Paste one prompt into Claude with LeadOcean connected and size your list of new-company founders before you spend a single record. Connect the server at https://api.leadocean.io/mcp first. Setup is on the MCP page. Any MCP client works.
The prompt
Find founders at companies founded since 2024.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for seniority and confirm founder.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with minFounded 2024 and seniority founder.
3. Tell me the count and the filters you used.
4. Do not call leadocean_search_leads until I say go.What it resolves to
| Filter | Value |
|---|---|
| minFounded | 2024 |
| seniority | founder |
minFounded is a year, so 2024 means founded in 2024 or later. A company with no founding year on file is never returned. Enum values are exact strings, which is why step 1 looks up founder first.
How many match
29,173 mailable people matched on 2 October 2026. Filters: minFounded 2024, seniority founder.
Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the count_leads default. The count is free. It counts founders, not companies, so a company with two founders counts twice, and it is wider than any list you narrow by country or industry. The facets show 24,722 of the 29,173 at companies with 1-10 staff and 13,305 in the US.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founder | 1-10 | Software Development | US |
| Co-Founder and CEO | 11-50 | Financial Services | GB |
| Founder | 1-10 | Biotechnology | IN |
Variations
- Add "in country US and employeeRange 11-50" to reach new companies that have already hired a team.
- Swap the second line for "minFounded 2025" to see only the newest companies.
- Add "industry Software Development" (look it up with leadocean_list_enum_values first) and count again.
Records it spends
The count and enum lookups are free. leadocean_search_leads costs 1 record per person returned, so a limit of 25 costs 25 records. Free gives you 1,000 records one-off with no card. Pro is $499 a month. See pricing.
