Founders Email List

A founder has no gatekeeper, no procurement and no committee. One inbox decides. This founders email list is built from official registers, so every founder on it runs a real, active, registered business, including the newest ones.

1.8M+founder contacts, updated monthly

What you get

Every founder contact comes with the business behind it

Most vendors sell you a name and an email. We add the full registry record of the business that person runs. You know who you are writing to and what they are responsible for, before you write a word.

How to use this list

Four channels to one very full inbox

Founders get more cold email than anyone else on this site. The way through is not more email, it is more channels: a LinkedIn touch, a short email, a call, and for your best accounts a letter. All four live in one record.

1

Warm up on LinkedIn

Connect and comment a week before you write. Your name should not be new when your email lands.

2

Time your email

Send early in the morning, Tuesday to Thursday. Three short sentences and one clear ask.

3

Follow up by phone

Call two days after the email. The direct phone is in the record where available.

4

Send direct mail to top accounts

A letter to the registered address stands out. Save it for the accounts that matter most.

Know your reader

How to reach a founder

Founders read on their phone, between two other jobs. You get one short sentence to prove you know what stage they are at. Stage is everything with this audience.

What they care about

Growth, runway and time. A new founder is buying banking, legal, insurance and accounting. A funded founder is buying tools and talent. Match your offer to the age of the business, our register data tells you exactly how old it is.

When to reach out

For new businesses, the weeks right after incorporation, when every service is still being chosen. Founders also read outside office hours, so early evening sends perform here in a way they do for no other role.

What gets delegated

Almost nothing at first. The founder is the CEO, CFO and office manager in one person, which means your email answers to all three at once. Later, tooling moves to the first operations hire, so land early.

Coverage
