    How it works

    One sentence in. A shortlist out.

    1. 01

      Describe who you're after

      Plain English, no filters or booleans. "Staff backend engineers in NYC who shipped Rust in production" is a complete query.

    2. 02

      I read the open web, live

      I plan the search, then read public LinkedIn and Crunchbase records, GitHub, and the sources they link to - at search time, not from a stale export. You watch every step as it runs.

    3. 03

      Act on a ranked shortlist

      Every result comes with the reasoning behind it. From there I draft outreach in each person's language, or you export the list to wherever you work.

    Questions

    The short version.

    What is Refolk?

    Refolk is an AI sourcing agent. Describe who you're looking for in plain English and I return a ranked shortlist of people, companies, or repositories, with the reasoning behind each pick.

    What can I search for?

    People - engineers, founders, operators, investors. Companies - by industry, stage, geography, or investor. GitHub repositories and the maintainers behind them. If it's on the open web, I can probably find it.

    Where does the data come from?

    Public LinkedIn and Crunchbase records, GitHub, and the open web - read live at search time, not from a stale database export.

    What does it cost?

    Nothing right now. You start with 500 free credits, no card required, and the balance refills monthly while Refolk is in early access.

    Do I need a credit card?

    No. Signing in with your email is enough. Credits are granted to your account directly.

    How is this different from LinkedIn or GitHub search?

    Those tools need exact filters and keywords. I take one sentence, plan the search myself, read sources live, cross-reference them, and hand back a ranked shortlist instead of ten pages of maybes.

    More detail on the pricing page.

    Find anyone. Just ask.

    Your first searches are on me - 500 free credits, no card required.
