Question 1

What is Origami?

Accepted Answer

Origami is an AI-powered prospecting platform that helps sales teams find leads across local businesses, SMBs, and hard-to-reach verticals that traditional tools miss. Describe your ideal customer in plain English — like "find HVAC company owners in Texas" or "find plumbing contractors opening new locations" — and Origami searches 15+ data sources to deliver verified, enriched results.

Question 2

Can Origami find local business owners like HVAC, plumbing, or roofing companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is one of Origami's strongest use cases. Traditional prospecting tools have poor coverage of home service companies, contractors, and local businesses. Origami combines Google Maps data, licensing databases, job postings, and web scraping to find HVAC companies, plumbing contractors, roofing companies, pest control operators, landscaping businesses, and more — along with verified owner contact info.

Question 3

Why can't I find local businesses in Apollo or ZoomInfo?

Accepted Answer

Apollo and ZoomInfo are built primarily around LinkedIn data and enterprise firmographics, so they miss millions of small businesses, contractors, and local service companies that don't have a LinkedIn presence. Origami is purpose-built to cover these gaps — pulling from Google Maps, state licensing boards, local directories, and real-time web data to find businesses that traditional B2B databases simply don't index.

Question 4

How is Origami different from Apollo, ZoomInfo, or Clay?

Accepted Answer

Three key differences: (1) Coverage — Origami finds local businesses, home service companies, and SMBs that Apollo and ZoomInfo don't have in their databases. (2) Natural language — instead of configuring filters or building multi-step workflows, you describe what you want in plain English and Origami handles the rest. (3) Pricing — flat monthly pricing instead of per-seat, so your whole team can use it.

Question 5

What data sources does Origami use?

Accepted Answer

Origami aggregates 15+ sources including Google Maps local business data, 69M+ LinkedIn company profiles, job postings, tech stack data, Shopify and WooCommerce stores, state licensing databases, funding databases, and real-time email and phone verification. This combination gives Origami strong coverage of both tech companies and non-tech businesses like contractors, restaurants, dental practices, and auto dealerships.

Question 6

How accurate is the contact data?

Accepted Answer

Email accuracy is typically 95%+ because Origami verifies emails in real time and cross-references multiple sources. Phone numbers are verified when available, and company data is cross-checked across sources for accuracy.

Question 7

What kinds of businesses can I prospect?

Accepted Answer

Origami works across any vertical. Common use cases include finding home service contractors (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, pest control, landscaping), restaurant owners, dental practice owners, auto dealership owners, ecommerce brand operators, gym and fitness studio owners, and more. You can search by industry, location, company size, hiring activity, funding, or any combination — just describe what you're looking for.

Question 8

Can I import my own data to find lookalike prospects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Import a CSV of your existing customers and Origami analyzes patterns like industry, size, location, and business model to build an ideal customer profile. It then finds thousands of lookalike companies, scores each on fit, and returns an enriched list with verified contacts.

Question 9

Does Origami include email sequencing?

Accepted Answer

Origami focuses on finding and enriching prospects. You can export results to CSV or push directly to Salesforce and HubSpot, then use your preferred outreach tool for sequences. This keeps prospecting and outreach cleanly separated.

Question 10

How does the credit system work?

Accepted Answer

Credits represent enrichment actions. Finding a company with a verified email costs roughly 5–10 credits; finding a company plus 3 decision-maker contacts with emails and phones costs roughly 20–30 credits. The Starter plan includes 5,500 credits per month — enough for approximately 500–1,000 fully enriched prospects.
