Chrome extension for LinkedIn lead capture with built-in compliance limits and CRM field mapping for EU freelancers
The call
LinkedIn lead scrapers are a graveyard of ToS bans and GDPR risk. A compliance-first capture tool (manual select, rate limits, consent notes, CRM map) for EU freelancers is differentiated but still platform-risk heavy. WEAK unless positioned as CRM helper not scraper.
Is the demand real?
Outbound freelancers want LinkedIn → CRM. Existing scrapers are aggressive and risky. EU users need GDPR-aware workflows.
