Stars are the earliest public signal of developer traction. WarmStars scans a rising repo and turns the people behind it (the founder, the first contributors, the engineers at name-brand companies who starred early) into named profiles with a way to reach out while it’s still pre-seed.

Rising repos and the developers behind them.
Star velocity moves before a deal memo exists. When a project adds two thousand stars in a week, the question isn’t whether it’s interesting. It’s who already knows. WarmStars scans the repo and turns the founder and the early stargazers into named people with company context and a public email where one exists, so you can send a specific, founder-to-investor note before the project ever opens a data room.
Star velocity is a real adoption curve, visible before a project pitches anyone. Filter by how recently people starred (a Pro filter) to tell this week’s momentum from last year’s, and track the repos in your thesis while the move is early.
Scan the repo and turn the founder and standout early stargazers into named profiles: who they are, where they work, and the email to reach them where it’s public.
You know the exact project and the exact week it took off. That beats a generic "loved your work" intro every other fund is also sending.
Every scanned stargazer carries the context that separates a founder worth a call from a drive-by star, and the means to reach them first. On Pro, filter by follower reach, repo count, how recently they starred, location, and social presence, then sort your outreach to the Verified emails first.
companyWhere an early stargazer works: a tell for who the project is landing with, and which operators are paying attention.
followersReach as a proxy for influence; the engineers others follow are the early believers worth a note.
starred_atWhen someone starred, so you can tell the day-one believers from the bandwagon and time your outreach.
emailA public address for a founder-to-investor email that doesn’t route through a generic contact form. When one turns up later, pull it into a repo you already scanned in one click, no re-scan.
A repo gaining 1,900 stars a week comes back with its founder, with company context and a direct email. Save that founder to a built-in board and work them through New, Contacted, and Replied. The warm intro you’d otherwise wait on a mutual to make.
