The problem
In 2025, we ran outbound campaigns at our parent company, Konekt (a French B2B CRM startup). Every month we were paying:
- $9 to Evaboot to extract LinkedIn leads to CSV
- $99 to LinkedIn for Sales Navigator (which Evaboot requires to operate)
- $59 to Lemlist or Waalaxy for actually messaging the leads
That's $167 per seat, every month, just to do the most basic B2B outbound: find people on LinkedIn and message them. And we had to maintain four logins, four billing relationships, and four tools that didn't talk to each other.
Worse, Evaboot's "1500 leads" plan actually gave us 750 because they charge 2 credits per enriched lead. Half of what we were paying for, gone before we even started.
What we built
Lead4Linked started as an internal tool at Konekt. We built our own LinkedIn extraction layer that doesn't require Sales Navigator. We made it 1 credit = 1 lead, no funny math. We added 8 different sourcing methods (post commenters, event attendees, signal scraping, group members, profile visitors, post monitors, search results, post reactors) instead of Evaboot's single search-results-only mode.
Then we shipped messaging campaigns from Pro tier. Then an AI Responder on Business tier that handles first-touch replies overnight.
Today Lead4Linked replaces Evaboot, Sales Navigator, Lemlist, and Waalaxy for our internal team. We launched it publicly in early 2026 because other teams were asking for the same thing.

Where we are
Lead4Linked operates from France, on EU infrastructure, under GDPR. Our parent company Konekt handles backend, billing, and infrastructure. Our payments run through Stripe. Our email is through Google Workspace.
We are bootstrapped. We have no investors, no board, and no pressure to pump fake metrics. Every dollar we earn comes from a customer who decided Lead4Linked is worth more than what they were paying before.
What we believe about LinkedIn outbound
- Sales Navigator is a tax, not a product. It exists to extract money from B2B sales teams who can't say no. We removed it from the equation.
- 1 credit = 1 lead. Always. Anything else is theft of attention.
- Outbound is human. Our AI Responder handles first-touch replies, but the messaging strategy, the targeting, and the relationship are yours. We will never automate the human part.
- Public data only. We never scrape private fields, paid LinkedIn data, or anything you couldn't see by visiting a profile yourself.
- Cancel anytime, no card required to start. If we're worth $29/month to you, you'll pay us. If not, you walk away with 100 free leads. Either way, no hard feelings.
