Ideal customer profile (ICP)

also: ICP, target account profile

A definition of the accounts most likely to become good customers, the fit criteria that decide who belongs in your market.

An ICP describes the accounts worth your attention: industry, size, business model, tech stack, and the specific problems you solve. It's the filter that turns 'everyone' into 'your market.'

A good ICP is specific enough to exclude. If it doesn't rule out large swaths of the world, it isn't doing its job. It should also be tied to evidence, the traits that actually correlate with your best closed-won deals, not aspirations.

ICP is the fit half of prioritization. On its own it produces a static list; paired with buying signals, it produces a short, current list of good-fit accounts with a reason to talk now.

How Intakra treats it

Intakra does not build your ICP or find accounts for you. You bring the accounts you sell into and describe your offer; Intakra checks each project it finds against that description and only tells you about the ones that fit.

Get heads-ups on your own accounts.

Intakra watches job posts, SEC filings, government contracts and company websites for the accounts on your list. When one starts a project you can help with, we email you the proof and a rough time frame. Free for 14 days on 150 accounts. No card needed.
