Avina: YC-backed GTM agents that hunt leads while you sleep
The GTM category just keeps respawning. Every year someone promises AI that actually finds customers instead of just blasting emails. Avina, out of YC and launching on Product Hunt today at #5, takes another crack.
The loop is four steps. You describe an ideal customer and buying signals in plain language. Avina pulls leads from LinkedIn, job postings, visitor tracking, and custom AI searches — stuff like "companies that had a data breach in the last six months." It enriches contacts, scores them daily, and runs personalized email plus targeted ads. Results sync to your CRM and Slack. Founders are Vivek Sudarsan and Mike Wang.
What makes this different from the 50 other sales-agent tools is the signal layer. Most of the existing pack is basically mass-personalization dressed up. Avina is pushing the idea that the right lead is defined by behavior in the world — a CFO changing jobs, a company hiring for security after an incident — not by firmographics. Whether they can actually extract those signals at scale is the real test.
If this works, the interesting second-order effect is that outbound becomes about intent discovery rather than outreach volume. The top of funnel stops being about lists.
