A sales prospecting platform that helps teams source and enrich leads without a dedicated GTM engineer.
45+ companies using the platform
“The software is only bringing in about $500 of that every month.” Services brought early cash while the SaaS matured; the distinction matters when judging repeatability.

Tables is an early sales workflow product built by Jens and two technical cofounders after they stopped work on a previous startup. It helps companies source and enrich leads while making the workflow intuitive enough for salespeople to use without a full-time GTM engineer. The founder reports more than 45 companies using the platform and says the team reached nearly $5,000 in monthly revenue during its first month of growth. He separately estimates that software subscriptions account for about $500 per month, with the balance from consulting clients. The early traction therefore validates demand for the founders’ expertise and offer, but does not yet prove the product has a repeatable subscription engine. Jens handled demos, onboarding, customer messages, and personalized Loom walkthroughs while the two technical cofounders focused on product development. A quick launch also introduced payment bugs, which delayed some customers from paying. The team planned a major database investment intended to improve lead data quality.
For a lead sourcing product aimed at sales teams, start with one narrow buyer group and make the first conversation about its current prospecting workflow. Jens already had inbound leads and ran demos; he also onboarded users directly and sent personalized Loom walkthroughs when features changed or bugs were fixed.

Data credibility: Jens reports nearly $5,000 in monthly revenue during the first month of growth, combining consulting with software; he estimates software contributes about $500 monthly. He also reports more than 45 companies using the platform. These are founder statements in a building-in-public video, with no independent revenue or customer verification.
Tables monetized through a combination of software subscriptions and consulting around go-to-market strategy. Jens said the combined monthly revenue was nearly $5,000 in the first month of growth, while the software itself contributed about $500 per month.
The early loop was built around hands-on learning rather than a large feature roadmap. Jens says inbound leads were arriving, and he used personal walkthroughs after feature releases or bug fixes to create a more attentive experience and gather better feedback.
An early B2B data product can feel stalled when customer conversations produce requests but little repeat usage. Tables’ founder describes continuing onboarding and sales work during a period when the two technical cofounders were occupied with exams and could not ship new features.
