A starting point for your founder list.
46.7% of the historical role profiles had an email field. 71,250 had a phone field; 143,003 had both email and a company website. Counts are profiles, not unique email addresses.
Profiles with a job title matching founder, including co-founder titles. Email coverage means an email field was present; it is not a deliverability test. These are historical totals, not live results. Your count changes with the selected filters.
Build the list in three steps
Define your audience
Choose a country and company employee band. The initial role or keyword filters described on this page are editable in the dashboard.
Check the count for free
Run a count preview to see matching totals. It shows no contact details and uses no search credits.
Retrieve and export contacts
Sign in, choose a lead limit and run a search. Each returned lead uses one credit. Exporting a saved list uses no additional search credits.
Filters that make your founder list relevant
Founder role
Founder and Co-Founder for founder outreach; Founder & CEO when you need the person leading the company.
Company industry
Separate software founders, agency founders and service businesses so the list matches your offer.
Company size
Use employee bands to distinguish small founder-led teams from larger companies.
Location
Choose the contact’s country or narrow by the company’s location in the dashboard.
What a returned contact can include
Names, titles, company details and available contact fields. Missing fields remain empty; email availability does not establish deliverability.
| Name | Role | Company domain | Phone | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alex Example | Co-Founder | example.com | al••@example.com | When available |
The free preview returns counts only. Contact records are returned after an account search; the example above shows the fields, not a free sample of actual contacts.
Questions about founder email lists
How many founder emails are available?
The June 13, 2026 snapshot contained 435,969 founder profiles with an email field, from 933,122 matching profiles. Current results depend on the database and your filters. Use the count preview for your selected audience.
Does this list include co-founders?
Yes. The initial search includes Founder, Co-Founder and Founder & CEO. You can remove or add titles in the dashboard before running a search.
Can I build a startup or SaaS founder email list?
Use founder titles with the company industry, employee size and location filters that fit your target market. A founder title alone does not prove the company is a startup or a SaaS business.
Are email addresses verified?
The coverage figures count records with an email field. They do not establish current deliverability. Review returned contact details and use your email verification workflow before outreach.
Are phone numbers included?
Some founder records have phones. The snapshot contained 57,574 records with both email and phone. Enable the phone-availability filter when your list requires both fields.
Can I download the whole list for free?
Count previews are free and show totals only. Retrieving contact records requires an account and uses one search credit per returned lead. Downloading a saved list uses no additional search credits.
