“I didn't start GeniusLead as a startup — I built it because I needed it myself.”
My Story
As a recruiter and sales professional in the tech and engineering space, I'm constantly looking for tools that match my needs. Fast, precise, affordable — and most importantly: tailored to the DACH market.
The problem? Most tools out there are either way too expensive, deliver poor data for the German-speaking market, or both. Dealfront costs €320 per month. Apollo.io doesn't know what an Impressum is. So I built GeniusLead — first and foremost for myself.
Now I want to share what I've built with you.
Why so affordable?
GeniusLead isn't a corporation with 200 employees and investors demanding ROI. The entire project is handled solo by me — from development to infrastructure to support. This allows me to keep costs at an absolute minimum and create maximum value for everyone.
From $0.05 per lead. No subscription. No hidden costs.
