I’m Daniel, and I’m building Scholtz (https://scholtz.ai) – an AI tool that helps founders and teams find the people who truly care about their product: customers, users, early adopters, partners, investors, and more.

Why I built this: At my previous startup, the worst job I disliked was sifting through endless lead-gen lists and CRM spam. It was always impersonal and artificial – like blind guessing. I wanted something that actually understands what your startup is about and then suggests real and genuine people who may be interested in your product or service.

What it does:

- You add your website – that's it.

- Scholtz scans it and identifies what your business is.

- Next, it finds people who actually care about your product or service – the sort of people who might indeed be interested in what you're producing.

- And finally, it shows you how to contact them directly – no spam, no filler.

Still in beta: It's a one-man project, and I appreciate your input – what's great, what's unclear, what's lacking? Here's the link if you'd like to give it a go: https://scholtz.ai/welcome

I'm providing a trial that allows you to search for up to 10 individuals to try it out. Scholtz is currently focused on LinkedIn profiles in the U.S. tech industry.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

– Daniel

I have tried many of these tools, just tried your one now. It does half ok, it finds a relevant job title, but it's not smart enough to realise that my customers are businesses with large amounts of Google reviews.

This is not an easy challenge to solve, but humans are able to do it. AI is just not there yet or people haven't come up with a smart enough prompt system to really get good results. Or maybe the cost is to high to provide a high quality result.

TY for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. That’s interesting. I don’t think it’s an issue with AI itself, but rather with the data. I’m almost certain—99.999% sure—that if I had provided it with the right datasource, it would have fetched it.

Also, the search is open for editing through memory and context dialogs. So in the future, you’ll be able to write, “I need one with many Google reviews.”

Thank you for sharing. I've tried your tool but it failed with my business: we provide mountain guiding services in the Alps. I've searched for "customers" but it came out with people that have nothing to do with mountaineering or with others IFMGA Mountain Guides (competitors)....maybe too niche?

Thanks for sharing :) So as I wrote "Scholtz is currently focused on LinkedIn profiles in the U.S. tech industry."

I tried, fairly impressed. How do you manage situations where sites may not block your request when trying to profile the provided url?

Hi, thanks for sharing

We have multiple data sources, not just scraping. There are many solutions for this, but they can be expensive. For now, we’re using some infrastructure that we built ourselves, and it’s enough for our small scale.
