👋 Hey Sumo-lings!

I’m Eric, Founder & CEO of Laxis, and I’m excited to introduce you to what we’ve been building: a smarter, faster way to find high-quality B2B prospects without all the manual work.

Let’s dive in. 😊

🚀 Why we built Laxis AI Prospect Research

After talking to thousands of users, one thing became clear: finding high-quality leads is one of the hardest, most time-consuming parts of growing a business.

People told us they spent hours searching the web, jumping between tools, fighting outdated data, and still couldn’t find enough accurate contacts.

So we built Laxis AI Prospect Research—an AI-powered platform that gives you:

✨ 350 million verified B2B contacts

✨ Deep company insights (revenue, team size, tech stack, industry, and more)

✨ An AI research agent that scans the entire internet in real time

Our goal? Make prospecting something you can do in minutes—not hours.

💡 What makes Laxis different

Most prospecting tools only give you a database. Laxis gives you both a massive verified database and a real-time AI research agent.

That means your data is fresher, deeper, and more actionable. Instead of hunting for information across dozens of websites, Laxis brings everything together for you:

📧Verified emails & decision-maker contacts

🏢Company revenue & headcount

🧩Tech stack info

📣Public signals & recent updates

📝AI-generated summaries for quick outreach It’s like having a dedicated research assistant—without the cost. 😉

🧑‍💼 Who uses Laxis?

We’re seeing amazing results from:

💼Sales teams who need to fill pipeline faster

🏢Agencies researching potential clients

🧑‍💻Freelancers/consultants finding ideal-fit customers

🚀Founders & small businesses doing outbound for the first time

🎯Recruiters sourcing candidates and company intel If you need to find prospects, Laxis saves you a ton of time.

🙏 Thank You, Sumo-lings

This community played a huge role in our journey the first time around.

We’re excited to be back—and even more excited to help you grow your business with faster, smarter prospecting.

Let’s build something amazing together. 🚀

What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?

I spent eight years as a software engineer building software products, then became a venture investor backing software companies. Over time, I noticed a consistent problem across my portfolio: sales teams were struggling. Nearly 40% couldn’t hit quota because they spent too much time researching prospects, doing cold outreach, taking notes, and updating CRMs—instead of actually selling. That’s when I realized AI could automate these manual, repetitive tasks and unlock real productivity. That insight is what led to building Laxis.

What 3rd party tools is your product critically dependent on?

OpenAI GPT, Google Cloud

Where is your customer data stored?

Google Cloud, USA

How many customers do you have today?

80,000

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

That’s when I realized AI could automate these manual, repetitive tasks and unlock real productivity. That insight is what led to building Laxis.

What problem is your product solving and how?

The idea for Laxis came from watching sales teams burn countless hours on work that shouldn’t require human effort—researching prospects, writing outreach, taking notes, and updating CRMs. These tasks were draining productivity and hurting performance, and it was the same story across almost every company I worked with or invested in. I realized AI could eliminate this busywork and let people focus on real selling and real relationships. I’m passionate about Laxis because it gives teams their time back—and helps them do their best work without the grind.
