Who's this workflow for? - Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) - Business Development Teams - Growth Hackers - Startup Founders - Marketing Agencies

How it works 1. Scrape Funded Companies: The workflow begins by using Apify to scrape a target list of recently funded companies directly from a Crunchbase search.

2. Enrich with Apollo.io: It takes each company and uses the Apollo.io API to find key decision-makers (like VPs, Directors) and enrich their contact information, including finding their email addresses.

3. Populate Google Sheets: All the gathered lead data—company name, contact name, title, email, LinkedIn URL, etc.—is neatly organized and added to a Google Sheet.

4. AI-Personalized Email Crafting: The workflow sends the lead's information to OpenAI (GPT-4) with a highly specialized prompt, instructing it to write a concise, impactful, and hyper-personalized "first touch" cold email.
