Lead Piranha

We replaced the campaign with the machine.

We build AI systems for owner-run businesses. We find the work worth handing off, build the system that does it, then train your team to run it or run it for you.

Who you'll work with

I spent years in marketing watching good businesses pay for reports and impressions that never moved the revenue line. So Lead Piranha builds the thing that actually does the work: it answers the inquiry, follows up, and gets the quote out.

When you apply, you're talking to the people who'll actually build your system, and if we don't see anything worth building, we'll say so.

Founder and CEOLinkedIn

Louie has been building automation systems for businesses since 2020, and these days he builds the ones that let an owner stop doing the work of a team they don't have. He studied biology and loves the Amazon, which is where the piranha in Lead Piranha comes from.

Questions about Lead Piranha

Who founded Lead Piranha?
Louie Villaverde founded Lead Piranha in 2021. He's been building automation systems for businesses since 2020.
Where is Lead Piranha based?
We're based in Miami and work remotely with clients across the US, and in person when a build calls for it.
Is Lead Piranha a marketing agency?
We're closer to an operations team than an agency. We build the systems that answer your inquiries, follow up and send quotes, and you own them. Then your team runs them with the training we give them, or we run them for you.
What kinds of businesses does Lead Piranha work with?
Lead Piranha works with small and mid-sized businesses that win customers through inquiries and quotes. Most have a small team and an owner who still answers leads and sends quotes themselves.
