The tagline for show HN sounds really interesting, but going to your site makes it very clear that you don't understand how the lead market actually works. People don't pay for "hours of research", they pay for the contact info of a person who has demonstrated that they are in market and ready to make a purchase decision. It's not clear that the leads you provide are in market - from the sounds of it, you're just creating a list of prospects? That could be interesting, but prospecting is very easy to outsource and there are already several companies (data.com, jigsaw, etc) already have a very robust database of prospects for a lot less than $800 a month. I don't want to rain on your parade, but I think you need to really deeply evaluate your product/market fit.

Thanks for the constructive feedback! Many of our clients have tried lead databases like Data or Jigsaw and haven't found them nearly specific enough, which is why they come to us. There are a few examples in the blog post that are well beyond the scope of Data/Jigsaw (http://blog.mobileworks.com/leadgeni-dot-us-user-acquisition...) -- researching Github, analyzing payment platforms, finding new businesses as they emerge, and more. From your comment it sounds like "lead generation" isn't the way you'd describe these kinds of activities – could you suggest something more accurate?

Here's a more sophisticated use case: suppose a crowdfunding service is trying to construct a list of accredited investors in Los Angeles eligible for solicitation in particular domains of interest via the JOBS act. These lists don't exist in databases today -- generally the research element is the more complex part.
