Paste one prompt into Claude with LeadOcean connected and size your Series A CFO list before you spend a single record. Connect the server at https://api.leadocean.io/mcp first. Setup is on the MCP page.
The prompt
Find CFOs at Series A startups.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for funding_type and confirm Series A.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with title Chief Financial Officer and CFO,
jobLevel C-Team and employeeRange 11-50 and 51-200.
Leave fundingType out of the count.
3. Tell me the count and the filters you used.
4. Do not call leadocean_search_leads until I say go. When I do, add
fundingType Series A and search with a limit of 25.What it resolves to
| Filter | Value |
|---|---|
| title | Chief Financial Officer, CFO |
| jobLevel | C-Team |
| employeeRange | 11-50, 51-200 |
| fundingType | Series A (search only, not in the count) |
Enum values are exact strings, which is why step 1 looks them up. The count tool does not support fundingType, so the prompt counts without it and applies it at search time.
How many match
99,158 mailable people matched on 2 October 2026. Filters: title Chief Financial Officer or CFO, jobLevel C-Team, employeeRange 11-50 and 51-200.
This count is wider than your list. It covers every small company, not only Series A ones, so the fundingType filter at search time cuts it down. Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the count_leads default. The count is free.
The facets show 45,661 of the 99,158 are in US, the largest country.
What you get back
Search rows carry the fields below, plus name, email status and company domain. These are placeholder values, not real records.
| Title | Company size | Industry | Country |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chief Financial Officer | 51-200 | Software Development | US |
| CFO | 11-50 | Financial Services | GB |
| Chief Financial Officer | 51-200 | Hospitals and Health Care | CA |
Variations
- Add "only people in country US" to build a single-market list.
- Swap the title line for "VP Finance, jobLevel VP" to reach the layer under the CFO.
- Change the funding line to "fundingType Series B" and ask Claude to search with a limit of 25.
