For freelancers, small studios and agencies doing their own outreach

Find the studios that need you.
Write like a human.

Describe who you want to work with. LeadForge searches public sources, checks that each company is real, scores the fit with evidence and drafts a personal first email. Nothing is sent until you approve it.

What it is

A research assistant for people who sell their own work.

You tell LeadForge what you do and who you want to work with, in plain words. It turns that into a search profile you can edit, collects public information from the sources you allow, and keeps only real organisations.

Every score comes with a reason.

Each lead shows how many points it earned for audience fit, need signals, freshness, contact quality and more, with the evidence behind it. You decide who is worth an email, and you approve every draft.

Voice actors

Find indie game studios, animation teams and brands that are casting or about to ship something with voice.

Illustrators, composers, sound designers

Look for studios with a new project, a fresh store page or an open call that matches your craft.

Small studios and agencies

Keep a repeatable pipeline: saved search profiles, monitoring, and a clear record of who was contacted.

Sources

One search profile.
The public places where your clients show up.

Pick the sources that fit your market. Each one is a plain connector with limits and robots.txt respected.

  • Steam
  • itch.io
  • Reddit
  • Web search
  • RSS feeds
  • Sitemaps
  • Your own URL lists

Web search works with Brave, Tavily, Exa, SerpAPI, Google CSE or your own SearXNG. Some sources need your own API key.

Built around organisations, not noise.

Most scraped lists are mostly noise: articles, directories and marketplaces. LeadForge is built around organisations, so the result is a short list you can actually work through.

Organisations, not articles

Listicles, directories and marketplaces are filtered out. What remains are studios, teams and brands.

A site and a contact, checked

The website has to load. A business email or contact form has to exist. Missing contact lowers the tier instead of being guessed.

Evidence for every point

The score breaks down per factor, and every claim links back to the page it came from.

From a sentence to a shortlist

Describe the goal. Review the evidence. Approve the draft.

The AI proposes a profile, you edit it, and the pipeline does the legwork. Every step stays visible.

Your goal

I am a voice actor. I want to find indie game studios in Europe working on narrative games that may need English voice work.

Evidence

  • Upcoming narrative game on Steamstore page, updated 6 days ago
  • Team page lists a narrative designerstudio-one.example/team
Draft for approvalExample data

Subject: Voice for your upcoming game

Hi, I saw the store page for your new narrative game and thought a voice test might help the team hear a few lines. If it is not useful, just reply no and I will not write again.

Outreach with a human in the loop

From shortlist to sent, with you in control.

LeadForge drafts a first email for each lead using your own portfolio and tone, in the language that fits the company.

Nothing leaves your mailbox on its own. You approve each draft, and sending respects daily limits and pauses.

Drafts that sound like you

Your service description, portfolio link and signature feed every draft. The evidence found for that company is used to make it specific.

Approval queue

Read, edit, approve or skip. Campaigns run only after you confirm the compliance notice for your sending countries.

Suppression and limits

Unsubscribed and blocked addresses are never contacted again. Daily limits, delays between sends and a research-only mode are built in.

Control

Guard rails you do not have to build yourself.

Cold outreach rules depend on the countries of the sender and the recipient. LeadForge cannot decide for you whether a campaign is lawful, so it makes the safe path the default and puts the responsibility notice in front of you.

Approval before every sendA draft is only sent after a person approves it.
An opt-out line in every emailEach message carries a short way to say no, and replies are respected.

Privacy and control

Your data stays yours.

A workspace is private to its members. You decide which sources and providers are used.

Encrypted keys

AI, search and mail credentials are encrypted before they are stored, and only a masked value is shown back.

Public information only

No bypassing logins, CAPTCHAs or blocks. Pages are fetched with limits and robots.txt is respected.

Isolated workspaces

Every request is checked against workspace membership. Other people's objects look like they do not exist.

Export on demand

Download all of your workspace data as JSON from the settings whenever you want.

Questions people ask

What does LeadForge AI do?

It finds companies that match a profile you describe, checks their website and a business contact, scores the fit with a breakdown and evidence, and drafts a personal first email. You review every draft before it is sent.

Where does the data come from?

From public sources such as Steam, itch.io, Reddit feeds, RSS feeds, sitemaps, web search APIs and URL lists that you provide. It reads public pages and respects robots.txt. It does not log in anywhere or bypass protection.

Does it send emails by itself?

No. Emails are produced as drafts. A campaign only sends drafts that you approved, from your own mailbox or mail provider, within daily limits, and skips addresses on the suppression list.

Do I need my own AI account?

You can choose. Plans with AI included cover the usage up to the plan limits. The Bring your own AI plan lets you connect your own AI provider API key and pay that provider directly. Self-hosted installs can also use local models.

Is cold outreach legal?

It depends on the sender and recipient countries and on the kind of address. LeadForge gives you a research-only mode, an opt-out line, a suppression list and a compliance notice, but you are responsible for the rules that apply to your campaigns.

Who is it for?

People who find their own clients: voice actors, illustrators, composers, small studios and agencies. The first users are voice actors looking for game and animation studios, but the search profile is not tied to one profession.
