Custom lead generation software development in Austin
Austin sells software to software companies, and the buying signals sit in permits, filings and hiring pages nobody automates.
Austin build sheet
Work is remote and the records are public, so where your office sits does not change the build — but which counties publish what absolutely does.
We write custom lead-generation software for Austin companies. Scrapers, enrichment pipelines, deduplication, scheduled runs, and delivery into whatever CRM you already use. Austin has two economies that both leave public traces: a technology sector that publishes constantly, and a construction and hospitality sector that files permits, licenses and tax registrations. Both are scrapeable. Neither is well covered by the data vendors, because national providers do not go deep on Travis and Williamson County records.
Teams here usually come to us after outgrowing a list subscription. The data was stale, the filters were coarse, and the same records were sold to competitors. A custom build fixes the underlying problem: you define the trigger, we build the collector, and the output is yours alone. We handle the boring parts too, meaning retries, rate limits, schema drift, verification and change detection. Builds start at $1,500 and you keep the source code.
Public sources in Texas
- Texas Secretary of State entity filings
- City of Austin building permits and open-data portal
- Texas Comptroller tax permit registrations
- TDLR and state contractor licensing records
Coverage is uneven by county and agency. Some publish daily with contact details attached; some publish an address and nothing else. Which of these actually carry your market is the first thing we map — before any code is written or any invoice is sent.
Austin industries we build for
SaaS and technology
Austin software firms sell to other software firms and rely on the same enrichment vendors as everyone else. Custom crawlers over public entity registrations, job postings and technology footprints build a target list nobody else has, scored on signals you choose rather than a vendor's generic firmographic buckets.
Residential and commercial construction
Builders, subs and suppliers still hear about projects from word of mouth. City permit feeds publish applications with valuation, scope and contractor. A pipeline that reads those daily, resolves the owner through county appraisal data, and flags projects at your trade's stage puts a rep on site before framing.
Hospitality, bars and restaurants
Suppliers and service vendors find new venues after they open, which is after purchasing decisions are made. TABC license applications, Texas Comptroller mixed-beverage and hotel-occupancy-tax permits, and health inspection rolls all fire earlier. Software that watches those and dedupes against your accounts gives you a real pre-opening pipeline.
Professional services and accounting
Firms serving startups want entities at formation, not at year three. Texas Secretary of State filings and Comptroller franchise-tax registrations carry formation dates and officers. Joining them and filtering by registered address quality separates operating companies from registered-agent noise, which is most of the volume in a raw pull.
Staffing and recruiting
Recruiters compete on speed and work from job boards everyone else refreshes. A crawler that watches company career pages directly, detects new roles the hour they post, and matches the employer to entity and permit records tells you who is expanding before the aggregators index the listing.
Three builds that fit this market
Concrete examples, not a menu. Every real build is scoped to one company's sources and sales motion.
Travis County permit to owner construction feed
Reads City of Austin and surrounding jurisdiction permit data daily, classifies each record by trade and phase, and resolves the parcel owner through county appraisal records. Filters to the valuation range and work types you sell into. Delivers a deduplicated daily list with owner, contractor, address and scope, pushed straight into your CRM through its API.
Startup formation and expansion signal engine
Combines Texas Secretary of State entity filings with company career-page crawls and website technology detection. Scores each company on formation recency, hiring velocity and stack fit, then suppresses anything already in your pipeline. Sales gets a ranked weekly queue with evidence links, so a rep can see exactly why a company surfaced before dialing.
Pre-opening venue tracker for hospitality suppliers
Monitors TABC license applications, Texas Comptroller permit registrations and county health inspection scheduling for venues that have filed but not opened. Verifies the address, appends the operating entity and its officers, and alerts you at the application stage. The client gets a standing pipeline of venues still choosing equipment, POS and suppliers.

Can you scrape job postings and company websites legally?
We build against publicly accessible pages, respect robots directives and rate limits, and avoid anything behind a login or paywall. That covers most career pages and company sites. We document what each collector touches so your legal team can review it. If a source's terms rule it out, we say so during scoping and route around it rather than building something you cannot defend.
We already pay for a data vendor. Why build our own?
Vendors sell the same records to your competitors, refresh on their schedule, and cannot cover Travis County permits or Comptroller registrations at any depth. A custom build targets the signals your sales motion actually runs on, updates as often as the source does, and belongs to you. Many clients keep a vendor for firmographics and use our pipeline for timing.
Will the data land in HubSpot or Salesforce automatically?
Yes. We write directly to the CRM API, map fields to your existing schema, and set deduplication rules so a repeat record updates rather than creating a second contact. We can also drop to a database, a Google Sheet, S3 or a webhook. Delivery is part of the build, not an add-on, and we test it against your sandbox first.
