Paste one prompt into Claude with LeadOcean connected and get a sized list of ecommerce founders 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 founders at ecommerce brands worldwide.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for industry and pick the online retail
and marketplace values.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with title Founder and Co-Founder
and those industries.
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 |
|---|---|
| title | Founder, Co-Founder |
| industry | Online and Mail Order Retail, Internet Marketplace Platforms |
Enum values are exact strings, which is why step 1 looks them up. LeadOcean has no single "ecommerce" industry, so the prompt uses these two. The title filter matches keywords in the job title, so "Founder" also catches "Founder and CEO".
How many match
1,995 mailable people matched on 2 October 2026. Filters: title Founder or Co-Founder, industry Online and Mail Order Retail or Internet Marketplace Platforms, no country filter.
Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the count_leads default. The count is free. 1,065 of the 1,995 sit at companies with 1-10 staff, so most are small shops. Many founders run shops filed under a Retail industry label, so the real market is wider than this list.
What you get back
Search rows carry the fields below. These are placeholder values, not real records.
| Title | Company size | Industry | Country |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founder | 1-10 | Online and Mail Order Retail | US |
| Co-Founder and CEO | 11-50 | Online and Mail Order Retail | GB |
| Founder | 51-200 | Internet Marketplace Platforms | DE |
Variations
- Swap the title line for "seniority founder". It is wider (3,019 mailable people on 2 October 2026), because the founder band also returns owners.
- Add "employeeRange 11-50 and 51-200" to skip solo operators.
- Add "country US" to keep the list to one market.
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.
