Paste one prompt into Claude with LeadOcean connected and size your list of Series A sales leaders 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 VPs of Sales at Series A startups in the United States.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for funding_type and employee_range
and confirm the exact strings.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with jobLevel VP, jobFunction
Sales & Business Development, country US and employeeRange
11-50 and 51-200. Do not pass fundingType to the count.
3. Tell me the count and the filters you used. Say that adding
fundingType Series A at search time will narrow it further.
4. Do not call leadocean_search_leads until I say go. Then search
with the same filters plus fundingType Series A, limit 25.What it resolves to
| Filter | Value |
|---|---|
| jobLevel | VP |
| jobFunction | Sales & Business Development |
| country | US |
| employeeRange | 11-50, 51-200 |
| fundingType | Series A (search step only) |
Series A is a company filter on the last funding round. The free count does not support it, so the prompt sizes the wider list first and applies fundingType when you say go. Enum values are exact strings, which is why step 1 looks them up.
How many match
35,309 mailable people matched on 2 October 2026. Filters: jobLevel VP, jobFunction Sales & Business Development, country US, employeeRange 11-50 or 51-200, with fundingType left out.
Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the count_leads default. The count is free. It is wider than your Series A list, because it includes every funding stage. Treat it as the ceiling, then let the search step cut it down.
What you get back
Search rows carry the fields below. These are placeholder values, not real records.
| Title | Company size | Industry | Country |
|---|---|---|---|
| VP of Sales | 51-200 | Software Development | US |
| VP, Revenue | 11-50 | Technology; Information and Internet | US |
| Vice President of Sales | 51-200 | Financial Services | US |
Variations
- Add "and minLastFundingYear 2025" at search time to keep only recent rounds.
- Swap fundingType Series A for Seed and change jobLevel VP to C-Team to reach founders who still run sales.
- Change country to GB and ask Claude to count again before searching.
