    How we ran it

    We sourced a large volume of startup data from Crunchbase and further qualified each company using Clay. This involved analyzing company websites, founders’ LinkedIn profiles, and relevant public news sources. We also used GPT to assess each startup’s alignment with the Intelak program. This approach enabled us to build a highly qualified list of prospects for targeted outreach

    Growth Rhino proved to be a reliable and results-driven partner. We needed to scout startups for our program on a tight timeline, with just four weeks to build a candidate pipeline. Their team moved quickly, delivering an effective strategy and producing strong results under pressure
