, built Wikipedia integration to pull founding data, and spent a lot of time fighting ugly wikitext template parsing bugs. I also expanded industry detection from 5 categories to 20+, which made the scans much more accurate across different kinds of businesses.The UI got a full redesign too, from something vibecoded into something much more editorial, with a dark hero section, Cormorant Garamond serif text, and electric blue accents. The most important addition was the “Ask AI” button: Groq’s llama-3.3-70b now fills in missing founders, revenue, and key products on demand, but only when clicked, so there’s no latency penalty during normal scans. After setting GROQ_API_KEY on Vercel and deploying to production, the project became a full intelligence tool that can generate detailed reports for both Stripe and local businesses. Ship the thing.
