Gro v2 is an AI-powered sales platform that adds social signal monitoring to its existing prospecting engine. The key new feature in v2 is Content Search — it scans LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and other platforms in real-time for posts that indicate buying intent, then automatically triggers workflows: alerts, connection requests, comment drafts, and email sequences, all from one interface. Underneath that is a database of over 1 billion contact records with AI-driven propensity scoring that ranks accounts by likelihood to convert. The system coordinates multi-channel outreach (email + LinkedIn + others) and tries to collapse what used to be a stack of five or six point solutions — Apollo, Clay, Phantombuster, etc. — into one system. Gro v2 targets growth-focused B2B teams who currently have to stitch together multiple tools for their outreach stack. It offers a free tier, though the full intent-monitoring and automation features are presumably gated behind paid plans.

YC-backed agentic spreadsheet finds your best leads while you sleep

Orange Slice is a two-person YC startup building what its founders call "Claude Code for GTM" — an agentic sales enrichment spreadsheet that bundles lead generation, data enrichment, and workflow automation into a single conversational interface. Agents scrape custom data sources to surface high-intent prospects, and sales reps can approve, enrich, and route leads without ever leaving the chat. At $20/month for the starter plan, it dramatically undercuts enterprise sales intelligence incumbents like ZoomInfo or Apollo. The product's strength is its automation depth. Rather than static databases of contacts, Orange Slice builds enrichment pipelines that pull live signals — job changes, funding announcements, product launches, hiring patterns — and surfaces prospects who are demonstrably in-market. The agentic architecture means the system learns which signals predict conversion for your specific ICP and prioritizes accordingly. Founded by Vihaar Nandigala (who sold a company at 19 and joined J.P. Morgan) and Kishan Sripada (who bootstrapped FORMI), Orange Slice raised a $5.3M seed round from YC and is now getting its first major public exposure via a strong Product Hunt launch today at #2.
Reviewer scorecard
“Social signal monitoring that auto-triggers structured outreach is a real workflow upgrade. If the signal quality is high — not just keyword matching — this replaces three separate tools in the stack immediately.”
“Live signal-based enrichment versus static databases is the right architecture — stale contact data is the bane of every outbound motion I've seen. The agentic spreadsheet interface is genuinely novel. At $20/mo it's essentially free to test, which removes all the friction from trying it.”
“The '1B+ contact database' claim is table stakes in 2026, and every Sales AI promises to unify the stack. The real question is whether the intent signals are actually predictive or just keyword noise. No independent validation here.”
“Two employees, $5.3M raised, and a product that scrapes data at scale is a regulatory timeline waiting to happen — GDPR, CCPA, and LinkedIn's ToS are landmines. 'AI finds leads while you sleep' is also a promise every sales tool has made for a decade. Show me the actual conversion lift data from real customers, not a Product Hunt launch day.”
“Real-time social intent layered on top of structured outreach automation is the logical next step for B2B AI. The companies that nail signal fidelity will eat the legacy CRM market.”
“The spreadsheet as the universal interface for agentic work is a compelling bet — it's the one tool every business user already knows. Orange Slice is proving that you can wrap complex AI pipelines in a familiar container and get adoption. The 'Claude Code for GTM' framing is exactly right — agentic tools for every business function.”
“Auto-triggering comments and connection requests from detected 'intent' is the kind of feature that makes LinkedIn even more of a spam hellscape. I'd use this sparingly unless the personalization is genuinely thoughtful.”
“For solo creators and freelancers doing their own business development, this fills a real gap. Getting live intent signals about who's actively looking for your services — without paying $500/mo for an enterprise platform — is genuinely useful. The conversational interface lowers the barrier to actually using it consistently.”
