AnswerGrid recently launched!
"Answers at scale"
TL;DR - AnswerGrid is an AI-powered web research tool realised as a spreadsheet. For their first research use case, they're helping startups with high-quality sales qualification.
Founded by Bolu Ben-Adeola & Noah Ohrner, they’re helping founders discover the 30 most relevant leads worth the investment of manual outbound every day.
Problem
B2B founders find that the most effective lead qualification goes beyond industry category filters and instead involves evaluating a company against many loose heuristics. For example, one of their early customers qualifies leads with questions like, "Do they offer subscription or usage-based pricing?".
Founders have been forced to choose between this sort of thoughtful qualification research and increasing the reach of their high-quality outbound. Until now :)
Solution
AnswerGrid helps founders run their lead qualification research at scale.
However, they do not want to scale AI spam :)
Instead, they are helping teams codify and deploy the research to discover leads that justify investing in human-written outreach.
Why they’re working on web research
Most web research workflows—from a research analyst going deep into a new sector to a content creator in the market to buy new recording gear—start as questions in browser tabs, then move on to become answers in the cells of a spreadsheet, paragraphs in a document, or bullet points on a slide deck.
The team is now close to having these research deliverables write themselves. They have the intelligence (thanks to LLMs) but lack the interfaces and infrastructure to do it well (great).
They founded AnswerGrid to build these interfaces and infrastructure.
Why start with lead qualification?
Because the research outcome is immediately actionable—"Who should I sell to today?"—and the feedback cycles are short—"Was that lead relevant?".
What’s next?
They want to help more people avoid choosing between scale and quality in their web research workflows.

Footnote
[1] Why 30 leads daily? They’ve found that 30 is about the number of daily personalised messages you can write before starting to sound like an LLM. There are other practical bottlenecks, such as LinkedIn connection limits.
