The client hunting problem freelancers face.

Freelancers need a reliable pipeline of direct clients to avoid dry spells, but client prospecting quickly turns into an administrative nightmare:

✓Identifying companies actively growing that can pay market-rate fees
✓Finding direct founders and design/engineering/marketing leads
✓Avoiding the race-to-the-bottom bidding on gig marketplaces
✓Remembering who you contacted and when to follow up without messy notes
The manual freelancer struggle:

Search LinkedIn → Open profile → Copy name & company → Paste into Notion/Spreadsheet → Draft custom pitch → Forget to follow up → Start over when gigs end.
