Private AI Dealflow Engine

I need a developer to build me a private, self-hosted AI research engine to find and track founders who are actively raising Pre-Seed rounds.I can do this myself but want it done fast by someone who’s done it before. I also need guidance + handover so I can run it myself.Phase 1: UK FocusWhat it does: Scans the web 1-2x per week for signals that UK founders are raising pre-seed.
Sources: LinkedIn, X/Twitter, TechCrunch, Sifted, UKTN, company blogs, Seedrs, YC, AngelList.Filters: Location: UK only to startStage: Pre-Seed only. Exclude Seed, Series A+Sectors: All sectorsData to Scrape & Output in Dashboard:
Founder Name | Company Name | 1-line description | Sector | UK City | Amount Raising | Proof Link/URL | LinkedIn URL | Company Website URL | Founder EmailURL: Must capture the source URL where you found the "raising" signalEmail: Must attempt to enrich and find founder work email using Hunter, Apollo, Dropcontact, or company websiteKey Requirement - Self Hosted:
Must be hosted on my own server/machine or private URL.
Must have user-based login/permissions so only I can access.
I need to log in, hit "Run Scan", and export to CSV myself without relying on you.Phase 2: Scale LaterExpand to US, EU, and other countries with a simple config change. Code needs to be modular.Tech Guidance NeededRecommend best stack. Open to: Python + Streamlit/Django for dashboard, Perplexity API, Apify, Playwright, GPT-4/Claude API for signal detection.
Must handle anti-scraping, deduplication, and rate limits.Deliverables:Fully working self-hosted app with user loginClean, commented code + setup documentation2x 1-hour handover calls to teach me how to run, edit filters, add countries, and manage email enrichment2 weeks bug support after deliveryBudget: Open to fixed price proposals. Please include timeline.Please start your proposal with "SCRAPEEMAIL" and tell me what stack you recommend + 1 similar tool you’ve built.2 extra screening questions to send applicants:How will you get founder emails at scale without violating ToS? Which enrichment APIs do you recommend?How will you prevent duplicates so I don't see the same founder 2 weeks in a row?This should attract devs who’ve actually built scrapers + enrichment before, not just dashboard people.Want me to also draft the "acceptance criteria" checklist you can use to test their delivery before you pay?
