Stop spending hours on list building. Strides AI monitors hiring signals, funding rounds, intent data, and 44 more signal types to deliver a fresh list of qualified prospects every morning.
Signal-Qualified, Not Database-Qualified.
The difference between a name on a list and a prospect who's ready to buy right now.
Hiring Signals
Know the moment a company posts for VP Sales, Head of RevOps, or Enterprise AE. Hiring signals are the clearest indicator of budget and urgency.
Funding Events
Series A, B, C, seed rounds, PE acquisitions — companies that just raised are ready to invest in solutions. Strides surfaces them the same day they announce.
Intent Signals
Pricing page visits, G2 reviews, LinkedIn keyword patterns — Strides detects intent signals from your own product and across the web.
Competitive Signals
Contract renewals, competitor reviews, stack switch signals — the moments when a prospect is evaluating alternatives and most likely to say yes to you.
News & Press
New executive hires, product launches, partnership announcements — company events that create a natural reason to reach out.
Product Intent
If you have Strides Build, behavioral signals from your own product feed directly into the Agent — users who are expanding, at churn risk, or ready to upgrade.
Why Manual Prospecting Is Your Team's Most Expensive Time Sink
The average B2B sales rep spends 20–30% of their time on prospecting activities — list building, researching companies, finding the right contact, verifying emails, and scoring leads for ICP fit. At an average AE fully-loaded cost of $150k/year, that's $30–45k per rep per year spent on tasks that have nothing to do with selling.
The deeper problem with manual prospecting is that it produces static lists at a single point in time. You research 200 companies today, export a CSV, and start reaching out over the next 6 weeks. By week three, the funding round has closed, the key contact has changed roles, and the urgency that made them a great prospect no longer exists. Static lists decay fast.
Signal-based prospecting works differently. Instead of building a list and reaching out, you monitor the conditions that make a company a great prospect in real time — and surface them the moment those conditions are met. A company that just raised a Series B is a different prospect than the same company 6 months later. A VP of Sales who just started 60 days ago is a different prospect than one who's been in seat for 3 years. Timing is the variable that separates closed deals from cold contacts.
Strides monitors 47 distinct signal types continuously — hiring activity, funding events, competitive movements, intent signals, news and press, and product usage patterns. When a company matches your ICP and crosses a signal threshold, it's immediately added to your outreach queue with a context note on exactly why now is the right time. Your reps get warm leads with built-in conversation starters, not a cold list with company names.
The operational outcome is straightforward: your team stops doing research and starts having conversations. A sales rep who gets 200 signal-qualified leads delivered every morning, with the relevant context already attached, can spend their day closing instead of searching.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a "signal-qualified" prospect different from a regular lead?
A signal-qualified prospect has shown a behavior or experienced an event that indicates they're likely to buy right now — a funding round, a hiring spike in sales, a competitor contract renewal. This context makes them inherently more relevant than a name from a static database.
Do I still need to buy a lead list?
No. Strides builds your list continuously from live sources. You describe your ICP once, and the system delivers qualified prospects daily. You can supplement with existing lists if you have them, but you'll never need to buy another database export.
How accurate is the contact data?
Strides verifies emails and phone numbers before adding contacts to outreach. Bounce rates are typically under 3%. Contact data is cross-referenced across multiple sources to ensure accuracy.
Can I exclude certain companies or contacts?
Yes. You can set suppression lists — existing customers, competitors, or specific industries — and Strides will exclude them automatically. You can also set account-level rules like "only contact companies with 50–500 employees."
How does Strides find the right contact at each company?
Based on your ICP definition, Strides identifies the right decision-maker title at each account — VP of Sales, Head of Engineering, CEO — and finds verified contact information for that person specifically. It doesn't just find the company; it finds the right person to talk to.
Can I see why a prospect was added to my pipeline?
Yes. Every prospect in your Strides pipeline includes a signal note explaining exactly why they were surfaced — "Series B announced 3 days ago," "Posted 4 VP of Sales jobs in the last 30 days," "Visited your pricing page twice this week." Your reps always know why they're reaching out.
What's the typical volume of prospects delivered per day?
It depends on your ICP size. Most customers receive 50–300 qualified prospects per day. You can set daily volume caps to manage outreach pace and ensure personalization quality stays high.
