System 01 · Lead Radar
Meets founders before there is a company to meet.
Pre-seed investing is a race to the first conversation. Once a deck exists, so does everyone else's interest.
The radar watches for the earliest clean signal instead: a person quietly flipping their profile to stealth. Every sweep scores the new founders against 100in's investment thesis, with the reasoning written out, and hands the team a short ranked list in Slack. A Monday digest and a live dashboard sit behind it.
Under the hood: n8n orchestrates scheduled sweeps over licensed person-data, Python workers collect and deduplicate, an LLM scores each profile, and Postgres keeps the full history so a person is paid-enriched once, ever. It runs unattended in Docker on European infrastructure, and it flags rather than acts: no automated outreach, a human decides every approach.
