Orange Slice

Orange Slice sells an agentic go-to-market platform structured as a spreadsheet in which each column is an AI agent driven by a natural-language prompt. Users describe an ideal customer profile in plain English; the system searches the web, checks candidate companies against multiple criteria, and returns a qualified list that can be exported. Additional columns can be added to enrich each row — annual revenue, executive names, contact emails and phone numbers, firmographics, LinkedIn profiles, CRM systems in use — with agents running in parallel and executing in dependency order.

Beyond research, the product supports "action" columns that write data outward: pushing leads into a CRM such as Salesforce, enrolling contacts in outbound sequences, and sending personalized intro emails, each triggered per row. Documented use cases include lead prospecting from conferences, VC portfolios, funding news and local business data; job and hiring-signal research; competitive intelligence monitoring of competitor pricing, launches and funding with change alerts; social media research across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube; and e-commerce research across Shopify, Etsy, eBay and Amazon. The platform integrates with Slack, where users can @mention the app to run workflows, look up contacts, enrich leads and approve credit-consuming actions, and supports MCP tooling (for example Stripe and Supabase MCPs to find lookalike companies from existing customers).

According to its Y Combinator profile, the underlying spreadsheet columns are TypeScript generated by AI from chat instructions, backed by a fully typed SDK with more than 100 built-in enrichments covering LinkedIn, contact information, company data, web scraping and AI research. Launch materials emphasize discovery of buying signals from niche data sources — court dockets for legal tech, building permits for proptech, freight brokerage listings for logistics — to prioritize accounts described as likely in-market rather than merely a possible fit.

Founding story

Cofounders Vihaar Nandigala (CEO) and Kishan Sripada (CTO), both 23 at the time of the seed announcement, met sophomore year on a Bollywood dance team at the University of Michigan. Nandigala had founded ghost-kitchen/restaurant-tech company KitchenKonnect and sold it at 19, and was a summer analyst at JPMorgan; Sripada founded choreography software company Formi and interned as a software engineer at Ramp, where a growth experiment convinced him that growth comes from reaching the right customers at the right time rather than better messaging. The pair began building the company and applied to Y Combinator as college seniors; YC advised them to finish school and reapply, and they were accepted into the Summer 2025 batch.

Business model

Software subscription sold to sales and revenue teams, with a free entry tier ("Get started - it's free") and a book-a-demo path for larger buyers. Usage of enrichment actions is metered in credits, as shown by in-product approval prompts estimating credit consumption per task.

Subscriptions sold to customers including sales engineers; agent actions consume credits within the product.

Traction

The company's website states it is trusted by more than 5,000 sales and RevOps teams and that it raised $5.3M in seed funding. Y Combinator lists the company as active with a team size of 2 and a Founding Engineer opening. Reported early customers include Y Combinator startups Novoflow and Pirros. Product blog notes insights drawn from thousands of Orange Slice prompts.

Latest developments

Following the $5.3 million seed round co-led by 1984 Ventures and Moxxie Ventures with angel participation from Paul Graham, the company said proceeds would fund engineering hiring, and it lists a Founding Engineer opening. Recent product and content updates include Slack-based workflow execution, MCP integrations (Stripe, Supabase) for lookalike prospecting, enrichment of stale CRM deals for re-engagement, and blog posts through August 2026 on GTM automation, AI SDR agents and B2B data enrichment tooling.
