Buying Signal Lead Finder — Funded, Loan & Expanding Companies + AI Score

In 2026, spray-and-pray outreach is dead. What wins is signal-driven selling — reaching a company the moment it shows intent. This actor finds B2B leads by buying signal and gives each an AI lead score + outreach angle, so you act on the hottest, best-timed prospects.

Signals (all from free public data — no key, no block)

• 💰 Funded — companies that just raised money (SEC Form D)
• 🏦 Loan — companies that just took a secured loan (UCC filings)
• 🏗️ Expanding — companies that just pulled a building permit

Each lead gives you

🏢 Company · 📍 location · 🧾 what happened (the signal) · 👤 contacts · 🤖 AI lead score (0-100) · 💬 AI outreach angle · 📅 date

Why it matters

A company that just got funded / took a loan / is expanding has budget and a reason to buy right now. These are the warmest B2B leads — for SaaS, lenders, agencies, recruiters, services. The AI score ranks them so you start with the best.

Input (simple)

{ "signal": "funded", "daysBack": 30 }

Options: state, industry, maxResults, aiScore, aiApiKey (bring your own free Gemini key for AI scoring).

AI scoring — bring any provider's key (or use the built-in)

The AI lead score works out of the box. You can also bring your own key from any major provider — pick the provider and paste your key:

Supported: OpenAI (GPT) · Anthropic Claude · Google Gemini · Groq · DeepSeek · Grok (xAI) · GLM (Zhipu) · OpenRouter · Mistral.

🔒 Is my API key safe?

Yes. Your key is stored as an Apify secret — it is encrypted at rest, never written to logs, never saved in the output dataset, and never visible to anyone (including the actor owner). It is used only to call the provider you chose, then discarded. You can also leave it blank and use the built-in scoring.

Use cases

B2B sales prospecting · timed outreach · lender / MCA lead-gen · agency client-finding · recruiting funded startups · competitor & market intelligence.

Legal

Uses only public government data (SEC, state open-data UCC & permits). No login, paywall, or anti-bot bypass.
