Telescope
Mark's hot take
“A tool where you describe your ICP and it matches you to companies AND the people in those companies at the same time. You then simply Add of Reject profiles (like Tinder) to build your lists. Simplify your list building process by not having to think or be limited by search filters. When I tested it, the first result it gave was my actual client which I used to build the ICP. Pretty awesome!”
